Warm Edge Spacers

To prevent thermal loss caused by conventional aluminium spacers in insulating glass units, an ever increasing number of customers are demanding low-conductivity materials to separate panes of glass.

Warm edge spacer bar is a thermally efficient non metallic material and therefore has superior thermal properties over aluminium spacer bar giving an approximately 10% improvement in window Uw values according to EN ISO 10077.

Warm edge spacers improve thermal performance of windows, reduce condensation and, with the use of appropriate machinery, permit faster and easier assembling of insulating glass units.

DGS stock a number of warm edge products, Swisspacer, new Chromatech Ultra and Super Spacer

Duplex and Double Faced Spacer Bar Systems

The Product

Both of these systems are designed to create the illusion of individual double glazed units where the manufacturer wants to add a profile to the outside of the glass to create a traditional Georgian effect window.

For the duplex key system normal spacer bar is used whereas the double faced system uses a specific double faced bar.

Window Energy Rating - The Future of Energy Efficient Windows

Compulsory 'C' rating or above is due to come into force in UK Building Regulations in October 2010.

More information

Stop Press: On the 13 January 2010, the Energy Saving Trust announced their intention to change the requirements for their accreditation of windows from a 'C' rating to a stricter 'B' rating. From 1st August 2010, all manufacturers of glazing will begin product re-registration with the Scheme. This process will take two months and from 1st October 2010, only products meeting the new criteria will be endorsed by the scheme. Tell me more
