Glass pavers are cast either as single layer blocks or shells, or as hollow blocks where insulation is required. The standard sizes are 120, 150 and 190 mm square, with a depth of 55, 60 or 80 mm for single layer shells and 80, 100 and 160 mm for double layer insulating blocks. Single layer square blocks range in size from 90 to 300 mm with thicknesses typically between 18 and 38 mm. Surfaces may be clear or textured for non-slip action. On-site installation requires reinforced concrete construction allowing a minimum 30 mm joint between adjacent blocks and appropriate expansion joints around panels. Precast panels offer a high standard of quality control and rapid installation. They may also be used to create architectural features such as naturally illuminated domes or archways. Glass pavers are Designed to meet various needs, from the highest quality urban furnishing to interior design.
