Structural glazing spacer

摘要

A method of preparing a window module includes providing a metal frame having a first major surface, applying a structural glazing tape to the first major surface of the metal frame, and positioning a glass panel overtop the structural glazing tape. The structural glazing tape includes a polymer foam tape having first and second major surfaces, an adhesive layer overlying the first major surface for bonding the structural glazing tape to the structural frame, and a release layer overlying the second major surface. The method further includes filling a channel defined by the glass panel, the metal frame, and the structural glazing tape with a curable sealant, and curing the sealant to bond the glass panel and the metal frame together.

1. A method of preparing a window module, comprising:
providing a metal frame having a first major surface; applying a structural glazing tape to the first major surface of the metal frame, the structural glazing tape comprising: a polymer foam tape having first and second major surfaces; an adhesive layer overlying the first major surface for bonding the structural glazing tape to the structural frame; and a release layer overlying the second major surface; positioning a glass panel on the structural glazing tape such that, when assembled in the window module, the glass panel is adjacent the release layer; filling a space with a curable sealant, the space defined by the glass panel, the metal frame, and the structural glazing tape; and curing the sealant to bond the glass panel and the metal frame together.
