As of late, this system has gained popularity as viable replacement to the traditional silicone facade system. Glass is safely secured in place by virtue of a specialised clips inserted into the glazing slats called tougle both vertically and horizontally to the underlying profile structure. The grout between the glazing is then filled and sealed with silicone. This method was developed as a more economical alternative to the structural silicone system, as the costs associated with frames and bonding processes are hereby eliminated.

The glass is only visibly fastened to the external building structure with pressure strips on one axis only. The other remaining axis is fastened in accordance with project’s desired cladding profile with clips. Mostly, this system is used to lend to the structure either vertical or horizontal accents. Many capping alternatives are available to be used in these solutions; like almond shaped, box cut, classic caps, etc.

This system is different in that it involves the hanging of prefabricated (in a factory) glass panels onto special anchorage system directly attached to the concrete substructure of the building. in comparison to capped wall system, this method necessitates the employment of considerably fewer assembly staff and is usually completed in shorter time. However, the fabrication process does incur greater costs and prerequisite system details, as well as some limitations. generally some measure of custom design profiles are required for the implementation of this solution. This method is especially valued for larger scale projects with considerable time constraints. When decided upon at the project phase, the assembly of the superstructure can be synchronised with the erection of the concrete substructure. These panel systems also provide added seismic resilience.
