Licorice Arctic Myminiglass 6x6x3 Block Seves – Fire Rated, 71% Light

Description

Product Overview

The Licorice Arctic Myminiglass 6x6x3 glass block is engineered by Seves to meet demanding construction standards while delivering aesthetic versatility. Measuring 5.75 x 3.13 x 5.75 inches and weighing approximately 4 pounds, each block features a licorice‑colored bonding coating that enhances mortar adhesion and provides a unique, warm hue. The block is fire‑rated for 45 minutes, offering critical safety in fire‑prone environments. With a visible light transmission of 71%, it allows ample daylight to permeate interior spaces, reducing reliance on artificial lighting.

Technical specifications include a shading coefficient of .65, a solar heat gain coefficient ranging from .66 to .68, and a thermal resistance (R‑value) of 1.89. Sound transmission is rated at 41 dB, contributing to acoustic comfort in both residential and commercial settings. The heat transmission U‑value stands at .53 BTU/hr·ft²·°F, indicating efficient thermal performance.

Usage

These glass blocks are ideal for a variety of applications, from interior partition walls that benefit from natural light to exterior façades that require fire resistance. Architects and builders often select them for modern office spaces, boutique hotels, and upscale residential projects where design elegance and safety intersect. The blocks can be installed in both load‑bearing and non‑load‑bearing walls, making them suitable for structural and decorative purposes alike.

Because the blocks lack perforations, they provide a solid surface that resists moisture infiltration, making them a reliable choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and other high‑humidity areas. Their high light transmission also makes them perfect for atriums, stairwells, and hallway lighting solutions, creating bright, welcoming environments without the need for additional fixtures.
