Glass concrete for exterior facade, does it exist?
Hi
I will soon be building a new wall in Leca that will support a new facade. Inside the wall, there will be a small space, about 120 cm between floor and ceiling. In there, we will store some stuff, like garden tools, I suppose. Unless I get it as a "man cave," of course.
Tonight I came up with the idea of why not throw in one or two concrete glass blocks, in a clear finish, into the wall. It would be like two small windows letting in a bit of light. I haven't gotten this approved by the government yet, and it might look very unstylish. But maybe also really nice on an autumn evening with some light shining inside.
In any case, I can't find out if concrete glass is okay in a load-bearing exterior facade. Most seem to be for shower spaces.
Does anyone know if concrete glass even exists for exterior facades?
I mean something like this:
