Structural Glazing
Structural glazing is a system of bonding glass lo an aluminum window frame utilizing a high – strength, high performance silicone sealant. It uses the adhesive qualities of silicone sealants to retain the glass in the frame by adhesion without the necessity of any mechanical retention such as beads, clips or bolt fixing.
Structural glazing with sealants allows perfectly uniform large glazed surfaces, not interrupted by traditional frames or any other supporting or flitting system projecting out of the Frame. Instead of being fitted in a frame, the glass is fixed to a support, which in turn is attached to a structural element of the building, the tightness of the whole system being obtained by a silicone seal. The glass is fixed on its support by means of a silicone seal along the edges of the internal surface.
This technique can be used with almost all types of glass, including insulating glass units. The glazing is prepared in a factory by mounting a structural seal support Frame onto glass, complete with appropriate setting blocks, location blocks and distance pieces. On site, the support frame is attached to the building structure by mechanical means and the gaps between the glazing’s are sealed.
