Glass Block Seves Basic Wave Azure 7.5×7.5×3 Durable Fire Rated

Description

Product Overview

The Seves Basic Wave Azure glass block is a premium building material designed for modern construction and design projects. Measuring 7.5 x 7.5 x 3 inches, each block is crafted from high‑quality glass that provides excellent durability and a clear, bright appearance. A white bond coating is applied to the surface, ensuring optimal mortar adhesion and simplifying installation for contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike. The block carries a 45 minute fire rating, meeting stringent safety standards while still allowing 75 percent light transmission, which helps illuminate interior spaces naturally. Its sound transmission class (STC) rating of 37 dB reduces ambient noise, creating a more comfortable environment. Additional technical specifications include a shading coefficient of 87.40, a solar heat gain coefficient of 76, and a thermal resistance R‑value of 1.89, making it suitable for energy‑efficient building designs.

Usage

This glass block is ideal for a wide range of applications. Architects and interior designers frequently use it to create striking partition walls, decorative facades, and light‑filled atriums. Its robust construction makes it suitable for both residential and commercial projects, including office partitions, hotel lobbies, and retail storefronts. The block’s fire‑rated performance ensures compliance with building codes in areas where fire safety is a priority, such as stairwells and corridors. Because of its high light transmission, it can replace traditional opaque materials in spaces where natural daylight is desired, reducing the need for artificial lighting and lowering energy costs. The block’s acoustic properties also make it a smart choice for conference rooms, libraries, and classrooms where sound control is essential.
