Silicone facade systems are high-performance facade solutions used to provide buildings with an aesthetic and functional exterior appearance. While giving structures a contemporary look, they also offer water insulation, airtightness, and energy efficiency.
All glass modules can be transformed into outward-opening hidden sashes with reinforced mechanisms and handles (without being visible from the outside when closed). The insulated glass used in silicone facades is manufactured in stages with special silicone filling that is resistant to UV rays. According to the system details, insulated glass units are bonded to cassettes produced in factory conditions using spacer tapes (Norton Tape) and structural silicone (General Electric, Dow Corning, etc.). The compatibility between the bonding silicone and the insulating glass sealant must be tested to prevent potential issues during the process.
What is a Silicone Facade?
A silicone facade is an exterior cladding system where the structural profiles are hidden behind the glass, and only glass is visible from the outside. The glass-to-glass joints are sealed with special silicone. It is also known as a "structural silicone facade".
Advantages
- Aesthetic and Transparent Design
No profiles are visible from the outside; the building gains a fully glass facade. - Water and Air Tightness
Thanks to high-quality silicones, superior resistance to water and air leakage is achieved. - Flexible Design Options
Can be applied in horizontal, vertical, or mixed layouts. Offers design flexibility with various glass color options. - Energy Efficiency
Thermal insulated glass combinations help maintain indoor temperature balance and provide energy savings. - Durability
Resistant to UV rays, temperature differences, and impacts.
