Product Description
The Rubber Company can provide an extensive range of rubber glazing seals, weather seals as well as fixing profiles for a number of applications. Our façade rubber seals are suitable for use in a wide range of applications and environments. We have a wide selection of façade seals available as standard, with quick lead times. We can also manufacture bespoke gaskets, seals and pads to match your exact requirements, subject to minimum order quantities.
Our façade rubber seals are suitable for the construction of modern buildings as well as the restoration of old buildings. Many existing structures which were constructed in the 70’s and 80’s may have been fitted with older style façade seals. These older seals may have been manufactured with materials or profiles which have been superseded by newer, more efficient profiles. In many cases the older seals are well past their useful service life. This can greatly reduce the efficiency of the seal while also compromising on the safety of the structure. Since the production of façade seals began there have been many advancements in materials and manufacturing capabilities. Our new façade seals can provide far superior energy efficiency as well as a longer service life.
We regularly work directly with architects, building owners, developers and engineers from across the globe. Our dedicated team can work directly with you from the initial design process through to bulk manufacturing. This ensures that our façade rubber seals perfectly suit the structure and panels.
Common Uses
Glazing and Façade Restoration
Our EPDM and Silicone profiles provide a more efficient and sustainable glazing sealing solution. Over time old seals can deteriorate, which decreases their sealing capabilities. This can reduce the insulating properties of the seal and allow more warm air to escape from the building. We can manufacture high-quality, and bespoke seals to fit your current set-up perfectly with far superior durability and insulation properties. This not only helps to reduce heating costs going forward but also helps to create a more environmentally friendly society.
Curtain Wall Solutions
Our range of extruded glazing seals, gaskets and setting bocks are ideal for a variety of curtain wall systems. The high-quality compounds we use provide excellent durability as well as temperature and weathering resistance. Using Silicone, we can also manufacture in a wide selection of colours including translucent. This ensures that our seals are able to remain hidden from sight, or blend in with your branding.
Store Fronts and Entrance Systems
Store fronts and entrances serve a crucial function in not only security but also the appearance of a business or building. We can work directly with designers, engineers and architects to create an extruded seal or gasket to suit any requirement.
Common Façade Seal Materials
EPDM
EPDM is often the first-choice material for use in façade seal systems due to its excellent weathering resistance. It also combines good mechanical properties with high rates of elongation and flexibility. This enables our EPDM glazing seals to function in a wide variety of applications and environments.
Silicone
Silicone is widely known for its superb high temperature resistance as well as being incredibly stable. This makes it the ideal choice for use in highly specialised applications. It also available in a wide selection of colours as well as FDA standard grades.
Despite EPDM and silicone being the most common façade seal materials we understand that they might not suit your application. We can manufacture from virtually any compound from rubber to thermoplastic elastomers in order to match your unique requirements. Don’t hesitate to get in contact with us for more information regarding our façade seals.
