Structural Glazing
Structural glazing is a flush glass facade where the glass is bonded with structural silicone to a concealed aluminium carrier frame, leaving only a fine silicone joint outside. Fenza fabricates two-side and four-side SSG systems in-house for clean, frameless-looking commercial elevations.
Flush glazed facades where the glass is bonded to a concealed aluminium carrier frame, leaving only a fine silicone joint on the outside. Two-side and four-side systems, with the back-up framing fabricated in-house.
Variants
- 2-side SSG
- 4-side SSG

About structural glazing
- What is structural glazing?
- Structural glazing bonds glass panes to a hidden aluminium frame with structural silicone, so the outside face reads as an unbroken glass plane with only thin silicone joints between panels — with no visible aluminium caps.
- What is the difference between 2-side and 4-side structural glazing?
- In 2-side SSG, two edges of each glass unit are silicone-bonded and two are mechanically captured; in 4-side SSG all four edges are bonded, giving a fully flush, capless appearance.
