Glass And Curtain Wall

Glass And Curtain Wall

Sealant guns and vacuum lifters for crews who handle and seal glass all day

Glazing work needs two tools that rarely come from the same supplier: something to carry the panel safely, and something to lay a clean structural bead once it is in place. We make both, which is why a glazing distributor can cover the whole job from one packing list.

Industry pain points

What Goes Wrong In This Trade

A Lifter That Lets Go

Most suction cup failures trace back to a hardened rubber pad or a load figure read in the wrong orientation. Our cups publish horizontal and vertical suction separately, and use nitrile pads selected for heat and abrasion resistance rather than the cheapest compound that seals when new.

Structural Sealant That Will Not Move

Structural silicone is stiff, and a standard frame runs out of force before the pack is empty. The nine-bearing sausage guns and the patented self-locking models exist for exactly this: 250 KG push force on JS8634, 150 KG from a 405 g patented gun.

Beads That Drift Over A Shift

On a long facade joint an uneven bead is visible from the street. Anti-drip is standard across the sausage range, and the pneumatic JS8625 models hold a constant output set at the valve instead of at the operator's hand.

Cold-Weather Work

Sealant stiffens and cheap mechanisms slip. The JS8631 self-locking plunger was run at 0 C and at minus 25 C to confirm it still engages and releases.

What buyers need

What This Trade Actually Asks For

  • Both load orientations published for every lifter, so a cup can be specified honestly
  • Enough dispensing force for structural sealant without moving to a powered gun
  • Replaceable pads, push plates and rods, because glazing crews wear parts out
  • One supplier for lifters and guns, so a container mixes freely across both

Where Most Buyers In This Trade Start

How we work with you

From Enquiry To Repeat Order

Size The Lifter To The Panel

Give us panel weight, dimensions and whether it will be carried flat or upright. We come back with a model and the relevant rating, not with the bigger of the two numbers.

Match The Gun To The Sealant

Tell us the pack format and the product. Sausage or cartridge, and stiff or flowing, decides bearing count and drive ratio.

Sample Before The Order

Samples of the shortlisted models go out so the crew can judge trigger effort and pad grip before you commit to a quantity.

Brand And Pack

Barrel anodising, logo engraving or printing, and carton design are set once and repeated on every reorder.

Ship And Restock

Carton dimensions for every model are published, so you can plan a mixed container. Spares go in the same shipment.

Guides For This Trade

How To Read Caulking Gun Force Ratings

Push force, maximum tolerance and drive ratio describe three different things. Confusing them is the most common reason a gun fails in the field.

Cartridge Or Sausage Which Sealant Gun To Stock

Sausage packs cut cost per litre and packaging waste; cartridges are simpler and universally stocked. The right answer depends on who your customer is.

How Many Bearings Does A Sausage Gun Need

Bearing count is the single clearest indicator of duty level on a sausage gun. Three, seven and nine are genuinely different tools.

FAQ

Glass And Curtain Wall Questions

Can I mix suction cups and sealant guns in one container?

Yes, and most glazing distributors do. Carton dimensions and pieces per carton are published on every product page so you can calculate the load before you order.

Which gun do you recommend for structural silicone?

For sausage packs, JS8634 at 250 KG push force with nine bearings and a stainless steel push rod. For a lighter gun, JS8631-2 uses the patented self-locking plunger to reach 150 KG at 465 g.

How should we specify a suction cup for glass carried upright?

Use the vertical suction figure, not the horizontal one, and leave margin. JS8643 is 115 KG horizontal but 100 KG vertical; for a panel carried upright the 100 KG figure is the one that applies.

Do you supply replacement rubber pads?

Yes. Pads are the wearing part on every lifter and are stocked as spares. Tell us the models in your fleet and we will quote a pad allocation with the order.

Is your lifting equipment third-party certified?

The published ratings are our own. No third-party lifting certification is documented for these models. If your market requires certified lifting gear, raise it before ordering so we can confirm what is possible.
