Overview
Structural Glazing system is a model of curtain wall systems, which is a practical and cost effective alternative for architectural glass designs.
Structural Glazing systems consist of glass that is bonded or anchored back to a structure without the use of continuously gasket aluminum pressure plates or caps. The glass can be comprised of monolithic, laminated, dual-glazed or even triple-glazed insulating glass units (IGUs).
Structurally glazed systems create a greater transparency than traditional systems. There are less visual interruptions due to the lack of metal on the exterior (and potentially the interior), creating a seamless, continuous glass look.
