Building Systems
Silicone & Hybrid Solutions for Construction and Building Systems
Buildings stand strong or crumble at their seams. Every window, joint, panel, and transition is a spot where water, air, and energy can seep in, and the material sealing it must flex, bond, and weather for the life of the structure. From a single retrofit window to the full facade of a commercial high rise, contractors and manufacturers need products engineered to perform across every layer of the building.
Novagard designs and manufactures silicone sealants, adhesives, barriers, and flashing in the USA for high performance applications across demanding and fast evolving construction markets. Our products are permanently flexible, solvent free, UV resistant, VOC compliant in all 50 states, and adhere to most building substrates without primers. With over 40 years of silicone expertise and color matching to major window, siding, and panel manufacturers, we ensure projects stay protected, energy efficient, and built to last.
Silicones and hybrid sealants reliably seal, bond, flash, glaze, and weatherproof across the entire building, including:
- Windows and doors
- Curtain wall and structural glazing
- Exterior wall sheathing and facades
- Metal roofing and wall panels
- Siding, trim, and gutters
- Rough openings and perimeter joints
- Expansion and control joints
- Pool, spa, and RV assemblies
Applications Across Building and Construction
Air & Water Barrier Coatings: Liquid applied air and water barriers and flashing form a continuous, breathable line of defense across the wall assembly. NovaBarrier AWB1000 and LF1000 seal exterior sheathing, rough openings, joints, and transitions, bond and cure on damp substrates, and are easily applied in one coat.
Residential Installation: On retrofit, replacement, and new construction jobs, crews need sealants that gun easily in any temperature and adhere to most substrates without a primer. NovaFlex Pro and NovaBond Pro seal perimeter joints around windows and doors, and are available in many major siding, trim coil, and frame manufacturer colors for a consistent finished look. Metal roofing, wall panels, and gutters face constant thermal movement, UV exposure, and standing water. Nova flex Pro, Gutter Plus, Gutter Sealant, and Metal Roof Repair and Patch Mastic seal laps, fasteners, seams, and repairs.
Commercial Installation: Across general construction, silicones seal expansion and control joints, fill voids and cavities, and bond dissimilar materials. Permanently flexible, solvent free, and VOC compliant in all 50 states, they hold up to building movement and weather without cracking, shrinking, or losing adhesion.
OEM – Insulating Glass Sealants: When manufacturing energy efficient windows, high performance adhesives function as a dual barrier system to block moisture while offering structural stability and weather protection. Insulating Glass (IG) silicone sealants from Novagard can be applied manually for large custom windows or on an automated production line.
OEM – Residential Glazing: OEM window and door fabrication demands sealants that meet or surpass industry standards for adhesion, clarity, and low migration. Our glazing line, including Qwik-Set Low Migration, Ultra-Low High Impact, and Ultra-Low Migration glazing sealants, bonds and seals glass to the frame with no incompatibility concerns to secondary seal or adjacent surfaces.
OEM – Structural Glazing: Since the sealant is entirely exposed to the elements over decades, silicones are the ideal advanced material for structural glazing. They do not degrade, crack, or lose adhesion, offer high tensile strength, and are capable of stretching and rebounding as the glass expands and contracts when temperatures soar or plummet.
Pool, Spa & RV: Wet, high traffic environments call for sealants and lubricants that resist water, chemicals, and constant wear. NSF rated silicone lubricants, tile adhesives and grouts, and joint sealants keep pools, spas, and RV assemblies watertight, sanitary, and serviceable over years of exposure.
