Who makes (or where can I buy) 2" glass blocks?

 Glass blocks (for privacy or decorative walls and window openings) are
usually 3" and 4" wide.

According to the following statement (which is apparently 6 years old),
it would seem that 2" blocks should be some-what common today:

Building Products, March-April, 2004 by Stephanie Herzfeld  

Glass block manufacturers are keeping pace with acrylic, introducing
lighter, 2-inch-thick block windows,

"It's still heavier than acrylic, but it's a very manageable weight,"
says Kurt Hodson, general manager of the glass block maker Pacific
Accent. Two-inch-thick glass block weighs one-third less than
traditional 3-inch-thick glass block. Acrylic block weighs 75 percent
less than all glass blocks, manufacturers say.

Hodson notes that 2-inch thick block is overtaking traditional 3- and
4-inch-thick block and more companies are offering it, (...)

What I can find on the net are pre-fab window products using 2" blocks,

And another 2" prefab window system with the brand name "Hy Lite":

What I can't find is any evidence that anyone is making / selling 2"
glass blocks (any size, 6" x 6", 8" x 8", etc) individually (or in the
typical box-quantity of 4, 8, etc).

So - are 2" glass blocks available to the home-owner / renovator?

We don't know that they don't have what he wants, as he did not state such
in his post.  Hence why I suggest the OP contact the manufacturer directly.
They will have the information he seeks, and depending upon who he talks to,
the ability to provide him with the product he is looking for.

Contact them.  Find out.  See what they can do.

The best thing to do is for the OP to contact the manufacturer and
find out who distributes the 2" blocks in his area.  This isn't Rocket
Science here.
