The new Accord™ Building Module adapts to the customer’s bespoke specification.

Glasdon recently unveiled the latest product in their range of buildings and housings – a customisable building module that delivers the benefits of off-site manufacturing without having to compromise on functionality.

While traditional modular buildings offer some ability to configure, they aren’t always suitable for the specific needs of your site. For some locations, a certain aesthetic or branding may be desired, while in others, an enhanced level of performance is required.

Accord offers customers the flexibility and freedom to configure their building however they like. The building uses a hot-rolled steel structural frame to allow walls to be configured with doors, windows, and openings as required by the function of the building.

Whether that be a security gatehouse with openings for checking ID cards, a tourist point with large welcoming windows, or a retail space with an open storefront, Accord can adapt seamlessly to the customer’s design intent.

Part of that agility is also the wide range of cladding options available. With so many finishes that can be applied to Accord, customers can express full visual control over their building’s exterior, helping them achieve their desired look.

This feature can be used to ensure the building conforms with corporate branding, or blends into the existing aesthetic of a site, or even to make sure it stands out in a high footfall area.

Accord is compact but versatile, with a maximum footprint of 10m x 3.0m. The unit is ideal for any small external functions that require a building, such as retail spaces, pop-up stores, security gatehouses, small office suites, visitor points, or welfare hubs.

Beacon™ Modular Building System Video

Glasdon UK Limited are experts in the design, manufacture, delivery, and installation of modular building systems. Customers agree that our Beacon Modular Building is their first choice when it comes to superior accommodation for security, transport, offices, and other specialised applications.

The Beacon is a high-quality preassembled building system and offers all the firmly anchored mainstay features that make our building & housing products our customers’ go-to building system for a range of diverse needs and requirements. Suitable for 24/7 working environments, such as gatehouses, receptions, toll booths, vehicle checkpoints, staff offices, security and control centres, and much more.

It comes in 17 size configurations and two standard colours, natural anodised aluminium and anthracite grey. Assembled from a combination of thermally broken aluminium alloy extrusions, composite floor and wall panels, fixed glazing, and proprietary aluminium framed window and door systems, the Beacon’s framework is further complemented by an aluminium fascia system that has been designed together with a SIP (Structurally Insulated Panel) roof system, to achieve improved thermal performance.

The Beacon also features an external steel finish that is weather-resistant and pre-finished. This helps insulate the composite wall panels. All windows and doors are double-glazed as standard, and an insulated composite floor panel on a preservative-treated timber plinth with a vapour barrier further adds to the Beacon’s thermally efficient design.

Its excellent levels of insulation allow for minimal heat loss in colder weather, and less heat gain during warmer seasons.

Our Beacon remains competitively priced and highly adaptable, offering up to 16 wall panel configurations including blank walls and glazed doors, as well as bespoke internal layouts thanks to a variety of interior options, from electrics all the way to sanitaryware. Further options, such as anti-sun solar control glass, air conditioning packages (HVAC), exterior lighting, canopies and non-standard finishes (available at an extra cost) add to the Beacon’s customisability.

From external smoking & waiting shelters, to corral cycle compounds or multi-purpose canopies, the Glasdon selection of prefab shelters provides a solution for almost any application.

Aero™ Cycle Shelter Range

Aero Cycle Shelters provide a sheltered and contemporary storage space for bicycles and scooters, allowing cyclists to store their equipment in a safe, designated spot. Not only does this prevent damage to bicycles from bad weather, but it also boosts participation in active travel by offering purpose-built cycling infrastructure.

The shelter’s curved design means rain and snow slide off the roof easily, while its strong, corrosion-resistant aluminium roof skeleton makes it extremely durable, able to withstand harsh weather conditions. Toughened PETG glazing keeps bikes visible for security purposes and is strong enough to withstand bangs, knocks and significant abuse.

Available as either a standalone cycle shelter (with storage capacity for 10 bicycles) or a corral cycle compound (with storage capacity for 20 bicycles), Aero cycle shelters are well suited for schools, workplaces, public buildings, transport hubs, and apartment blocks.

Heritage & Carleton™ Shelters

Ideal for sheltered waiting areas such as bus stops and break areas, smoking/vaping shelters, or pay-and-display shelters, our range of all-weather shelters are low maintenance and aesthetically pleasing.

