Window Glazing Tape
Window glazing tape, also known as structural glazing spacer tape, is used as a spacer for joint size control in structural silicone glazing systems. It is designed not only as a spacer for glass, but also as a spacer for metal, stone, mineral cement and plastic panels in structural silicone glazing systems. It is used to temporarily fix glass or commissions to the frame when manufacturing unitized structural silicone glazing and cladding systems in the workshop to temporarily ensure that the lightweight veneer is in contact with the substrate while the permanent structural silicone adhesive cures into an insulation layer to reduce heat conduction, thereby providing a uniform sight line in the viewing area.
Different Types of Windows Glazing Tape
As a professional window glazing tape manufacturer and supplier, Toptape specializes in producing different kinds of glazing tapes for windows, one is open-cell PVC foam glazing tape, and the other is closed-cell EVA foam tape. PVC is closer to Norton, while EVA is more economical! You can choose the type according to your budget and application, welcome to contact Toptape for details!
Open-cell PVC Glazing Tape and Closed-cell EVA Glazing Tape
Open-cell PVC foam tape
Open-cell PVC foam tape is a foam structure made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. Its characteristic is that the pores inside the foam are interconnected, and it has certain air permeability and sound absorption ability. This tape is usually used in occasions where slight ventilation or drainage is required. At the same time, it also has good compression resilience and softness.
Closed-cell EVA foam tape
Closed-cell EVA foam tape is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) material. The pores inside the foam structure are independently closed, and it has strong sealing, water resistance and elasticity. The closed-cell structure enables it to completely block the penetration of air and water to ensure the sealing effect.
Introduction to the characteristics of window sealing tape
As an important auxiliary material in construction, window glazing tape has excellent sealing, weather resistance and sound insulation and heat insulation effects. It can not only effectively prevent the penetration of air and moisture, but also has anti-ultraviolet, anti-aging and other characteristics, and adapts to various climatic conditions. In addition, the sound insulation and thermal insulation properties of glass tape help to improve the comfort of the indoor environment while reducing energy consumption.
Excellent sealing performance: Window glazing tape has excellent waterproof and airproof functions, which can effectively prevent the penetration of air, dust and moisture, thereby improving the air tightness and water tightness of windows and ensuring a more comfortable indoor environment.
Strong weather resistance: Window glass tape usually has good UV resistance, aging resistance and high and low temperature resistance, and can remain stable for a long time under various harsh climatic conditions, extending the service life of windows.
Good sound insulation and heat insulation effect: Tape materials usually have certain sound insulation and heat insulation functions, which can reduce the interference of external noise, while improving the heat insulation effect of windows and helping to save energy.
Application of window glazing tape
Window glazing tape has a wide range of applicability in the construction field, especially in structural silicone systems, sound insulation and earthquake resistance applications.
- Window sealing: Glass tape is often used for sealing between window frames and glass to prevent the penetration of air, moisture and dust, thereby improving the air tightness and water tightness of windows. Especially in high humidity or rainy areas, glass tape can prevent water vapor from entering the room and avoid water leakage and condensation on the edges of windows.
- Curtain wall system: In the installation of glass curtain walls in large buildings, glass tape is used to seal the joints between different glass panels to ensure the overall stability and sealing performance of the curtain wall. At the same time, it can also provide a certain degree of elasticity, absorb the slight deformation of the building, and maintain the long-term safety of the curtain wall structure.
- Energy-saving renovation of doors and windows: Window glazing tape can be used for energy-saving renovation of old doors and windows. By enhancing the sealing of windows, reducing indoor and outdoor heat exchange, and improving energy efficiency. Under the demand for winter warmth and summer insulation, the use of tape can significantly improve the insulation effect of windows and reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning and heating.
How to choose window glazing tape（One table to understand）
| Selection Criteria | Description | Suitable Situations |
|---|---|---|
| Tape Material | – EVA Foam Tape: Good adhesion and flexibility. – PVC Tape: Strong weather resistance, good waterproofing. – Silicone Tape: High heat and cold resistance. | Choose based on environment and needs. |
| Adhesion Strength | Choose tapes with strong adhesive or double-sided tape designs to ensure long-lasting adhesion. | Smooth glass surfaces requiring strong adhesion. |
| Weather Resistance | Select tapes with UV resistance, waterproof, and anti-mold properties for long-term outdoor or humid environments. | Exposure to sunlight, rain, or cold climates. |
| Thickness & Flexibility | Choose appropriate thickness based on gap size and ensure the tape is flexible enough to fit snugly around window edges. | Large gaps. |
| Shock Resistance | Select tapes with cushioning and shock-absorbing functions to reduce the risk of glass breakage. | Earthquake-prone areas. |
| Anti-Mold & Environmental Friendliness | Choose tapes with strong anti-mold properties and those meeting environmental standards to avoid harmful emissions. | Humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms. |
