Modern construction is a perfect blend of engineering and aesthetics. This includes profiles, seals, gaskets, and expansion elements. At Shree Rubber Works, we bring decades of expertise to deliver solutions. We do this by collaborating with architects, engineers, and builders.
For every project, we maintain stringent quality standards. We also follow material certifications such as EN 45545-2, HL 2, and HL 3 for our rubber extrusion products. Meaning, our rubber products meet international safety and performance benchmarks.
Why Rubber Matters in Construction
Rubber, especially engineered compounds, offers a suite of properties. In construction settings, rubber is used in:
- Seals and gaskets for doors and windows
- Expansion joints in walls, floors, bridges, and piping
- Edge trims, weather strips, and glazing profiles
- Vibration-absorbing mounts for mechanical and HVAC systems
- Protective covers and shielding in structural elements
By combining intelligent design and compound selection, rubber extrusions become more than passive parts. They actively safeguard structure’s performance over decades.
The Rubber Extrusion Process
Rubber extrusion is the process of forcing uncured rubber compounds through a die. This creates a continuous profile with a fixed cross-sectional shape. It’s a highly effective process, crucial for construction.
Here’s a high-level walkthrough:
- Compounding & mix design
- Feeding & heating
- Extrusion through a die
- Curing/vulcanization
- Post-treatment & finishing
This method is not only efficient but also produces minimal waste.
What Sets Shree Rubber Works Apart
When clients choose Shree Rubber Works for construction-grade rubber extrusions, they benefit from:
- Custom tooling & design support
We partner early in the project to convert architectural and engineering specs into manufacturable profiles, ensuring optimal seal pressure, tolerances, and material usage. - Compound engineering expertise
Our team formulates elastomer mixes tuned to your environment—UV, ozone, chemicals, temperature extremes. - Quality controls & testing
We perform dimensional checks, compression-set measurements, aging tests, and functional trials to deliver reliable parts. - Scalable production & prompt delivery
For a project that needs hundreds of meters or tens of thousands, our extrusion lines are optimized for volume. - Sustainability focus
Long service life reduces replacement needs; scrap from the extrusion process can often be reclaimed or reused in some contexts.

Applications in Construction
Advances in rubber extrusion technology in the construction industry demonstrate the latest developments and applications. Let’s look at a few key use-cases where rubber extrusions are indispensable:
1. Expansion Joints & Movement Seals
Buildings expand and contract due to temperature, wind loads, and even seismic shifts. Rubber expansion profiles absorb this motion while maintaining a tight seal. Without them, rigid materials might crack or leak.
2. Window & Door Seals
Rubber seals fill the gaps between window/door frames and sashes. This prevents drafts, water ingress, and energy loss. These profiles must compress reliably, maintain sealing force, and resist UV aging.
3. Facade & Cladding Trim
Edge trims, sightline covers, bubble seals, and profile transitions provide both aesthetic and functional sealing. These extrusions integrate with aluminum or glass systems to bridge small gaps or cover joints.
4. Vibration Dampers & Mounts
Mechanical systems (chillers, HVAC, pumps) can transmit vibration into the structure. Rubber mounts, pads, or extruded profiles decouple and dampen vibrations.
5. Protective Guards
To prevent wear or damage, extruded rubber is sometimes used to shield sharp edges.
Trends in Rubber Extrusion for Construction
Innovation is pushing rubber extrusions into new frontiers:
- Co-extrusion
- Integration with sensors or smart building systems
- Use of thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) in some façade seals
- Advanced simulation for stress, swell, and lifetime prediction
