When it comes to glass glazing, you want both a clean aesthetic and good structural integrity. Whether you are building a curtain wall or installing a glass railing, the right dispensing equipment is necessary to get these results.
While handheld applicators like cartridge guns may be able to get the job done, they can take a lot of time and effort. Instead, bulk dispensing systems for glazing applications can make the work easier, more efficient, and more consistent. The problem is knowing which silicone dispensing system is best for your glazing application.
