With the improvement of economic levels and the continuous progress and development of productivity, the aluminum veneer industry has gradually matured after more than 20 years of market cultivation and development. In recent years, aluminum veneer materials have been widely used in the interior and exterior decoration of more and more landmark buildings, large-scale projects, and high-end commercial residential buildings.

So, if we encounter gaps after the installation of aluminum veneer, how should we properly handle it to ultimately present it perfectly to the customer? Today, let me tell you what aspects to pay attention to when applying glue to the aluminum veneer curtain wall.

The application of invisible glue seams on aluminum veneer curtain walls poses a significant challenge, requiring a specialized ruler attached to the glue gun to ensure the thickness of the glue application. The steps are as follows:

After the installation of aluminum veneer curtain walls is completed, foam strips are generally required for filling. The selection of foam strips should be based on the size of the glue joint. Before filling, the foam rod should be cut open, with the cutting surface facing inward. The depth of foam strip filling must be consistent, and unevenness is strictly prohibited. During the installation of aluminum veneer, a guiding rule should be used for filling.

After filling with foam plastic strips, apply masking tape. When sticking the masking tape, ensure it is straight horizontally and vertically, and avoid twisting.

During the gluing process, the glue injection should be continuous and full, and the scraping should be even and smooth, avoiding the phenomenon of skipped cuts.

When injecting glue, the glue seam should be filled from bottom to top, ensuring even application. After injection, the surface of the glue seam should be scraped and pressed to achieve a smooth and clean finish, which can help overcome some bubbling issues.

Generally, when carrying out construction work in the morning, it is recommended to perform glue injection operations on the west or north side of the building. In the afternoon, operations should be conducted on the east or south side to avoid direct sunlight.

After applying the glue, it will take some time for the glue to cure, and the surface will form a crust. When exposed to sunlight, it will develop a certain level of resistance and will not exhibit any bubbles.

If construction is carried out during the hot summer months when temperatures are high, the surface temperature of aluminum veneer can reach 80℃ when exposed to direct sunlight, which can easily cause bubbles in the glue joints. Therefore, it is advisable to perform glue injection during the late afternoon or on cloudy days to prevent the occurrence of bubbles.

The above is about how to apply glue to aluminum veneer curtain walls and the precautions to take. This is just one small step in the process of aluminum veneer curtain walls, but the things that need attention cannot be ignored. It can be seen that the correct method of applying glue to aluminum veneer is also an important factor that can affect the integrity and aesthetics of aluminum veneer curtain walls.
