SikatTack Adhesive fix for concrete panel interior

A Sika product story
Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jul 2, 2009

SikaTack Panel Adhesive has provided a method of installing the concrete panels in an office interior designed by architect Buckley Gray Yeoman.

The concrete panels, originally designed for exterior application, have been used to create a striking backdrop in the reception area of an office on London's bustling Charlotte Street..

To avoid any piercing of the panels and unsightly fixings, SikaTack Panel Adhesive has provided a solution to seamlessly installing the panels.

As part of the office's complete refurbishment, the high performance [fibre C], glass fibre reinforced concrete cladding from Cladding Solutions was chosen.

The mix of black and metallic grey cladding panels was installed using SikaTack Panel Adhesive from the leader in specialist construction materials, Sika.

The secret fix is virtually invisible as it doesn't require a single unsightly nut or bolt.

Therefore, once installed by specialist contractor KPI, the finished cladding finish was seamless, where using traditional cladding methods would have left a series of visible fixtures.

A mechanical secret fix may have solved this issue, but the additional materials required would have boosted the costs and also could have also damaged the internal walls.

Sika solved all of these problems.

Its innovative SikaTack Panel Adhesive utilises elastic bonding technology to secure heavy cladding panels to the internal walls.

The use of SikaTack Panel Adhesive provided valuable en-vironmental points.

The fibreC cladding panels held their own green qualities, further boosting the use of sustainable materials.

Rigorously tried and tested to extreme conditions and back, the SikaTack Panel Adhesive system has been officially proven to perform without any reduction in performance.
