Installation Guide

Note: Striking removes excess mortar and compacts

it to create a smooth, concave, moisture-proof seal.

C. After striking, use a damp sponge to remove the

excess mortar from the block face, rinsing the

sponge frequently. Do not be concerned about

the dry lm that remains on the blocks, it will be

cleaned o later.

Note: Allow the mortar to dry for about two to three hours

before proceeding.

D. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove the excess lm. A

common household plastic scouring pad can also

be used.

E. On both sides of the panel, apply sealant to the

joints at the head (top) and jambs (sides).

Note: Where curb was used, you’ll want to cover it with

trim molding. You may also use moldings at the jambs and

head.

F. If your glass block panel will function as a shower

wall, after about a week, coat the mortar joints on

both sides of the panel with tile grout sealer for

mold and mildew protection. Repeat this every

two to three years.
