INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES:

Glass Blocks can be installed in different ways using "fixing adhesive" or mounted on prefabricated wooden, aluminium or plastic panels.
The use of prefabricated panel is most suitable for restoration and remodeling work on existing buildings.
During installation, Glass Blocks should not be used as a load bearing structure .Therefore all supporting panels must be self supporting.It is also important to avoid extra structural load on the glass block from above and /or from the side.
For areas above 4m2 start laying by positioning a vertical steel profile on the lateral support, leaving a minimum gap of 10mm between the steel profile and the claro glass block.
Reinforcement with 6mm-8mm iron rods is compulsory for areas above 4m2. Reinforcement insures stability and provides extra security.Re-inforcement rods are used horizontally and vertically, avoiding any contact with the glass blocks.
prepare a normal mortar from "fixing adhesive"- specially formulated for greater adhesion in fixing of glass blocks.
Use the plastic spacers to reduce installation time and to ensure uniform spacing between the glass blocks.For a large area we recommend 8mm spacing between glass blocks, while we recommend 6-8mm spacing for small areas.
After application, wipe off excess paste(mortar) with a damp cloth and remove the outer plate of the spacers(cap) before grouting.It is advisable you allow the mortar to dry before grouting.

Precaution:

Do not carry out external laying work under the rain
Do not apply the adhesive on an area which you are not ready to lay within 15 minutes.
