This system offers a completely smooth façade appearance, where the insulated glass unit is mounted in front of a column/beam structure that supports the load of the aluminum frame to which it is bonded. Some of the systems used in silicone façade applications include Schuco U-profile applications, Raeyners systems, and silicone-filled insulation units with U-mounting brackets.

The insulated glass unit, filled with silicone, is bonded to the selected aluminum frame using structural silicone and sent to the construction site for installation.

Alcam manufactures insulated glass for all types of silicone façade applications in collaboration with approved structural silicone suppliers. The process of bonding the glass to aluminum frames/cassettes (BONDING) is critical in silicone façade systems. Alcam performs all necessary operations to ensure easy installation of the system. These operations include using self-channel U-profiles (Schuco), installing U-brackets on external sealing silicone, and other assembly equipment. The bonding process is a safety-sensitive operation. Both the materials used and the application technique are crucial in preventing the risk of glass falling from the façade. Alcam works with approved suppliers for silicone materials and performs all necessary adhesion and breakage tests in its laboratories, ensuring compliance with relevant standards.
