• BlokUp: Horizontal aluminum separators are continuous from left jamb to right jamb. These function as stiffeners or beams in each joint and are the heart of the integrity of the BlokUp system. Vertical separators are the height of the glass block. A silicone bead runs through the middle of the panel, and two finishing silicone beads are applied at the glass block outer joints. This results in three silicone seals against leakage. The perimeter of the BlokUp panel may incorporate an aluminum or vinyl frame to secure the horizontals. An alternate installation method secures the horizontal separators with clips that are imbedded at the jambs.
