Tape Solutions for Sealing Glass into Frame Systems
With increased use of glass in modern buildings, the need for safe, resistant and easy to install glass systems is increasing. Our PVC foam glazing tapes ensure high tensile strength and are designed to withstand weathering and oxidation over time. The combination of proven water sealing performance, good conformability and high bond strength make these tapes the ideal choice for larger commercial lites and modest high-rise buildings to ensure thermal cycle and wind load protection.
Double-Sided Adhesive Glazing Tape
Norseal® V980 and V990 closed-cell foam tapes with high-performance adhesive on both sides are ideal for sealing glass into framing systems. For 40+ years, Norseal Foam Tape has offered proven performance in the window glazing market, making it the preferred choice in a variety of glazing applications. Both V980 (with paper release liner) and V990 (with film release liner) exceed AAMA 810.1 requirements for residential and commercial glazing needs. The PVC foam core accommodates moderate joint movement for larger commercial lites and modest high-rise buildings due to thermal cycling and wind loads. The closed-cell elastomer structure ensures an effective water seal while the pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive has outstanding bond strength to glass, wood, aluminum and vinyl surfaces.
Single-Side Adhesive Glazing Tape
Norseal V740 and V780 are closed-cell foam tapes with pressure sensitive adhesive on one side. Designed for interior glazing, these tapes are also a good fit when the system requires the need for repositioning of the glass lite. V740 is positioned as the general construction grade foam tape while V780 has enhanced UV resistance for improved weathering.
