Not to worry! It's not uncommon for some mortar to get into the texture of the glass design during installation, and is easily removed during the mortaring process. Sometimes a small amount of mortar, or a haze may be left behind after the mortar is cleaned up. Generally, all that's needed is a little white vinegar to clean it out if any is left behind after the installation.

You sure can! We regularly do custom designs, such as company logos and custom artwork submitted to us by our customers. Just send us a high-resolution graphics file with your design and we will do a mock-up for you on the number of blocks you specify. We will e-mail the custom design to you for approval. Once we get your approval for the design, we will proceed with the artwork on your art glass block. We even have a place for you to upload your graphics files to our server.

Once you have chosen your glass blocks fixing system our online store can assist you in calculating the materials you will need to build your glass blocks design. Vists our Glass Blocks Packs section and simply follow the instructions.

Here are the glass blocks physical properties (thermal transmission, light transmission and sound insulation) of our standard 190x190x80 blocks.

La Rochere clear glass blocks, when installed in accordance with the Rods & Mortar method and the perimeter expansion joint is caulked over in a fire retardent silicon, have a 60 minute fire integrity and 15 minute thermal isolation. We may also have fireblocks in stock which have a 120 minute fire integrity and 30 minute thermal isolation. Please contact us and we will check.

The mortar mix can vary, depending upon the sand used and other factors, however a typical mortar mix in the Perth region is 6 parts good sharp yellow brickies sand, 1 part lime and 1 part of cream (off-white) cement.

We do not currently list them on the site as they may not always be in stock. Please contact us and we will check the availability.

NO. Concord films will only adhere to smooth glass surfaces. The films will not adhere properly to glass blocks, textured, sandblasted or other types of non-smooth surfaces.

Obviously, you want to avoid the kind of damage described above, and in order to accurately recreate the original mortar you typically have to have the mortar analyzed. Although a building constructed before 1871 was undoubtedly pointed with lime mortar (because portland cement wasn't even available until that year) the years after 1871 are a grey area.

If you do find one of those rare instances where one of our parts is defective, we'll replace it free of charge, naturally. And if you should inadvertently damage a part during assembly, we can replace, at modest cost, any part of any Murray Clock Craft kit.

NOTE: SDR stands for Standard Diameter Ratio and SDR35 means the diameter is 35 times the thickness of the pipe wall. Review the specifications required by the regulatory agencies in your area. While SDR 35 pipe is classed as a free flow type of pipe it has been used for pump fed pipe lines for decades. Pressure rated pipes will rate a schedule 40,80 etc., and are typically water transfer pipe. Follow the Pipe Length Chart for system satisfaction. Remember, these figures are maximum guidelines.

If you order one of our standard designs, it generally takes less than 14 days to produce your order and ship it. Custom orders may take longer. Call us if you want a time estimate on your custom design.

NRG Licenses block manufacturers to produce and service a regional area. Licensees distribute the blocks through normal channels, such as dealers and building and masonry contractors. Anchor Concrete Products is the licensed manufacturer of NRG Block in the tri-state area and Philadelphia market.

Hydraulic lime mortar is a lime mortar that hardens in damp or even wet conditions through a chemical reaction rather than exposure to air. (This is in contrast to standard, or non-hydraulic lime mortars, which harden by absorbing carbon dioxide, a process known as carbonation.) Hydraulic qualities are created when clay is included in the lime mixture.

All installers will have a full complement of tools required for these installations. Allen (hex) wrenches are used to drive high quality fine threaded screws to achieve the required tightening torque.

Languages such as Python, do not use symbols to mark the start and end of a block of statements. Instead, the indentation of each statement is used to determine where a block begins and ends. This type of information cannot be recognized by the Deterministic Finite Automata that is used by the tokenizer. Whether an "Indentation Increase" or "Identation Decrease" occurs depends on the content of whitespace.

Normally, a project takes from four to eight weeks from the time a design is approved and final sizes are determined. However, each project will have its own timeline. We are happy to work with you to adjust our lead times according to the project size and construction schedules.

As with most things in life, you usually get what you pay for when it comes to landscape design. Of course, costs vary tremendously depending upon factors such as the size of the property, the nature of the design, the materials selected, adjustments made during the course of the project and the time and skills required to complete the installation. A good rule of thumb is to consider investing 10% of your property’s net worth in the landscape.
