Rods and Mortar Kit Calculator

Choosing your favoured glass block (or blocks) is only the half of it! Use our Kit Calculator to work out how much installation material is required for your specific build. Simply choose the block type, select the available spacer joint, enter a width and height – whether that be in blocks or millimetres – and let the calculator do the rest. Once happy with your measurements click on Add to Cart and the required materials will be carried over to the cart, making it easier to place an order.

The Rods and Mortar Kit Calculator is recommended for External openings, for an internal project, use our Block Lock Kit Calculator or Pegasus Block Lock Kit Calculator
