A major concern of the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin’s new professional office building was to have weatherproofing materials that would provide optimal performance for the life expectancy of the building while also maintaining an aesthetic appeal that would be inviting for children and their families.

Lurie Glass turned to Tremco Commercial Sealants & Waterproofing for a building envelope solution that would ensure absolute compatibility and an airtight environment. Lurie Glass assembled and glazed the unitized window and panels in their facility utilizing Proglaze II silicone sealant. Four soothing custom colors of Spectrem 1 silicone sealant were used to match the frames, panels and masonry (Violet Stone, Lapis Blue, Summer Basket Green, and Geographic Beige). Spectrem 2 was used on miscellaneous shop and field glazing. An extruded seven-inch translucent silicone sheet was used to bridge between the unitized window assemblies and the “peel and stick” air barrier system.
