Aluminium Door, Window And Facade System Gaskets & Seals
Curtain wall systems utilize glazing systems during manufacturing which are made up of rubber gaskets and plastic seals whose primary purpose is to reduce air flow and moisture from penetrating the building's interior. Both of these parts of the system play a crucial role in maintaining the structure's integrity and flexibility in ever changing weather conditions. While curtain wall systems seals can be made with different materials, plastic seals and sealants that are commonly made of silicone which has a reputation for having remarkable resistance to changing temperatures.
Silicone has the added benefit of being a great insulator which is crucial in providing overall performance of the wall system of providing controlled temperature that doesn't compromise the energy efficiency of the building. Rubber gaskets that are also used to reduce vibration, keep the glass at a measured distance from the window frame, uniform cushioning between panels, and for providing additional temperature control.
