SPECIFICATION
Connecting panels are produced with 190x190x80 glass blocks with 10mm joints and a 40mm perimeter border.
WEIGHT
The weight of each panel is the same as the standard panels detailed minus the weight of either one or two of the perimeter borders.
Precast connecting panel
Shown illustrated below are two examples of how connecting panels work : (Ref 34) (Ref 44) (Ref 34)
Vertical joint based on three standard panels (Ref 34) minus one edge of the perimeter border and one standard panel (Ref 44) minus two edges of the perimeter border.
When the panels are being installed on site, the connecting joint should be 10mm, so all the horizontal and vertical joints modulate. Glass Block Technology can provide Precast panel matching mortar.
SPECIFICATION
Interlocking panels are only produced with 190x190x80 La Rochere Glass blocks. The perimeter border at each end is 50mm wide where the panel will be secured into each jamb of the opening. The horizontal and vertical joint widths of interlocking panels are 20mm. The top and bottom horizontal joints of the panels are 10mm. When another interlocking panel is placed on top the two 10mm joints double up to create a horizontal joint of 20mm. The maximum width that La Rochere will produce in an interlocking precast panel is 8 blocks wide.
