Structural glazing is a type of weatherproofing that uses silicone sealant to create a barrier between the curtain wall and the glazing. This type of sealant is different from the kind used in basic window sealing because it is specifically designed to withstand extreme weather conditions.

Structural glazing is often used in commercial construction projects because it provides a high level of protection against wind, rain, and other elements. This type of weatherproofing can also improve the energy efficiency of a building by preventing drafts and heat loss.

How Does Structural Glazing Work?

Structural glazing is typically performed by a professional contractor who has experience with this type of weatherproofing. The first step is to clean the surface of the curtain wall so that the silicone sealant will adhere properly. Next, a bead of sealant is applied around the perimeter of the glazing. Once the bead is in place, the glass panel is set into place and sealed into position.

The final step is to apply silicone sealant around the edges of the glass panel to create a watertight seal. This type of sealant cures quickly, so it is important to make sure that all seams are filled before the silicone has a chance to harden.

Structural glazing is an effective way to weatherproof a building and improve its energy efficiency. This type of glazing can be performed by a professional contractor who has experience with this type of work.
