GLAZING MATERIALS
Most glazing installations are limited to silicone materials for both structural and non-
structural requirements. Specific silicone structural adhesive products are manufactured
for structural applications involving adhering glass or other facade materials to a building
envelope’s structural components. Unlike silicone sealant materials described previously,
the structural glazing materials are typically much higher in tensile, modulus, tear and peel
strength, to provide the necessary adhesion qualities during life-cycling.
