This innovative mold features a movable wall that can be positioned to create 20.32, 30.48, or 40.64 centimeter glass blocks. The mold's detachable design facilitates effortless glass removal and controlled cooling. The mold incorporates a heat-resistant handle due to the high temperatures involved. Weighing 54.5 kilograms, the mold features drafted edges to prevent glass adhesion. The movable wall's versatility poses timing challenges, as optimal glass block formation requires precise heating and cooling durations. To prevent thermal shock and ensure consistent light diffusion, the mold should be preheated before the initial glass pour. The resulting cooling marks on the glass enhance its light-scattering properties, allowing for optimal illumination with our LED lighting system.

The raw glass is melted to 1371.2 degrees Celsius within the glass oven. Subsequently, the molten glass is extracted using a ladle from a pool of the liquefied material. The higher the temperature of the glass, the more readily it levels out due to gravitational forces, facilitating a smooth pour from the ladle. The glass is poured quickly and precisely into the mold using a ladle then excess glass is removed with scissors to achieve the desired level. After pouring, the glass must cool and solidify within the mold to prevent slumping. Once cooled, the mold is carefully removed to release the glass brick.

The glass brick is briefly torched to maintain stability and prevent cracking during cooling. It is then annealed in a kiln for 24 hours to achieve optimal strength. The finished brick exhibits minor surface imperfections due to the cooling process. Its sloped face creates a shingle effect, while the staggered holes produce a spiral pattern when stacked in a staggered arrangement.
