Whether you are planning
to contract the installation or do it yourself,
these are the basic installation methods to
consider.
Mortar with VeriTru® Spacers
Installing Pittsburgh Corning Glass Block
products with mortar gives you or your contractor
great potential: curves, multi-story expanses,
exterior and interior applications, shower
enclosures and more are all within possibility.
The details in Figures
1 and 2 show you two
ways to complete the installation.

KWiK'N EZ® RIGID TRACK Silicone System
The KWiK'N EZ® RIGID TRACK Silicone System
of spacer strips and silicone sealant is especially
suited to do-it-yourself installation and is
available for use with the THINLINE™ Series
Glass Block. Used in straight panels, it creates
a monolithic effect that's virtually clear,
colorless and crystal-like. The KWiK'N EZ® RIGID
TRACK Silicone System works well in both interior
and exterior applications. It is recommended
for interior applications up to 85 square feet
or less that are framed on at least three sides.
Exterior panels should not exceed 25 square
feet and must be framed on all four sides.
See Figure
3 for an example.
