CRL GT106 Black 1/16" x 1/2" Butyl Glazing Tape

CRL GT106 Black 1/16" x 1/2" Butyl Glazing Tape

C.R. Laurence GT106 Black 1/16" x 1/2" Butyl Architectural Glazing Tape is engineered for superior performance in glazing applications. This extruded, preformed tape features a robust butyl rubber formulation that is both age and weather resistant, ensuring a durable seal against the elements. With a 100% solids content, it meets stringent AAMA certification standards, making it an ideal choice for architects and builders seeking reliability. Designed for exterior primary spacing and glazing seals, the GT106 tape accommodates the normal expansion and contraction of materials, providing a flexible and long-lasting solution. Its thickness allows for approximately 10% compression during installation, ensuring optimal adhesion between surfaces such as metal, wood, and glass. This tape operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°F to 190°F, making it suitable for various climates. With a service life of 20 years or more, the GT106 tape is not only practical but also economical. It is available in both gray and black, allowing for aesthetic versatility. For best results, surfaces must be clean and dry prior to application, and proper glazing practices should be followed to achieve a reliable seal. Choose C.R. Laurence GT106 to elevate your glazing projects with confidence.

Black 1/16" x 1/2" Butyl Architectural Glazing Tape

• Age and Weather Resistant Butyl Rubber Formula
• 100% Solids Content
• Meets AAMA Certification
• Used as an Exterior Primary Spacing and Glazing Seal
• Available in Gray and Black

CRL Butyl Architectural Glazing Tape is an extruded, preformed tape furnished on release paper rolls. Based on a butyl rubber formulation with proven age and weather resistant properties, it is designed to create a long lasting, flexible weather seal between two surfaces that will be subjected to normal expansion/contraction and wind loading forces. It is used as an exterior primary spacing and glazing seal when glazing glass into a window sash; also used to seal other architectural surfaces such as metal to metal joints, wood to glass, metal to plastic, etc. The thickness is designed to be compressed approximately 10 percent at installation to accommodate surface alignments.

Good Glazing Practices
The following "Good Glazing Practices" are recommended when using CRL Glazing Tapes. Surfaces to be adhered should be free of frost or standing water, brushed clean, solvent washed (MEK, Toluene or Naptha) and wiped dry. At installation, positive contact and approximately 10 percent compression is recommended to fully marry surfaces to be joined. Glazing tapes kept under compression with clips or wedges provide the best seals.

Always use setting blocks (80 durometer Shore "A" hardness) placed at the sill quarter points. Spacing shims are recommended to accommodate wind loading when glass lite is over 100" (50 durometer Shore "A" hardness). Tape placement on the sill rabbet is not to be below the sight line unless a cap bead is specified, then tape is placed 3/16" (4.8 mm) below the sight line to allow for the cap bead. Do not overlap tape to join; always butt ends without stretching. To keep the tape surface clean, leave the release paper in place until ready-to-set the glass.


Product Warning:

Limitations: For applications above two floors use a spacer, shim, or a structural cap bead (such as silicone) to prevent over compression or use CRL 100+ Load Bearing Glazing Tape.
