Silicone Set System

16-6

The Silicone Set System uses a structural silicone between the GRANEX® panels and a subframe of specially coated aluminum extrusions to fasten the panels without any screws. The installed cost of this system is 50% to 60% more than conventional face fastening.

The aluminum extrusions onto which the silicone and two sided tape are applied, are supplied in different shapes as shown on the sketches. These are fastened to the subwall with screws. It is important that the amount of thermal expansion which the aluminum extrusions will undergo, relative to the subwall, he considered. Oversized or slotted holes and gaps between the ends of adjacent pieces, will be required. While the structural silicone sets to its full strength, a two sided tape is used to hold the panels firmly in place.
