Aluminium Structure Glazing

Structural glazing systems, in their simplest form, are types of curtain wall systems consisting of glass that is bonded or anchored back to a structure without the use of continuously gasketed aluminum pressure plates or caps.Structural Glazing Structural Glazing is a type of curtain wall systems consisting of bonding glass to an aluminum window frame utilizing a high strength, high performance silicon sealant.In the world of construction, glazing refers to the installation of glass in windows, doors, or any other fixed opening. Glazing can be referred to as any and all the glass within the structure or the installation of any piece of glass within a sash or frame.Structural glazing is most often used to construct curtain walls for skyscrapers. Glass facades have now become ubiquitous in city centres around the world. Structural glazing systems give these towering edifices a sleek, seamless look while still providing adequate insulation and protection from the elements.Glazes consist of silica, fluxes and aluminum oxide. Silica is the structural material for the glaze and if you heat it high enough it can turn to glass. Its melting temperature is too high for ceramic kilns, so silica is combined with fluxes, substances that prevent oxidation, to lower the melting point.
