When you’re engineering structural silicone glazing (SSG) systems, precision isn’t optional—it’s fundamental. At Matrix Technology, we understand that maintaining structural integrity and visual performance starts with the right spacer tape—available when and where you need it.
That’s why we stock a full range of Saint-Gobain® Thermalbond® Structural Glazing Spacer Tapes—ready to support custom fabricators and curtain wall manufacturers who can’t afford downtime, design limitations, or field rework.
Why Spacer Tapes Are Essential to SSG System Performance
Structural spacer tapes do far more than just maintain a gap. In SSG assemblies, they:
- Establish the correct sealant depth to ensure long-term performance of structural silicones.
- Provide temporary but robust positioning of glazing panels until the silicone cures.
- Act as a critical bonding interface that balances mechanical loading and sealant curing conditions.
Saint-Gobain’s Thermalbond tapes—formerly Norton Tape—are the gold standard worldwide. They feature open-cell polyurethane foam that permits moisture transmission, enabling proper curing of one-part silicones—an advantage over outdated closed-cell options.
Built for Both Shop and Field Glazing
We stock both the V2100 Series (ideal for field applications with high compressive/shear loads) and the V2200 Series (optimized for shop fabrication). Available in multiple thicknesses from 3.2 mm to 12.7 mm, and in black or gray, these tapes can be tailored to your system’s structural and aesthetic requirements.
- V2100: High load-bearing, suitable for two- or four-sided systems, field- and shop-ready.
- V2200: More conformable, perfect for factory-controlled environments.
- Gray Options: Blends with aluminum finishes and other architectural elements.
All available in-stock from Matrix Technology, ready to match the specific geometry and engineering intent of your system.
Simplify Installations with Thermalbond Xpress®
Need even faster application? We also carry Thermalbond Xpress®, a single-coated, liner-less option that:
- Reduces waste and eliminates release liners.
- Bonds instantly—no rubber gaskets or aluminum raceways required.
- Maintains uniform spacing while simplifying installation logistics.
The self-wound acrylic adhesive enables clean, bubble-free installations, perfect for high-visibility curtain walls where visual consistency matters as much as structural performance.
Why Matrix Technology Stocks These Tapes—So You Don’t Have To Wait
By keeping the full range of Thermalbond spacer tapes in stock, Matrix Technology ensures:
- No project delays due to lead times or backorders
