Silicone Facade Cladding Systems
These systems offer a long-lasting and safe facade solution due to their high resistance to external environmental conditions. Their versatility in both modern and classical architectural projects makes capped facade systems a highly flexible solution. They are an ideal choice for those who want to combine the transparency of glass with the robustness of aluminum in building design.
What is Silicone Facade Cladding?
Silicone facade cladding is an exterior facade system created by bonding glass surfaces to aluminum profiles using special structural silicone. In this system, no profiles are visible from the outside; only a flat and monolithic glass surface is seen. This adds a more modern and holistic atmosphere to the building. At the same time, the system is highly effective in terms of sealing.
With its structure that minimizes both water and air passage, it offers a long-lasting solution to the user. It is also frequently preferred because it provides design freedom in architectural projects.
Advantages of Silicone Facade Systems
The biggest advantage offered by this system is that it ensures the glass looks elegant and smooth on the exterior facade. The invisibility of the aluminum profiles gives the exterior facade a prestigious appearance. In addition, silicone facades offer high-level performance in terms of thermal insulation. Along with the right glass choice, it contributes to energy savings. Furthermore, thanks to UV-resistant silicones, long-lasting protection against the harmful effects of the sun is achieved. Sound insulation, fire resistance, and low maintenance requirements are other prominent features of the system.
Where is it Used?
Silicone facade cladding systems are widely used, especially in high-rise buildings, residences, shopping malls, hotel, and office projects. These structures have high expectations in terms of both aesthetics and performance. Silicone facades are frequently preferred because they meet these expectations. Additionally, these systems, which can be custom-designed for each project, offer architects the opportunity to create unique facade designs. Tailor-made applications can be developed with different glass colors, special angled solutions, and various cladding details.
How is the Installation Process?
During the installation phase, first, the load-bearing aluminum profiles are prepared according to the project details and mounted on the facade. Then, the glass panels are bonded to these profiles using special structural silicone. The quality of the silicone used in this process and its correct application are highly critical issues. Even the smallest mistake during application can negatively affect the system's insulation performance. Thanks to installations carried out by professional teams, a facade that is both durable and safe is achieved. Therefore, the experience of the applying company is of great importance for a successful result.
How are Prices Determined?
Silicone facade prices vary on a square meter basis and according to the technical details of the project. The type of glass used, the quality of the aluminum profile, and workmanship details are the main factors affecting the total cost. Although average costs fluctuate within certain ranges, obtaining a project-specific quote is the most accurate approach. Even though it may seem costly at first glance, silicone facade systems become an economical solution in the long run with the energy savings and low maintenance costs they provide. With correct planning, a budget-friendly and high-quality application can be achieved.
What Should Be Considered During Implementation?
The most important factor to consider in a silicone facade system is the quality of the materials to be used and the experience of the applying company. The system must be planned correctly, taking into account the appropriate glass selection for the project, environmental factors (wind, sun, precipitation, etc.), and aesthetic expectations. Furthermore, issues such as occupational safety, installation quality, and timely delivery must definitely be evaluated during the selection of the company. Reference projects and customer reviews will be guiding at this point. A high-quality silicone facade application adds value to your building and ensures trouble-free use for many years.
