Glass blocks provide a lot of support to a wall while still allowing light to flow through the wall. Glass blocks are held together by grout, which hardens like cement. When you are taking down a glass block you will have to remove the hard grout between the blocks. Use care to ensure that you don't break the glass blocks.
Step 1
Move furniture away from the glass block wall or window. Place drop cloths over the carpet and furniture you are unable to remove. Removing grout mortar is a messy job that will cover the room in a layer of dust.

Step 2
Put on gloves and goggles to protect your eyes and skin.
Step 3
Position the cold chisel on the layer of mortar between the glass blocks. If you are dismantling an entire glass block wall, begin with a glass block on a top corner of the wall.
Step 4
Tap the end of the chisel with a hammer several times. This will dislodge the mortar. Repeat all of the way around the glass block to remove it.
Step 5
Repeat with all of the other glass blocks.
