Structural Glazing

---

Definitie

Structural glazing is a method of glazing where the glass is fixed to the structure with the help of strong and durable adhesive tapes or structural silicone sealant instead of using mechanical fixings like bolts or screws.

Omschrijving

Structural glazing creates a seamless and modern look in buildings by eliminating the need for visible metal frames. It allows for larger glass panels, maximizes natural light intake, and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the structure. The technique requires precise engineering calculations to ensure the glass panels can withstand wind loads, thermal stress, and other structural demands. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial to prevent sealant failure, water leakage, or glass breakage.
