Full details
The Block Lock Glass Block Installation Kit is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a clean, mortar-free method for building interior glass block walls. This system uses durable white PVC profiles and specialized adhesive to create a seamless, self-supporting structure, perfect for room dividers or feature panels. While it significantly simplifies the construction process, users should note that the system is strictly for non-load-bearing interior applications and requires a pre-prepared four-sided frame to ensure structural integrity.

What is the maximum height for a wall built with this kit?

Can I use blocks other than the 190 x 190 x 80 mm size?
The kit is designed specifically for standard 190 x 190 x 80 mm glass blocks to ensure the PVC profile fit is correct.
Do I need to mix mortar for this installation?

What type of frame is required for installation?

Troubleshooting
Adhesive not setting properly
Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils before applying the adhesive.
Wall feels slightly unstable
Verify that the wall is secured on all four sides to a rigid frame; the system requires a perimeter fix to remain self-supporting.
