Insulated Glass Window 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.

Insulated glass window spacer.

Latter is additionally prevented by secondary sealant e g. Inherently insulating glass increases a window s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss. At viracon insulating glass units are sealed with a primary seal and a secondary seal of silicone. Insulated glass panels consist of two panes of tempered glass separated by a spacer.

Viracon s insulating glass spacers are available in two colors three materials and a variety of thicknesses. The space between the two panes of glass is filled with air which provide insulation. The basic function of the spacer bar is to maintain a constant distance between the glass panes e g. These are most often used in residential window applications.

An insulating glass spacer is placed within the unit to separate the two or more plies of glass. 12 14 16 18 mm and to prevent the release of the inert gas argon krypton out of the cavities between glass panes. Insulating glass consists of two or more plies of glass enclosed by a spacer. Spacers are a critical part of every window unit.

These are custom manufactured dual pane window units meant to replace existing windows in your home. Warm edge refers to the type of spacer material used to separate the panes of glass or glazing in an insulated window unit. 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. Polysulphide or silicone located below the spacer bar.
