What do warm edge spacers do?
A warm edge spacer is a type of spacer bar used in insulated glazing. It separates the panes of glass in double or triple glazing, or curtain walling and seals off the air cavity between each. Recent warm edge spacers are generally made from plastics, although stainless steel can meet the definition.
What is black warm edge spacer?
Warm edge spacer bars insulate the edges of a sealed unit and keep the panes of glass apart. When your home is warm in comparison to outside, heat escapes through the spacer, leaving the inside edge of the window colder than the rest of it. This then means you need more heating in order to warm up your home.
What Colour is a warm edge spacer bar?
Energy efficiency and extraordinary precision in the price Termoprofi Standard Warm Edge Spacer is available in a wide range of RAL colors (White 9016, Light gray 7035, Window gray 7040, Titanium gray 7000, Light brown 8003, Dark brown 8014, Black 9005) and size (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 mm).
What is a spacer in glass?
Window glass spacers or space bars are strips of plastics, metals or foams that separate, support and help seal in functional gasses that are injected between the panes of glass in a window. Spacers are bonded between glass panes with various sealing materials to help create an air-tight cavity.
What are super spacers?
Super Spacer® is an insulating and energy efficient glass system. The edge spacers of these windows are made of all-foam construction with zero metal, giving them low conductivity. No other window spacers on the market today can offer this claim! Super Spacer® is made of 100% polymer structural foam.
What is TGI spacer?
The TGI®-Spacer is made of a high performance synergy of stainless steel and polypropylene. The polypropylene has a very low coefficient of thermal conductivity, which allows to reduce the heat loss at the edges of the insulating glass unit. Stainless steel strengthens spacer and improves the tightness of the unit.
Is argon filled double glazing worth it?
Argon is the industry standard for filling double glazing because of its ratio of cost to impact. In our opinion, argon windows are definitely worth it. Despite being the least expensive of the gases available, including it in double glazing will significantly lower the U-Value of any window.
What is a thermal spacer bar?
Warm edge spacer bars insulate the edges of an energy efficient sealed unit. They keep the panes of glass apart and maintain the integrity of the air gap that insulates a building from heat loss through windows.
How thick is a double glazed unit?
Today’s standard double glazing units are generally 28mm in thickness with a configuration of 4-20-4mm, which represents, glass thickness, cavity depth and glass thickness. As standard, most double glazing should be supplied with argon cavity gas, at least 1 low-e coating and a warm edge spacer.
What is a window Super Spacer?
Super Spacer is a flexible, silicone foam spacer technology developed by Edgetech UK. Traditionally, insulating glass units used a metal double glazing spacer bar to separate the two panes of glass.
What is the purpose of low E glass?
Low-E coatings have been developed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted. When heat or light energy is absorbed by glass, it is either shifted away by moving air or re-radiated by the glass surface.
