High Strength for The Shard

The Shard stands at 309.6 metres and is Western Europe's tallest building.
Fitting then, that HALCO should be involved with such an iconic building. 
It is often important from a structural and warranty aspect to ensure that buildings such as The Shard are not damaged or invalidated of their warranties by mechanically drilling into the structures.
The solution?  -  Very High Bond Tapes from HALCO. Recent installations in The Shard have been made possible with HALCO Very High Bond Tapes which are strong enough to replace rivets, screws, bolts and welds!  HALCO has supplied grey and transparent products for these projects and both tapes are manufactured with super-strength adhesive power for a permanent durable bond.
