CHROMATECH Plus Spacer Bar
Chromatech Plus - Warm Edge for the Modern Window
Introduction
Considerably reduced cold-bridging in the IG-unit. Chromatech plus spacer bars provide all thermal advantages with the proven qualities of metallic spacers, 28 to 50% less heat loss in the edge area is the result of lower heat conductivity and reduced wall thickness.
The polycarbonate has the advantage that it can be bent in cold condition, and does not bend back again, in combination with the stainless steel back it gives excellent corners and straight sides on the frames.
Features
Prevents:
- Condensation on the IG-unit and the window rebate
- Fungus damage to the frame.
Compare:
- Heat conduction for stainless steel 15 W/m2K
- Heat conduction for aluminium 200 W/m2 K
Features:
- 1-2 deg C higher surface temperature on the glass
- Condensation minimized
- Damage on the frame prevented
- Reduced the heat loss
- Relevent to the most modern window design
- Minimal gas leakage and minimal moisture penetration.
