What is Structural Glazing? Light Grey silicone instead Black. Geodesic Dome Rooftop Skylight.

Light gray glazing is a new design phase in the glazing industry.

Rooftop Skylight Geodesic Dome build in Japan.
Glass Units have a gray border. The silicone between the Glass Units is also gray. Therefore, the finished building looks bright and unusual.

Masking type is glued to the edge of the glass to protect the glass surface from difficult cleaning. The gap between Glass Units is filled with silicone. Excess silicone is removed with putty. Masking type should be removed immediately, because the silicone starts to dry after only 20 minutes.

Silicone application temperature °C +5 to +40. Skin-over time 20 min (23°C). Tack-free time 30 min (23°C).

Structural glazing is an innovative building material that takes advantage of all modern technology has to offer. The specially reinforced glass used is strong enough to walk on and bear its own weight, and the flexible silicone adhesive provides a smooth, seamless aesthetic and eliminates the need for framing.

Double pane or Triple pane Glass Units Insulation:

Insulation is one of the great advantages of structural glazing. This may seem counterintuitive, because glass used to make spaces overheat during the day and cool off too much at night, but due to advances in technology, modern glass is actually very well insulated. Thermal glass technology uses “solar gain” to absorb the warmth of the sun and keep spaces at a comfortable ambient temperature regardless of the weather outside and the time of day.
