LORD and Architectural Cladding
Since its inception, LORD has been dedicated to reconfiguring and reimagining everything about the adhesives industry. Today, the industry is booming and LORD is constantly designing and producing more and more adhesive breakthroughs in order to accelerate and improve their customers’ experiences.
LORD has patented a two-component adhesive, Signlok™ 810, which is designed for bonding metals such as aluminum, ACM, galvanized steel, and CRS with engineered plastics. This revolutionary adhesive delivers blazing fast cure speeds and exceedingly strong bonds with minimal bondline read-through.
Signlok™ 810 is ideal for bonding extremely thin substrates seamlessly, making it an ideal adhesive for architectural cladding and billboard adhesion. Its durable, non-sag application and environmentally-resistant qualities mean you’ll experience resilient, boundless quality for years to come.
What is Architectural Cladding?
Architectural cladding is the application of one material over another to create a “skin” or layer. Cladding often provides thermal insulation and weather resistance to extend the life of the structure and improve the overall building appearance.
LORD’s structural adhesives can help any architectural cladding project stand the test of time. With increased resiliency and convenient application times, every building can benefit from LORD’s structural adhesives.
Stiffener to Panel Bonding
LORD’s structural adhesives are applied to building panels to provide extra support and rigidity. These adhesives are ideal as an alternative to traditional fastening methods and can eliminate the scarring from welding and removing worn-out mechanical fasteners. This reduces labor time and material costs as well – it’s a win-win!
Panel to Frame Bonding
LORD’s structural adhesives can join decorative or load-bearing metal and composite panels to a rigid frame without the need for mechanical fasteners. These adhesives can compensate for dimensional irregularities by filling the gaps between poorly fitting parts and distributing stresses evenly across the bondline.
Bracket to Panel Bonding
Brackets bonded with LORD structural adhesives are able to withstand higher peel strength without read-through. Compared to traditional fastening methods, LORD products eliminate time and labor costs associated with metal preparation and finishing operations.
Butt Stripe for Panel Bonding
Using LORD structural adhesives when bonding two panels together with a butt stripe helps to improve the overall aesthetic appeal, increase durability, and prevent galvanic corrosion of the panels by forming a continuous, unbroken seal between the dissimilar substrates.
For over 100 years, LORD has created a trusted name through hard work and superior product reliability. Let our representatives help you find which product is perfect for you! Give us a call, toll-free, at 1-800-220-1966 or send us an email at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you!
