Everything You Need To Know about Architectural Butyl Tapes

With architectural butyl tapes, you find a tape that instantly sticks to most surfaces. Designed for strong and immediate bonding, they offer an exceptional alternative to wet glazing and mechanical fasteners. These tapes are primarily used to bond architectural panels and windows into metal frames, removing the need for fasteners. Architectural butyl tapes are designed to be highly durable and are very easy to install. Builders and homeowners will appreciate how quickly they can repair with these tapes.

Quick Application

Architectural butyl tapes are double-sized acrylic tapes that bond to both surfaces. Rather than mixing, pumping, and applying conventional wet glazing or mechanical fasteners, fabricators can use the tape directly to the surfaces and complete the assembly. These tapes will speed up the assembly process by establishing immediate bonds without drying or fixturing. After applying the tape, you can handle the surfaces immediately, reducing the bottlenecks associated with wet glazing.

Ease of Use

As we have seen, architectural butyl tapes feature a simple installation process, making them convenient to use. Also, unlike other methods such as mechanical fasteners or wet glazing, architectural butyl tapes do not require specialized equipment to work, saving you a lot of hassle.

Remarkable Results

Architectural glazing tapes are UV resistant, perform over a wide temperature range, and resist environmental conditions over long periods. With high tensile and shear strength, these tapes can withstand temperatures up to 300 Fahrenheit short-term and 200 Fahrenheit long-term. These tapes will help quickly secure glass and other architectural panel materials directly to frames and canopy systems, making them the number one choice for architects and engineers worldwide.
