silicone glazing must withstand forces stemming from
wind, thermal expansion, and building shifts. Over
time, this method has seen advancements in materials,
performance, and sustainability. Weatherproofing

attributes, exhibit joint flexibility of up to ± 25% and
more, rendering them ideal for various applications, NON-SAG

doors (excluding glass). They often come at a more
budget-friendly cost compared to silicones, providing
