Timber has been a key part of creating living spaces for millennia. It is a material that breathes and responds to its environment, but inhospitable weather and swings in temperature can affect its composition. It requires sealants that will adjust to this transformation while also being able to provide a lasting bond.

Introducing Ramsauer

Their work goes back more than 150 years to the strenuous job of mining chalk from the Salzburg Alps and creating putty for glazing, which Ramsauer have developed step by step into a wide-ranging, tried-and-tested product range of 250+ products for sealing, bonding and assembling.

Products: Silicone-based sealants and adhesives

Paarhammer has been using Ramsauer sealants for over two decades, in particular the Sealant 120 for its high elasticity, many colour options, being 100% silicone, and high UV resistance.

Sealants used to assemble timber windows must meet the highest standards and demonstrate specific qualities. Moisture can lead to mould forming, for instance, and sun rays could create porous spots. The sealant also needs to be capable of withstanding mechanical forces and abrasion. When the right material is deftly applied, the result will be an attractive and functional seal that’s made to last.

The sealants should be compatible with the interlayers of IGUs.
The material should be easy to shape and smooth.
Non-corrosive sealants recommended.
The material should attach without priming.

High quality silicone, by itself, is very expensive, but only a tiny little amount of product is used to glaze a window. With Ramsauer, the risk of water ingress is reduced to almost zero.

Innovation

Overall, 100 employees work at Ramsauer to make more than 58,000 cartridges each day. With their own laboratory, they have been developing new products, reviewing customer requests and improving existing materials. All this is done with cutting-edge technology and equipment and working hand-in-hand with future-facing research institutes and partners.

Professional sealing

Paarhammer windows are factory glazed, except for very large items, which are glazed onsite. The sealant used is crucial for delivering a flawless appearance and long lifespan.
