GLAZING

McLaughlin has experience in both structural and non structural glazing.

Proper preparation is 90% of the job, and depending on the condition  there are different ways to address the preparation. As with joint  sealants, we take proper care in knowing and using the correct cleaning  agents for the type of sealant we will be applying.

To provide a neat sealant sight line, we mostly use masking tape to  reduce sealant smears. After application of the sealant, a bead tooling  is a crucial part to any re-glazing while our applicators look for any  signs of air pockets and/or voids.

For larger projects, we request that the manufacturer come on-site to conduct pull tests for record keeping.
