Insulated Glass Window Spacer

The space between the two panes of glass is filled with air which provide insulation.

Insulated glass window spacer.

Insulating glass consists of two or more plies of glass enclosed by a spacer. They separate the panes of glass providing the insulating glass unit within the window with structural integrity along with a thermal and moisture seal that enhances the window s thermal performance. Warm edge refers to the type of spacer material used to separate the panes of glass or glazing in an insulated window unit. Color material and thickness.

Latter is additionally prevented by secondary sealant e g. These are custom manufactured dual pane window units meant to replace existing windows in your home. An insulating glass spacer is placed within the unit to separate the two or more plies of glass. Viracon s insulating glass spacers are available in two colors three materials and a variety of thicknesses.

Inherently insulating glass increases a window s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss. If the material conducts less heat or cold than a conventional aluminum spacer at the edge of the glass it is said to be warm edge most of these newer spacers are less conductive and outperform pure aluminum. When specifying an insulating glass unit it is necessary to specify all three. These are most often used in residential window applications.

Insulated glass panels consist of two panes of tempered glass separated by a spacer. 12 14 16 18 mm and to prevent the release of the inert gas argon krypton out of the cavities between glass panes. Polysulphide or silicone located below the spacer bar. Insulating units are designed to absorb stress on the unit caused by thermal expansion and pressure provide a barrier to water and moisture infiltration provide a gas tight seal to prevent loss of any specialty.
