Structural Glazing

Structural Glazing

Structural Glazing is a modern architectural system that uses high-performance glass fixed with strong structural sealants instead of traditional frames, creating a seamless and elegant glass façade. This technique enhances both the visual and functional aspects of a building, offering a clean, frameless appearance with uninterrupted views.

Designed for strength and safety, structural glazing systems are engineered to withstand wind loads, thermal expansion, and environmental stress while maintaining airtight and watertight performance. The use of high-quality silicone and aluminium framing ensures long-lasting durability and minimal maintenance.

Commonly used in commercial complexes, corporate offices, and modern residential projects, structural glazing enhances natural light, reduces heat gain, and adds a sophisticated touch to any structure. It perfectly combines aesthetics, energy efficiency, and engineering precision to deliver a sleek, contemporary façade solution.

Structural Glazing – Modern Glass Façade Systems for Contemporary Architecture

Structural glazing is a cutting-edge façade system that combines aesthetics, performance, and strength. It allows architects to create sleek, seamless glass exteriors that give buildings a modern and elegant appearance while ensuring safety and energy efficiency.

What Is Structural Glazing?

Structural glazing involves fixing glass panels to the building structure using high-strength silicone sealants or concealed aluminium frames, eliminating the need for visible mechanical fasteners. The result is a smooth, frameless glass façade that provides maximum natural light and an uninterrupted view.

This system is widely used in commercial complexes, corporate offices, and high-rise buildings to achieve a refined and contemporary look.

  • Elegant and Seamless Appearance: Creates a clean, modern look with invisible framing.
  • Natural Light and Energy Efficiency: Maximizes daylight and reduces the need for artificial lighting.
  • Weather and Air Tightness: Protects against wind, rain, and noise while maintaining interior comfort.
  • High Strength and Safety: Uses toughened or laminated glass with silicone bonding for superior performance.
  • Durable and Low Maintenance: Resistant to corrosion and ageing, ensuring long service life.
  • Thermal and Acoustic Insulation: Improves building efficiency and occupant comfort.
  • Customizable Designs: Compatible with various glass types reflective, tinted, double-glazed, or low-E.
  • Two-Sided Structural Glazing: Glass is held mechanically on two sides and bonded on the other two.
  • Four-Sided Structural Glazing: Glass panels are bonded on all sides with silicone sealant for a fully frameless look.
  • Semi-Unitized Glazing: Panels are partially assembled in the factory and installed on-site for faster setup.
  • Unitized Glazing System: Fully pre-assembled panels ensure high precision and faster installation for high-rise projects.
  • Corporate office façades
  • Commercial complexes and malls
  • High-rise residential towers
  • IT parks and institutional buildings
  • Airports and convention centres
  • Atriums, skylights, and canopies

Structural glazing requires precision engineering and skilled installation.
Steps include:

  1. Designing and preparing the aluminium framework.
  2. Attaching glass panels using structural silicone or concealed brackets.
  3. Sealing joints for weather resistance and airtightness.
  4. Final inspection for alignment, waterproofing, and finish.

 

Proper installation ensures long-term performance, safety, and visual perfection.

Our structural glazing systems comply with international safety standards such as ASTM and EN, and follow Indian codes for wind load and seismic resistance.
We use energy-efficient glass that reduces heat gain, supports sustainable building practices, and contributes to green certifications like LEED and IGBC.

  • Expert design and installation team
  • Use of premium glass and sealants from reputed brands
  • Customized façade engineering for every project
  • Timely completion and cost-effective solutions
  • Maintenance and after-installation support

 

We deliver high-quality glazing systems that balance strength, aesthetics, and performance, redefining architectural excellence.

What is the life span of structural glazing?

Properly installed systems can last 20–25 years with minimal maintenance.

Yes, it uses high-strength glass, tested sealants, and engineered framing systems for maximum safety.

Yes, when combined with insulated or low-E glass, it improves energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer.

Regular cleaning with mild solutions and periodic inspections are sufficient to maintain its appearance and performance.
