Granite Slab On A Glass Block Wall


Anybody ever install a granite slab/cap on a glass block knee-wall?

I've got a customer wanting to do a vanity with a built up shelf coming perpendicular to glass block knee-wall and have built up shelf withgranite slab to match vanity granite slab. Does that description make sense?

Is there supposed to be an overhang on it...or is it just a wall cap?

I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I have never done it though. I wouldnt do it with an overhang because I don't see a good way to add support and still look good.
