Easifix sleeve is a UPVC U channel which accommodates a timber insert and is used around the perimeter edge of an Easifix glass block panel. The sleeve and timber allow anchor brackets to be secured easily and avoid screw fixing directly to masonry, steel or aluminium end/corner post. If used in a wet area the joint between the glass block and sleeve should be sufficiently caulked with silicone.

If Easifix is fitted into a timber stud wall and a clean line between the blocks and the plasterboard is required, it is permissible to screw the anchor brackets directly to the timber.

e.g. Easifix direct to End post (no sleeve) 4 pilot holes per anchor bracket need to be pre-drilled. 4 holes per anchor bracket x 11 blocks high x 2 sides = 88 pre-drilled holes.

Hence Easifix sleeve!
