GLASS BLOCK SOLUTIONS TAKE SHAPE... WHEN THE LEADER IS YOUR PARTNER!

As we develop new PC GlassBlock shapes, the needs of professional mason's are always kept in mind.

• The TRIDRON 45° Block unit (center), a triangular block that allows you to create angles up to a full circle in 45° increments.

• With the EndBlock™ Finishing Unit (left) you can provide continuous glass block edges, horizontal or vertical, on interior panels.
