Structural Glazing
Design-enhancing silicone structural glazing sealants expand architectural freedom and design options
Inspire the futurescape
Meeting structural glazing performance standards around the world, structural glazing sealants from Dow enable architects to continue to enhance their building designs, contributing to visually stunning glass façades.
In 1971, Dow pioneered four-sided silicone structural glazing (SSG), which helped define today’s beautiful city skylines. We continue to bring innovations to the market that not only continue to inspire architectural creativity, but also contribute to the overall sustainability of the built environment. These innovations include:
- High design strength silicone structural glazing solutions for demanding applications
- Crystal clear bonding silicone adhesive that eliminate the need to drill and bolt through the glass

Structural silicone joint dimensioning – ETAG002 and beyond
This presentation, given by Valerie Hayez at Glass Performance Days 2019, explores a method for silicone structural joint dimensioning in building facades where large glass dimensions or high wind loads lead to higher deflection and heterogeneous stress distribution in the joint.
Durability of structural sealant in cold bent glazing design
This presentation, given by Jon Kimberlain at Glass Performance Days 2019, examines the use of finite element analysis to indicate stress distribution in different cold bent glass designs.
