The performance of gaskets in window and cladding systems - a state of the art review - as PDF only Description This report remains the most authorative single document on glazing gaskets. It covers all of the common gasket materials and all of the different gasket types. The report is a review of current issues and technology relating to the design and performance of gaskets in window and cladding systems. It is based on a review all aspects of gasket performance and use, including formal interviews and informal discussions with gasket producers and users. It includes a survey of existing literature and the results of a simple experimental study in to the mechanical behaviour of some typical gaskets.
