Spacer Tapes for Structural Silicone Glazing
High-Performance Structural Glazing Spacer Tapes are essential in curtain wall and façade construction, ensuring precise spacing between glass panels and metal frames before structural silicone is applied. Our Thermalbond® Spacer Tapes, formerly known as Norton Tapes, are trusted worldwide for over 40 years for their durability, performance, and reliability in structural silicone glazing (SSG) applications.
Why Choose Our Spacer Tapes?
- Industry-Leading Brand
Thermalbond Spacer Tapes are the global standard in structural glazing applications. Tested to ensure superior performance, our Spacer Tapes excel in load deformation performance and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), proving they are the ideal solution for structural silicone glazing applications and the right choice when your reputation is on the line.
- Open-Cell, Semi-Rigid PUR Foam
The open-cell structure allows air and moisture to reach the silicone sealant, ensuring optimal curing and long-term adhesion. This structure enables resistance to environmental influences, also enabling the longevity of structural silicone glazed systems in the field.
- Superior Adhesive Options
Available in single- or double-sided acrylic adhesive configurations for secure temporary bonding and easy installation. Double-sided adhesive configuration delivers secure temporary bonding, ensuring stability of the glazing components during the silicone curing cycle. Single-sided adhesive option is self-wound, with the matte black surface providing a smooth surface for glass positioning and visual aesthetics.
- Wide Range of Thicknesses & Colors
Choose from multiple thicknesses and black or gray finishes to meet your project’s aesthetic and structural needs.
- Tested for Performance
Engineered for excellent load deformation and low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), ensuring long-term durability in demanding environments. Spacer Tapes can withstand environmental stressors and perform under pressure, making them the ideal solution for structural silicone glazing applications.
Applications in iconic projects
Our spacer tapes have been used in some of the world’s most iconic architectural landmarks, including:
- World Trade Center Transportation Hub – New York City, USA
- Marina Bay Sands Resort – Singapore
- Burj Al Arab – Dubai, UAE
- Z Towers – Riga, Latvia

Dive-in deeper with our Structural Glazing Brochure
Silicone structural glazing has dramatically changed the face of architecture around the world. The strong and reliable bonding of the glass elements to the framing system of a building depends largely on the spacer tape used. Our spacer tapes have been the reference solutions for more than 40 years. They allow optimum curing of the silicone thanks to open-cell structure and very low load deformation.
