Glass Brick Company can offer Ezylay installation systems for all applications; silicone, mortar or fire rated installation. There are also different framing options available to suit your specific project requirements.

SILICONE INSTALLATION:

Ideal for the D.I.Y. market without sacrificing strength or performance. The Ezylay silicone installation system is dry assembled making it the quickest and easiest installation system on the market today. It incorporates an aluminium frame, spacers, aluminium stiffener bars for superior strength and translucent silicone for a neat professional finish. The aluminium stiffener bars allow Ezylay silicone panels to be constructed up to 5 metres wide in external applications.

MORTAR INSTALLATION:

The traditional installation system incorporating an aluminium frame, spacers, galvanised or stainless steel reinforcing and premix mortar formulated specifically for glass brick installation giving neat white professional joints. The Ezylay Mortar installation system can be constructed to unlimited widths, incorporating expansion/control joints every 6 metres.

ALUMINIUM FRAMES:

The use of aluminium frames is critical for glass brick installation as they allow for the glass bricks to expand and contract independently of the surrounding structure. Because glass bricks are non structural, they need to be isolated from the surrounding structure. Ezylay glass brick frames also allow for your glass brick panel to be properly sealed to the surrounding structure and properly flashed in the same manner as an aluminium window. Ezylay frame options:
  • Standard 38mm frame
  • Slimline 24mm frame
  • Flange frame: ideal for installing flush to external walls, giving a neat finish with no need for additional trims.
