FAQ

Can this glass block be used for load‑bearing walls?

Yes, the CrossRib Glass Block is tempered and engineered to meet load‑bearing requirements when installed within a properly designed frame that complies with local building codes. It is commonly used in interior partition walls that require both strength and aesthetic appeal.

What type of sealant is recommended for installation?

We recommend a high‑quality, clear silicone sealant that is rated for glass applications. The sealant should be applied evenly around the block edges to create a watertight seal and accommodate any slight movement due to temperature changes.

Is the glass block suitable for outdoor use?

While the block is designed primarily for interior applications, it can be used in covered outdoor settings such as patios or garden walls where it is protected from direct exposure to rain and extreme temperature fluctuations. For fully exposed outdoor installations, additional protective framing and weather‑resistant sealants are advised.

How does the ribbed pattern affect light transmission?

The ribbed pattern subtly diffuses light, reducing glare while still allowing a generous amount of natural illumination to pass through. This effect creates a softer ambience and can enhance privacy without sacrificing brightness.

What warranty does Seves offer on this product?

Seves provides a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, mishandling, or external forces.
