H.B. Fuller Façade Sealing Solutions
Ensure Long-Lasting Protection with our Adhesive, Sealant & Tape Solutions
A building’s façade—including its windows, doors, cladding, walls and architectural details—plays a critical role in both aesthetics and performance. Beyond defining the visual character of a structure, the façade serves as a first line of defense against weather, moisture and energy loss, making it essential to a building’s overall durability and sustainability.
Effective façade sealing is key to ensuring long term protection, structural integrity and visual appeal. By integrating the right adhesives, sealants and tapes into façade construction, you can significantly enhance weatherproofing, energy efficiency and the long-term resilience of the building envelope.
At H.B. Fuller, we deliver a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance solutions engineered specifically for façade applications. Our adhesives, sealants and tapes are formulated to withstand environmental stress, accommodate joint movement and provide lasting resistance to aging and moisture.
Building Joint Sealing
Weatherproof joint sealing for lasting building performance
The external joints are where a building is at its weakest. Façades face constant exposure to elements like UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, moisture, and wind pressure, which can cause movement and degradation over time. Effectively sealing building joints ensures flexibility, weatherproofing, and durability. Our range includes adhesives, sealants, and sealing tapes that create airtight barriers at critical points on the façade, maintain thermal and acoustic performance, accommodate movement, and enhance facade aesthetics. Key products in the range include butyl tapes, Eternabond tapes and FulaFlex sealants.
Building Service Penetration Sealing
Waterproof protection around utility penetrations
Our sealants are used to create waterproof barriers at penetrations in the façade, including those for fiber optic cable network systems, water pipes, gas pipes and other utilities. This helps protect against water infiltration, which can lead to mold and structural damage.
Membrane Sealing
Reliable sealing for airtight and watertight membrane joints
Our adhesives, sealants and tapes can be used for joining and sealing damp proof membranes and vapor control layers. Our products provide an excellent barrier to water and air, making them perfect for use on lap joints on most membranes. Our range is easy to apply, making it the perfect choice for sealing membrane joints on site.
Passive Fire Protection
Proven sealants for preventing the spread of flames & smoke
We have a range of sealants specifically designed for preventing the spread of flames and smoke through joints and openings. Our sealants intumesce from heat, creating resistance to smoke and fire around windows, doors, building penetrations, structural joints, and expansion joints. This helps ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and provides peace of mind for both occupants and building owners by improving overall safety.
Structural Glazing
High‑strength adhesives for sleek, seamless glass façades
Structural glazing is a modern architectural technique where glass is bonded to a building's structural framing using high-strength adhesives. This method eliminates the need for conventional mechanical fasteners, creating a sleek, continuous glass façade that enhances aesthetic appeal, maximizes natural light, and offers improved thermal insulation and weatherproofing. Commonly used in high-rise buildings and commercial projects, structural glazing provides a clean, modern look while maintaining the building's structural integrity and safety. Our adhesives are widely used in structural glazing systems, providing durability and flexibility that can accommodate building movement.
Window and Door Flashing and Sealing
Weatherproof performance around every window and door
Our adhesives and sealants have been developed for bonding EPDM and other membranes around window and door frame perimeters to create a weatherproof and durable barrier. Our products help seal the joints, creating a tight seal that prevents water, air, and moisture infiltration into the building. This contributes to energy efficiency and overall comfort.
