Structural-Glazing / Structural-Sealant-Glazing

Structural glazing (SG) or structural sealant glazing (SSG) is a mullion-transom façade construction in which the glazing is not held in place by pressure profiles, but by bonding.

The disc is supported by a retaining profile hidden in the space between the discs. The bonding absorbs wind, suction and earthquake loads.

Sealing profiles are usually made of silicone. For façade heights of 8 m or more, a circumferential retaining profile is required in Germany, which provides additional protection for the bonding and secures the pane.
