Structural Silicone Glazing Cambridge

Pro-Sealant Solutions Ltd provides a structural silicone glazing service across Cambridge.

It is almost impossible to build a high rise without using glass. Glass offers comfortable and healthy environments for workers by bringing natural light into the spaces.

Despite the benefits, there are some disadvantages to using glazing - it isn't structural and can't hold up a building.

Because you need to support a heavy load without compromising on transparency, a steel or aluminium frame with glass panels works best as an exterior wall cladding system.  These walls are known as curtain walls and they have been a stylish and practical way to handle high amounts of glazing in a building for a number of decades.

However there's one problem - glazing plus frame isn't the best weatherproof option.  Wind can sneak through those gaps, no matter how small.  And rain always finds a way.

So there needs to be a solution that can help bind the two together and complete the project.  The answer is called structural silicone glazing.

Our structural silicone glazing in area 4 offers the best way to use lots of glazing and still have an energy-efficient building that is a pleasant place to work.  Not only that but it will repel lots of UV damage which causes many sealants to crack and wear.

We specialise in high grade silicone sealants that can withstand the rigours of high rise buildings.  If this sounds like what you need, contact us today to learn more.
