Demolition glass block wall

[nina74]

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help me with a question I have about our glass block wall. We wish to tear it down and try to rebuild it since some blocks have cracked. How can we best do this to keep as many blocks as possible intact? Thank you in advance.

Best regards, Nina

Hello, and welcome here..

Assuming it is built in the traditional way, a chisel is the first thing that comes to mind. Block by block. Don't forget safety glasses!

At the same time, it can be both difficult and time-consuming to get the existing blocks in a condition that makes them reusable, and to get them to sit straight and attach properly..
Simple standard-sized glass blocks are now sold for under 20 SEK each.

Thank you so much for the help. I guess I'll have to aim to buy new blocks, it seems. Then I just need to throw on my overalls and take the opportunity to let out some aggression at the same time. Thanks once again
