Structurally glazed silicone (SSG) systems allow glazing of curtain walling without the use of visible face caps, to achieve a striking, flush appearance to the exterior.
The glazing units are constructed with the use of structural silicone sealant and contain an integrated channel profile around the perimeter. Toggle clips positioned on the mullions and transoms locate into the channel profile and provide the mechanical retention to secure the pane to the curtain wall.
This affords the specifier assurity and peace of mind of a guaranteed installation.
The glazing unit is deadload supported by the transom, using a combination of setting blocks and glass supports, additionally the final aesthetics of the façade is enhanced by the use of a flush seal between the glass units by means of a UV resistant weatherproofing silicone sealant.
