Structural Glazing

tructural Glazing systems are a shining and cost effective solution for fashionable glass design. The systems are made of a fully or partially framed internal finish with the glass structurally glazed or adhered to the outside face. A complete glow silicone jointed external finish. Structural glazing provides a high flexibility in regards to the sections utilised and framework finish.

From a weathering point of view, Structural Glazing systems are characteristically dependent on the application of it. Consequently, a Structural Glazing system has been set up and initially tested under strict weather conditions. Weather integrity should be maintained for at least 10 years from the warranty associated with this product.

With the unparalleled stability and safety, this innovative product helps designers to build intact construction out of glass, allowing architects design flexibility to create bright and highly attractive working environments with more light and a better feeling of breathing space.

Silicone structural glazing is a process utilizing a silicone adhesive to attach glass, metal, or other panel material to the structure of a building. It must maintain perfect ratio of adhesive and cohesive integrity as the disguise subjected to thermal stresses. Structural glazing is a high performance application and not suitable for this application. Only silicone structural glazing have been developed and tested exclusively for structural glazing applications.

This manual is projected to give supervision on the proper design and use of silicone structural glazing applications. The proposals made based on the experience of Dow Corning supporting projects for over 30 years. Structural glazing projects differ in building design, environment and customer requirements by Technical Service Engineers.
