Stainless steel spacers www.fenzi-na.com Fenzi North America has added to its product base with the addition of the Chromatech and Chromatech Ultra stainless steel warm edge spacers. Manufactured by roll tech, a Fenzi owned company, these spacers are available with corner keys and connectors for those wishing to bend on bending equipment. With the everchanging need to meet more stringent energy codes, the Chromatech line of stainless spacers provide superior thermal performance to other spacers while meeting the need for better sightline temperatures: in excess of 17 per cent better for Chromatech and over 34 per cent for Chromatech Ultra when compared to traditional aluminum. Both Chromatech and Chromatech Ultra spacer’s are available in a wide range of air space widths. The Chromatech Ultra has a polycarbonate bridge across the top, available in traditional white, grey and black colours. Combined with our Fenzi hotver 2000 hot melt butyl, Fenzi thiover polysulphide, Fenzi Molver 3A desiccant, Fenzi butylver Pib and Alu Pro aluminum spacer profiles, Fenzi North America has the range to be a single source supplier for all IG component needs. Minimizes condensation www.viracon.com Viracon’s ExtremEdge warm edge spacer is designed to improve edge of glass U-value. ExtremEdge decreases thermal heat loss of windows, satisfying ever-more stringent energy codes and standards of sustainable design. To meet these requirements, the spacer is constructed with a biopolymer material and encapsulated in stainless steel. These materials reduce the edge’s conductivity and heat transfer into the building. In addition to improving U-values, ExtremEdge also results in a higher interior surface temperature than aluminum or stainless steel spacers when measured at the bottom edge of The glazing unit. The increased temperature improves relative humidity values, minimizing interior condensation. Spacers are placed between two or more lites of glass To provide an insulating glass unit. Viracon offers glass spacers in a variety of materials, finishes, and thicknesses. Mix of strength and esthetics www.quanex.com Quanex building Products’ super spacer triseal is a proven warm edge spacer system used globally to improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of buildings. Made from flexible, silicone foam, super spacer triseal features a unique triple-seal design that incorporates an inner acrylic adhesive seal for immediate unit handling, as well as a polyisobutylene primary seal for enhanced gas retention and low moisture vapour transmission. Customer-applied silicone seal provides proven structural performance. Quanex building Products has worked with glaziers, contractors, architects and Specifiers for more than a decade, supplying products and services created for the demands of the commercial market. With a dedicated team of commercial specialists, Quanex is helping manufacturers find the right mix of strength, performance and esthetics for commercial applications. Custom colours possible www.tgi-spacer.com tGI-spacer is a cold bendable warm edge spacer bar that offers the ultimate combination of thermal performance, high productivity, and value. TGI-spacer is a unique hybrid spacer system incorporating a high-performance polymer and low conductivity stainless steel to provide minimal heat transfer, and maximum protection against gas leakage and moisture penetration. Thermally efficient building envelopes of today and tomorrow are critical to energy management, and tGI-spacer’s drop-in solution meets or exceeds the toughest industry expectations in all climates. The tGIspacer is an advanced warm edge solution that meets all relevant quality and safety standards including AstM E 773, AstM E 2190, AstM E 2188, AstM E 2189 and AstM G 154. Technoform Glass Insulation does its best to fulfil all customers’ needs and welcomes all requests and customizations. TGI-spacer is currently available in a number of colours including black, white, light grey, champagne, bronze, and dark grey. Custom colours are also possible. TGI-spacer is available in 19 sizes from 1/4- to one-inch widths. Just-in-time production www.gedusa.com the Intercept i3 frame machine from Ged Integrated solutions is designed to reduce material costs and improve unit quality with one complete system. This technology achieves higher energy efficiency ratings and better warm-edge performance. The revolutionary i3 technology platform is even more flexible. It includes a 10-station material uncoiler with automatic width adjustment on all elements with computercontrolled production. It applies a proven U-channel design, with millions of Intercept IG units in windows today. The integrated software permits direct downloading of batch information and the one-piece Intercept spacer design accepts automatic muntin location punching through the integrated touch screen control station. The one-piece flow design provides 60-second changeover to improve flexibility and lean manufacturing. The i3 system is designed for accurate and consistent high quality throughput with no manual intervention and no manual width adjustment. IG systems produced by the Intercept system boast superior thermal performance, durability and strength. Fabricators can produce IG spacers just in time, in the order required, without operator errors. The system eliminates internal muntin grid wandering with precise notching and snapin Keys. Integrated components eliminate a separate control cabinet and reduce operator movement. One i3 machine will process multiple metal and sealant options, including dsE, or produce single-seal or dual-seal units. The automatic application of desiccated matrix material ensures maximum performance. Fabricators also appreciate the automatic gas hole punching for single or dual-hole filling and the simple graphical user interface screens that reduce operator errors. Dynamic drive www.bystronic-glass.com bystronic has introducesd the Flexspacertwinapplicator system solution for producing insulating glass with flexible spacers. The flexible spacer is applied directly on to the vertical glass plate. The dynamic drive guarantees an extremely high level of accuracy during this process. The system achieves synchronization of the frame production with the insulating production process. Fabricators can program a production sequence of rectangular or shaped formats as desired. Air cushion support walls provide noncontact Transportation of the glass plates. The Flexspacer-applicator includes storage for four spacer material reels and integrated air drying for the quick change of reels, even during operation. Bystronic also offers the Cornersealer for the secure sealing of corners via fixing with tape strips as well as additional butyl sealing. The Cornersealer processes t-spacers via the application of polyisobutylenes on the edge of the spacer on both sides.
