How to choose and install the glass brick?

Glass brick is popular decoration materials, it is shown and do not show,it will have the affect for interval but it will not affect daylighting , it looks beautiful, so this is loved by the reader. But, compare with traditional ceramic tile, glass brick sticks quite difficult from production make to construction shop. Next, we shares a set of glass block as below:

Glass brick is a high quality decorative new materials, due to the quality of glass brickis stable, at the same time with excellent functions and characteristics,it will  brought a lot of brilliance of our daily life, so it is widely used in interior decoration. It is mainly used in the outer wall, interval, corridor, passage, interval, ceiling, floor and other areas.

The size of the glass brick:

Regularl glass brick size is (190X190X80mm, 240X115X80mm, 240X240X80mm) small brick is (145*145*80mm) thick brick is (190*190*95mm, 145*145*95mm) especially standard brick is (240*240*80mm, 190 * 90 * 80 mm).

The glass brick has good sound insulation, heat insulation, waterproof, fireproof, pervious to light, energy-saving ,environmental protection, consolidate durable. It is made of two and a half billets fused together at high temperature, it not only adheres to the original characteristics of glass with strong light transmission, but also blends the new functions of construction as structural blocks.

The kind of glass brick and its auxiliary materials, standard, function, image, color should accord with demand, product should have certificate of quality  certificate. The masonry method of partition wall should meet the requirements of codes and schemes. The tension bars buried in partition wall masonry should be connected to the matrix scheme with correct orientation, and the tension pieces should be checked one by one before masonry.

At the same time, the appearance of glass brick is colour and lustre is unified, flat, clean, clear. End materials and adhesive solid, partition wall joints horizontal and vertical, glass without cracks, damage, scratches.

Choose qualified glass brick:

In addition, the inspection of glass processing products, in addition to the detection of flat glass requirements, should also check its processing quality, detection specifications and sizes are standard, processing accuracy and picture clarity meet the requirements, the side is not allowed to have damage. Vitreous brick exterior does not allow to have crack, in vitreous body do not allow opaque did not melt, do not allow the fusion between two vitreous body and glue to connect bad.

Visually, the brick should not have corrugations, bubbles and laminated stripes caused by uneven material in the glass brick Concave outside the appearance of vitreous brick should be less than 1mm, outside convex should be less than 2mm, weight should accord with quality standard, without the quality defect such as exterior warping and gap, burr, viewpoint wants founder.

Brick layout standard: according to the played azimuth line, first of all, it is necessary to carefully check whether the length of the glass brick wall conforms to the brick module.

If not fit, you can adjust the thickness of the channel steel or wood frame on both sides of the partition and the thickness of the brick joint, but the width of the adjustment on both sides of the partition should be kept consistent, and the width of the upper channel steel after adjustment should also be kept consistent as far as possible.

Those who need to note is, glass brick should choose edges and corners orderly, specification is same, diagonal is consistent, the surface does not have crack and knock against.

According to the situation of the site and the use of space to consider, and according to the material characteristics of the glass itself to do the selection. The appearance should be selected according to the lighting needs. In terms of function, it is appropriate to consider the toughness of glass, whether it can fit the safety conditions such as wind pressure and bearing of the site environment, and it has the function of isolating noise and heat insulation.

Pay attention to the construction conditions of the decoration site: there are no difficulties in the process of transferring glass building materials, do a good job of planning in advance, and the construction can be safe. In addition, the inside of the glass brick wall should not be placed or posted things, such as thermal insulation paper, window cloth or shutters, easy to form the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature, if not heat dissipation, glass brick will break due to thermal deformation and form a risk.

Corresponding safety marks: although the selection of appropriate thickness of glass, anti-collision wear as the main consideration, but the position of the glass equipment is assumed to be the area where people walk again and again, the safety of the glass is still slightly not good. After the equipment is finished, properly add safety notice marks, can avoid wear and tear, ensure the durability of the glass beautiful.

Glass brick paving process standard

To say the construction technology of glass brick again, it is mortar preparation above all (according to white cement: fine sand: build glue: water = 10:10:0.3:3 share mix evenly) then device positioning bracket (" + "type or" T "type or" L "type) and remove the redundant plate on positioning bracket by laying bricks or stones with mortar glass brick. First use a greasy knife to hook and remove excess mortar. Wipe off the mortar, and the glass brick will be ready.

You can also prepare the "+" word fixed distance frame and confirm the level of the long wood pieces (about 5cm wide, thickness does not exceed 0.4cm) in the scheme of construction place measurement, manufacturing wood frame, mixing special adhesive, and coated evenly. Starting from the corner below the frame, each piece of glass brick must be installed with a fixed distance frame at the four corners.
