Gordon Glass Neoprene Setting Blocks 1/16″ x 3/8″ x 3″ 50 Pack

Description

Product Overview

The Gordon Glass® Neoprene Setting Blocks are engineered to deliver precise centering and cushioning for glass block installations. Constructed from high‑grade neoprene, each block measures 1/16 inch in thickness, 3/8 inch in width, and 3 inches in length, providing a low‑profile yet durable interface between the glass and surrounding framing. The material offers excellent resistance to compression, temperature variations, and moisture, ensuring long‑term stability in both interior and exterior applications. With a pack of 50 blocks, installers have sufficient inventory to complete large projects without interruption, while maintaining consistent spacing and alignment across every unit. These blocks are compatible with standard glass block dimensions and can be used in residential, commercial, and artistic settings where a clean, professional finish is required.

Usage

Neoprene setting blocks are ideal for a wide range of scenarios, from new construction to renovation projects. They excel in applications such as bathroom walls, pool enclosures, decorative partitions, and storefront facades where glass blocks are employed for both aesthetic appeal and structural support. The blocks simplify the installation process by providing a ready‑made spacer that eliminates the need for custom‑cut shims or additional adhesives. Installers can place the blocks directly into the mortar or silicone joint, allowing the glass to sit evenly and securely. This reduces the risk of cracking during handling and ensures a uniform appearance. Whether you are a seasoned contractor or a DIY enthusiast, the blocks are easy to handle, position, and adjust, making them a versatile tool for any glass block project.

FAQ

What is the purpose of neoprene setting blocks?

Neoprene setting blocks act as spacers and cushions between glass blocks and the surrounding framing, ensuring even spacing, reducing stress on the glass, and helping to achieve a smooth, professional finish.

Yes, the neoprene material is resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations, making the blocks suitable for both interior and exterior installations such as pool enclosures and storefront facades.

Do I need additional adhesive when using the blocks?

The blocks are designed to be placed directly into mortar or silicone joint material. In most cases, no extra adhesive is required, but you may use a thin layer of silicone for added security in high‑movement areas.
