Why do we say Nu-Glaze renders your glazing safer than with traditional products?
The design method ensures the Y- and X-axis spread of the silicone. The main purpose is to ensure proper sealing and adhesion. But, as an added bonus this feature make the removal of Nu-Glaze almost impossible without breaking the glass.
To gain access the Y-axis silicone between the Nu-Glaze profile and the frame, one needs access from inside the dwelling. This makes Nu-Glaze a champion fighter against easy break-ins.
