Great question - yes, our Alukap XR glazing bars are very popular for and designed for use with glass. As you say, use the same installation method but no tape needed. Our Securbond Sealant is neutral cure so compatible with most glass types but double check this with the glass supplier based on any glass coatings you have.
Thanks for asking, Waheed. We are using our Securbond Silicone, this is a premium-grade silicone that has been specially designed for use on polycarbonate sheet projects. It is important to use the right type of sealant when installing polycarbonate sheets because standard sealants will attack the surface of the plastic. clearambershop.com/collections/alukap-xr-glazing-bar-system/products/securbond-silicone-sealant
True! This video was shot several years ago so unfortunately before we manufactured a solution to combat the all the problems caused by standard sealants. We have since released our Securbond Silicone to improve waterproofing, the roofing sheet lifespan and the strength of the seal.
Is this the same method for double glazed glass? Does it need the tape to seal it?
