Curtain-wall glazing at the Oakridge development, Vancouver
Glazing tape

Cut to your spec.

Structural glazing tape, spacer tape and double-sided foam tapes, slit in-house to the exact width your line runs, in the thicknesses we stock. If we do not carry your width, we cut it.

Our foundation

Cascade Aqua-Tech was built on glazing tape.

It was the very first thing we supplied, slit by hand out of a garage in 1987, and it is still the craft at the centre of everything we do. Six branches later, the glaziers and window shops who started with us are still the people we cut for.

Slit in-house since 1987

We cut glazing tape to the size your line runs.

We slit master logs on our own equipment, so custom widths are never a problem, we cut to the width your line runs. Each tape comes in the thicknesses we stock for that line, matched to the joint and substrate.
