Watchrod (Design & Build) Ltd. are one of the UK’s leading specialist companies in the glass block industry with over 20 years of professional experience.

We are the approved supplier and installer of Seves, Solaris and Weck glass blocks and can assist at all stages from design through to the final completion of the work.

We have realised the need for a company to carry out the complete installation of glass blocks, and where required, the supporting metalwork framing under the same contract. By using our own team of skilled installers we provide an efficient and smooth operation throughout the contract.

Glass blocks are manufactured from two hollow moulded glass sections which are then sealed together to give a hermetically sealed glass block. They are available in many patterns, sizes and colours.

We can provide glass blocks to achieve several levels of fire ratings with both integrity and insulation ranging from

• 60 /15 minutes using the Standard Glass Blocks
• 60 / 26 minutes using the BSH Glass Blocks
• 30 / 30 minutes using the F1930 Fire Blocks
• 60 / 60 minutes using the F1960 Fire Blocks
• 120 / 30 minutes using the SHS Fire Blocks.

All ratings are fully covered with fire certificates and full technical data is available.

As the only company to install free hand without the use of packers, our installers can adjust the joints to overcome incorrect opening sizes on site, which is a major problem when installing glass blocks.
