Abstract
A glass bottle is a very popular product for packaging
presently since the transparency of itself shows the product
inside and glass also tolerates chemical reaction. However, glass
bottle cannot be disintegrated easily other than it is reproduced
by melting and remolding for a new bottle. Thus reuse of refused
glass bottles in a proper way is to use its characteristics of
transparency and its durability to make a new material. A glass-

block is a building material for constructing a wall. The glassblock wall promotes daylight in building. Thus reuse of refused
glass bottle to make a glass-bottle block is of this study. This
paper presents a method of producing a refused glass-bottle
block for using it as a building wall material. It also presents
methods of studying comparative walls in the heat and light
transferring properties. The study showed that a material cost for
a refused glass-bottle block is 7 times cheaper than glass block
in the market. However thermal transfer patterns of the glassbottle block are similar to the patterns of brick wall with stucco.
The transmission factor of the clear glass-bottle block and tint
glass-bottle block are low comparing with the transmission factor
of the glass block.
