Statement of the problem. Glass is a material that can save raw materials if recycled. It can also lead to energy savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Recycled waste glass can be used as an important component in the ceramic and tile industry. About 7 percent of the household waste composition is glass that can be recycled. Recycled glass saves hundreds of thousands of tons of raw material each year, which reduces the need for raw material extraction, creates jobs and leads to the beauty of the surrounding areas. Results. In the present study, mechanical properties, impact properties and heat transmittances of architectural mortars produced from waste glass for use in interior and exterior facades of buildings have been examined. Three specimens from 6 different mixes formed for each test were produced: 40 40 160 mm for flexural and compressive tests and 100 100 25 mm slabs specimens for aesthetic appearance, impact and heat transmittances tests. In terms of aesthetic appearance, the specimens which are not used in sand but produced only from cement and glass products are chosen as the best mortars. The specimens containing glass crumbs and glass powder, especially M5 and M6, are also less porous than the other ones. The reason for this is that glass for cementitious mortar provides selfcompacting properties, which is also observed during mixing. Conclusions. According to the results, the mortar with mixing ratios of 1.5:3:1 (cement : glass aggregate: glass powder) seems appropriate in terms of appearance, mechanical, impact and thermal properties. It is also suggested that the selfassembly tools used to study impact and heat permeability be employed in the examination of construction building materials, because they have been found to give meaningful information in these matters.
