Can I use any tile grout with
the ProVantage glass block system? |
| |

No. You must use ProVantage
Glass Block Surface Grout, which has been specially formulated for use
with the system. |
| |
Can
I use any silicone sealant with the ProVantage spacers? |

How
big of a panel can I build with the ProVantage Glass Block Installation
System? |
| |
|
Interior panels must be no larger than 85 sq ft
and framed on at least three sides, with the unfinished sides no larger
than 8 feet. Exterior panels must be no larger than 50 sq ft and
framed on all four sides. |
| |
Can
I build the panel and grout the joints in the same day? |
| |
|

Can
I use either silicone or tile grout to finish the joints of my glass
block panel? |
| |
|
Panels built with the ProVantage system and have
at least 3-sided support can be completed by finishing the joints with
either silicone or surface grout. However, glass block panels
that have less than 3-sided support should be complete by finishing
the joints with surface grout only. |
| |
Can
I install Pittsburgh Corning Thinline blocks using the ProVantage system? |
| |
|
No. The ProVantage Glass Block Installation
System is designed for use with only Pittsburgh Corning Premiere Series

Can
glass block other than Pittsburgh Corning block be used with the ProVantage
system? |
| |
|
The ProVantage system was designed and tested
exclusively for use with Pittsburgh Corning block. Dimensional
characteristics and product composition of other glass blocks my prove
incompatible. |
| |
The
vertical spacers are precut for 8" high blocks, what do I use for
block heights of 6" or 12" |
| |
|
Vertical spacers for other than 8" high block
can be created by straight cutting a piece of horizontal spacer to fit
the appropriate height. |
