New Construction Solutions

High-performance silicone solutions designed to support durable, energy-efficient buildings from design through construction.
Quick links

Modern buildings demand materials that support architectural vision while delivering long-term performance. Our silicone technologies help architects, engineers, and construction teams create durable building envelopes through every stage of new construction.

From high-performance glass façades and insulating glazing systems to air and water barriers, weathersealing, and roof protection, our solutions help manage moisture, movement, and environmental exposure while supporting energy efficiency, sustainability goals, and project timelines. Designed for compatibility across a wide range of substrates and building systems, our silicone solutions help reduce risk and provide confidence from specification through installation.

Protect Buildings From Day One

Selecting the right envelope solutions early helps prevent costly remediation later. Durable silicone technologies help protect critical building components against weather exposure, movement, and deterioration throughout the building lifecycle.

Support Faster, More Efficient Installation

Primerless, fast-curing technologies help simplify application and support demanding construction schedules. Solutions designed for varied conditions and substrates help reduce installation challenges and keep projects moving.

Improve Building Efficiency and Sustainability

High-performance sealants, coatings, and barrier systems help manage air and moisture movement, contributing to energy-efficient buildings and sustainability objectives including low-VOC requirements and green building certifications.

Design Flexibility Without Compromising Performance

Silicone technologies enable architects and designers to achieve ambitious building designs while maintaining durability, weather resistance, and long-term performance. From expansive glass façades to complex building envelopes, solutions support both aesthetics and functionality.

FAQs

What silicone solutions are used in new construction?

Silicone technologies are commonly used in new construction for structural glazing, insulating glass, weathersealing, air and water barriers, architectural coatings, and roof protection systems.

Why should building envelope materials be considered early in design?

Early material selection helps ensure compatibility between building systems, reduces installation risks, and supports long-term performance, energy efficiency, and maintenance goals.

How do silicone sealants support energy-efficient buildings?

Silicone sealants and barrier systems help reduce unwanted air and moisture movement through the building envelope, supporting improved building efficiency and occupant comfort.

Are silicone solutions suitable for large commercial buildings?

Yes. Silicone technologies are widely used in high-rise buildings, stadiums, airports, offices, and other complex commercial projects where durability and performance are critical.

How do silicone building envelope solutions support sustainable construction?

Durable envelope systems can help reduce maintenance requirements, extend building service life, and support energy efficiency goals. Low-VOC products and materials that contribute toward green building certifications can help projects meet sustainability objectives.
