Looking to build two glass block walls for a tiled shower. Both walls would be anchored only on the bottom and one side. Has anyone used any of the mortarless glass block installation systems?
You will find most of the helpful posters have none and most of these men will suggest you download an EBook. $10.00 for "Beer Drinking Advice" & "Kerdi Know How" which for the record are both online for free everyday.
If you are talking about John's COPYRIGHTED book, then if it is available free, it is illegal. He, rightfully, charges a nominal fee for it. If you feel comfortable stealing it, then that's up to you.
Will you have an open entry (ie no curtain or door)?
With the pony walls design and the direction of the water I would not be installing your 1"x6" granite on top of the pony wall but instead installing it flush with the top of the pony wall and pitched into the room in all directions. These glass blocks will need to anchor to the ceiling in my opinion or you will have a weak structure.
This Pony wall as well should be a tank to begin with. What size glass block will you be using?
Do you have access from below? Who will be doing the framing or wood work?
What size tile have you chossen? For this layout I would be looking at 4"x4" or 2"x2" tile for a standard drain or Kerdi Drain. If you prefer larger format tile a channel drain or some extra tile cuts will be needed to make the pitch work.
Are you building a bench in that back corner? Any Shampoo niches?

This is awkward, but...
