Foam tape spacers maintain a uniform distance between glazing cladding panels and frame for easy application and proper curing of silicone sealant in structural glazing
and curtainwall construction.
Thermalbond® architectural foam tape spacers are used in field and shop glazing to:• Maintain a uniform distance between cladding or glazing
panels and the frame.• Provide a continuous stop for silicone sealants used for
structural glazing and curtain wall construction.
