The headquarters building for the Tallahassee, Florida, Police Department
features a striking three-story glass block wall. Striking though it is, letting light
in while keeping water out has been a problem for the city.
Over the years the site manager tried a variety of approaches without complete
success. Working as a team, weathersealing experts from the Tallahassee office
of Dow Corning distributor Coastal Construction Products, Inc., and Tallahasseebased Rippee Construction designed an effective solution. Their recommendation
included the application of Dow Corning® 123 Silicone Seal to all mortar joints
between the glass blocks, and the use of Dow Corning® 791 Silicone Weatherproofing Sealant for all other joints in the glass block wall.
A solution that works.

“The building was completed in the late 1980s, and water intrusion through
and around the mortar joints and building control joints has been an ongoing
problem,” said Mike

Dallas landmark gets leak protection and facelift.
Built in 1913, the six-story brick and concrete Landmark Center was
renovated in 1980, but by 1996 it “leaked profusely,” according to Joseph
Solinski, president of Stone & Glazing Consulting, Inc., of Dallas, Texas.
Solinski isolated a number of problems, including improper window
flashing, failed urethane perimeter sealing and crumbling brick mortar.
He recommended a silicone solution.
April Building Services of Dallas resealed the windows and small mortar
cracks with Dow Corning® 795 Silicone Building Sealant and used Dow Corning®

The final touch was two coats of

Elastomeric Coating in a custom color
that matched the building’s previous paint. The silicone coating was just what the building needed
– an additional layer of durable, waterproof leak protection.
“It looks great, and we’ve been very pleased,” reports property manager Yvette Horvath, RPA.
