Glazing Solutions

Advanced silicone technologies engineered to support durable, high-performance glazing systems from architectural façades to residential windows.
Quick links

Glass plays a critical role in modern building design, enabling natural light, energy efficiency, and architectural expression while demanding reliable long-term performance. Our silicone glazing solutions help create durable, weather-resistant glass systems across commercial, residential, and specialty applications.

From structural glazing and insulating glass to residential fenestration, our silicone technologies provide the flexibility, adhesion, and durability needed to support demanding glazing requirements throughout the building lifecycle. Designed for compatibility with a wide range of glass and frame systems, these solutions help architects, fabricators, and glazing professionals achieve performance, reliability, and design freedom.

Support Energy-Efficient Glazing Systems

Silicone solutions help maintain the performance of insulating glass units and glazing assemblies, supporting improved building efficiency, occupant comfort, and sustainability goals.

Provide Reliable Performance Across Glazing Applications

From commercial curtain walls to residential windows, silicone technologies provide durable adhesion and compatibility across glass, metal, and other common glazing substrates.

Deliver Long-Term Weather Resistance

High-performance silicone sealants help protect glazing systems from air and water infiltration, UV exposure, and temperature changes while maintaining flexibility through building movement.

Enable Architectural Design Freedom

Silicone glazing technologies support innovative glass designs, including expansive façades, complex geometries, and minimal-frame architectural systems, helping designers achieve their vision without compromising performance.

FAQs

Why is silicone used in glazing systems?

Silicone provides excellent durability, flexibility, weather resistance, and adhesion, making it suitable for demanding glazing applications exposed to movement, UV radiation, and temperature changes.

What is the difference between structural glazing and weathersealing?

Structural glazing uses silicone to bond glass to supporting structures, while weathersealing uses sealants to protect joints and interfaces from air and water infiltration.

What is the UltraGlaze structural silicone glazing system used for?

The UltraGlaze structural silicone glazing system is used to bond glass to metal framing systems in curtain wall and façade construction. It enables structural load transfer between glass and frame using a silicone-based adhesive sealant in place of mechanical retention systems, depending on system design.

How do glazing sealants support energy efficiency?

Glazing sealants help maintain the performance of glass systems by reducing air and moisture infiltration and supporting the long-term integrity of insulating glass units.

Are silicone glazing solutions suitable for residential applications?

Yes. Silicone glazing solutions are used in residential and light commercial fenestration applications, providing durable weather protection and long-term performance.
