    Q:can these blocks be used outdoors for landscaping purpose?
    by|Jan 27, 2017
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  These glass blocks can be used for interior or exterior projects so, yes, they may be used in many landscaping projects. However, the block is not load bearing and should not be installed face down. You also do not want to drill or cut into the block as this will break the glass block’s seal and permit condensation on the inside of the block. (Etching for decorative purposes on the surface of the glass block is fine).

      A:  No. It is simply the block. They come direct from the manufacturer and half of ours come broken.

        Q:Are these blocks compatible with the Pittsburgh Corning Decora 7-3/4 in. x 7-3/4 in. x 3-1/8 in. ...
        by|Dec 12, 2016
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  The size and pattern of these blocks are compatible. However, there is a very slight difference in the glass tint, and the Clearly Secure blocks contain a painted white edge coating which helps to brighten the project which Pittsburgh Corning's block did not. If you are installing using the mortar method, it is likely you will not notice a difference in the two blocks, but if you are installing using the silicone assembly method, you would likely not want to install these blocks side by side.

          I didn't expect the block to have white around the outside perimeter. I returned this item. I have ordered and used these blocks for years, so I was surprised to see the white on them. I am having trouble finding the ones I really need for my customers.

          The glass blocks are great but unfortunately one of them arrived chipped so can't be used. If they were shipped with adequate protection and didn't arrive damaged I'd give them 5 stars.

          These bricks are only good if you are grouting them. I bought them for a decorative purpose but had to return because there's a white spay paint-like substance around all the edges that will be visible if not covered or grouted. The picture doesn't really show that.

          It worked well for the project I was working on. The only thing I didn't really care for is the white that was sprayed around the 3" part of the glass. When I ordered before, it was clear glass on every side. Not sure why the white is there. It made the project a little tricky.