The Heritage shelter is specially designed to coordinate with traditional street furniture and blend in perfectly with townships, suburbs, and city streets. Manufactured from low maintenance materials and available in 7 standard layouts, Heritage provides a traditional appeal to suit any location.

The Carleton Shelter is ideal for urban centres, airports, and major transport hubs, with a modern, streamlined design for high-traffic environments. Its transparent wall panels can be specified in toughened glass, thermoplastic glazing, or blank GRP, allowing for a tailored approach to each site. With 9 standard layouts (up to 3 bays in length), and a flat roof for sites with restricted access, Carleton Shelters can be configured to fit a variety of spaces and applications.

Modus™ Shelter Range  

Modus Multi-Purpose Shelters offer a cost-effective shelter solution that is ideal for use as a small safety point or covering for personnel or equipment.

Available in two sizes (Modus 770 and Modus 1280 models), these shelters create a small, highly visible alcove that is suited for a variety of functions, such as creating a fire safety or first aid point, or placing a pay and display facility inside.

The double-skinned roof and environmentally friendly Ecoboard™ panels on three sides are produced using 100% recycled post-consumer waste (mixed plastics). The low-maintenance frame extrusion and spigot legs contain a mix of aluminium and steel.

Delivered fully assembled as standard, the Modus shelter offers an excellent solution for when cost and time are factors on site.

The Glasdon Olympic is designed to be convenient and delivered/offloaded in fully assembled form, reducing on-site disruption and ease of installation. Its robust construction allows the building to be easily relocated in the future, adding to long-term flexibility.

The Glasdon Olympic accommodates a wide range of optional features for internal comfort and function, including lighting, heating, glazing, and ventilation, allowing customers to tailor the building precisely to their specific operational needs.

Where required, the modular design also allows for on-site assembly, further adding to the flexibility of the system for more remote and restricted access sites.

Available Sizes: 1200 x 1500mm and/or 2200mm x 1500mm (external dimensions) floor plan, with a consistent height of 2415mm and weighing either 215kg (1200 x 1500mm) or 450kg (2200mm x 1500mm).

Bollard Socket Systems From Glasdon

Glasdon UK Limited are manufacturers of quality and cost-effective road traffic bollards, made from rigid Durapol® material or self-righting Impactapol® material. With bollards commonly being used to mark hazards, collisions and accidents will often cause them to become damaged, requiring replacement. If the damaged bollard is installed as a permanent fixture, it could prove difficult, expensive, and dangerous to replace. That’s where socket systems come inOffered as a specialised fixing option for their bollards, Glasdon’s socket systems are designed to make it quicker and easier to install and remove bollard posts. Built into the ground, Glasdon’s socket systems allow bollards to be inserted and withdrawn at will, with the full process taking only seconds.

The benefits are numerous – not only will personnel spend less time performing maintenance on or near roadways, but socket systems remove the need for any expensive and disruptive groundwork beyond an initial installation. Instead, Glasdon’s socket systems can outlast multiple different bollards and continue to accept replacements throughout their life span.

Additionally, should an abnormally wide load require extra road space, or if vehicles need access to an area for a special event, socket systems provide the extra flexibility required. Simply remove and re-insert the bollard posts as needed, inserting a socket blanking plate into the system to nullify any trip hazards caused by the opening.

Glasdon’s Standard Socket System has been designed in detail and tested to stringent standards by our QA engineers to ensure durability and value for money. Compatible with rigid Durapol® bollards, posts can simply be slotted into the aperture for strong and unmoving placement.

Alternatively, Glasdon’s newest and most advanced Lockfast™ Socket System is made of Durapol® material and features a twist lock for added durability. Compatible with both rigid Durapol® bollards and self-righting Impactapol® bollards, the Lockfast™ model allows bollards to be oriented in two directions, and provides directional arrows, visual logo aids, and a square profile to make installation smoother and more streamlined.

For safer, cost-effective, and time-saving bollard maintenance, choose Glasdon socket systems. A full guide on the features, benefits, and uses of socket systems can be found in Glasdon’s eBook on the topic.
