Silicone extrusions have become essential in modern construction, providing robust and adaptable sealing solutions for a wide variety of applications. As a leader in silicone extrusion technology, Jehbco Silicones manufactures customised profiles tailored precisely to your project’s requirements, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. 

Why Choose Silicone? 

Silicone rubber offers distinct advantages, making it ideally suited for construction applications. It maintains elasticity and dimensional stability across extreme temperatures ranging from -50°C to 250°C. Its excellent resistance to weathering, UV rays, ozone, and moisture ensures long-term durability and minimal degradation, even after prolonged outdoor exposure. Additionally, silicone is chemically inert, waterproof, and can be customised to almost any colour, offering both aesthetic and functional versatility. 

Expansion Joint Seals – Quickjoint by Jehbsil 

One of Jehbco’s flagship silicone extrusion products is Quickjoint by Jehbsil, specifically engineered for sealing expansion joints. Expansion joints are critical in construction, accommodating thermal expansion, building movement, and vibrations. Quickjoint provides a durable, flexible seal that maintains waterproof integrity through continuous movement cycles. 

Unlike traditional wet-sealants requiring messy application and curing time, Quickjoint offers a pre-cured, ready-to-install solution. It delivers numerous advantages: 

  • Superior finish: Consistent, clean aesthetics with factory-controlled precision. 
  • Efficient installation: No need for specialised caulking skills or tools, significantly reducing labour time and costs. 
  • All-weather installation: Suitable even in adverse weather conditions, preventing project delays. 
  • Fully customisable: Tailored to specific joint dimensions and colour-matched to facade materials. 

Quickjoint is ideal for sealing joints in facades, curtain walls, parking structures, precast concrete panels, and other architectural elements. Its long-term reliability means less maintenance and lower lifecycle costs. 

Window and Glazing Seals 

Jehbco’s silicone extrusions are extensively used as window and glazing seals, ensuring buildings remain energy-efficient and weather-tight. Silicone profiles outperform traditional sealing materials such as EPDM, providing excellent flexibility, temperature resilience, and UV resistance. 

Silicone glazing seals maintain their integrity through harsh environmental conditions, resisting cracking, hardening, or shrinkage over time. This consistent performance enhances energy efficiency by reducing drafts and moisture ingress. 

With Jehbco’s advanced extrusion capabilities, seals can be customised to fit intricate window designs or specialised glazing systems. These bespoke solutions help architects achieve unique architectural visions without compromising on sealing effectiveness or durability. 

Roofing Seals 

Roofing applications expose sealing materials to some of the harshest environments in construction. Silicone extrusions from Jehbco excel in roofing scenarios due to their unmatched resistance to UV exposure, weathering, and extreme temperature fluctuations. 

Jehbco’s silicone roofing seals effectively waterproof and weatherproof critical junctions, penetrations, skylights, and parapets. Unlike bituminous or tape-based alternatives, silicone maintains flexibility and adhesion over decades, dramatically reducing the need for ongoing maintenance. 

Custom silicone roofing profiles can be designed to fit complex geometries, simplifying installation and ensuring consistent, leak-free performance. Jehbco’s bespoke roofing seals thus provide a long-term, reliable solution for protecting building envelopes from water intrusion and weather damage. 

Custom Silicone Profiles Tailored to Your Needs 

Beyond standard sealing solutions, Jehbco Silicones specialises in the manufacture of custom extrusions designed specifically for unique project requirements. Our experienced engineering team collaborates closely with customers to develop silicone profiles that precisely meet the dimensions, performance characteristics, and aesthetics demanded by each individual application. 

Whether your project requires bespoke sealing for complex facade designs, customised vibration dampening pads, or special weatherproofing solutions, Jehbco can rapidly prototype and produce silicone extrusions to exact specifications. Silicone’s inherent versatility in hardness, density, colour, and chemical composition ensures that Jehbco’s extrusions can meet virtually any construction challenge.
