It is peculiar framework for future wall where glass blocks are mounted. It is necessary to apply rubber gaskets to the best fastening. The convenience of way is that a little time is necessary for receiving the finished partition. The grid for blocks needs to be attached screws to floor. In need of them it is possible to remove and rearrange design to the right place. The lack of "dry" way is that with it you do not receive high sound insulation. At the second way this shortcoming is absent, but it will be difficult for the person without experience. However there are some cunnings with which work will become much easier: — Do not put a day more than three rows in height as glass needs more time for drying of solution and skhvatyvaniye. — you do not build too high partitions as the weight of wall can damage the lower blocks. — the metal rods laid in seams across and verticals best of all will be suitable For strengthening of wall. — After completion of the main work, it is necessary to close up seams color zatirka that the beautiful effect was gained. The third way of laying demands availability of the special gluing structure. It can be bought together with material. As soon as glue stiffens, the beautiful transparent film which well approaches decor turns out. Therefore it is not necessary to carry out final finishing.
