Metal Networks for Authentic WECK®

Full-frame extruded aluminum system adds strength, saves labor.

Now, WECK block windows can be preassembled off-site, like conventional windows. (Installed quickly with optional nailing fins.) Or you can construct a framed wall of blocks, on site, up to 150 sq. ft. – and still save much time and labor.

Framed curved-wall system for design versatility, increased strength, added security.

BlokUp’s exclusive connectable radius sections permit any professional tradesman to create graceful curved walls of glass, indoors or out. Frame and horizontal metal sections provide added strength for additional home security. Hinged metal sections can be easily bent to fit any wall radius.

Anchor Clip system provides clean-line walls of glass block, without aesthetic or structural compromise.

Special telescopic anchor clip permits unobstructed installations without sacrificing strength or stability. System adapts to any-size opening. As with framed systems, BlokUp’s Clip System adds the strength of horizontal metal beams.

3 Sealant is applied to the center of the horizontal separator and on the sides of the frame. Next, the first block of the second course is laid. Sealant is then applied to the vertical side of the block, and the next vertical separator put in place.
