Why is the new Rigid Track System an improvement over the flexible spacer in the old kits?
The new Rigid Track System offers much greater stability in the assembly stage. It speeds construction and is easier to work with. What else was changed with the installation of the silicone system? There are two major changes: A) The top perimeter channel is cut lengthwise with half of the channel installed with silicone sealant in a final step. It is much easier to install the final top row of block this way. B) We now recommend that the striking tool (spoon) be used only to scoop out excess sealant. The back of the “spoon” is not used to smooth joints. The elimination of this step greatly improves the look of the silicone joints. Do accessories for the silicone system come in kits? Yes. The accessories (i.e., plastic spacer, sealant, etc.) are available in kits for the Thinline Series glass block. Each kit contains 3 pieces of 36″ track, 12 pieces of 7-3/4″ vertical spacer, striking tool, glass block sealant, and installation instructions. The 36″ pieces are also sold individually.
