Warm edge refers to the type of spacer material used to separate the panes of glass or glazing in an insulated window unit.
Insulated glass window spacer.
These are most often used in residential window applications.
Insulating glass consists of two or more plies of glass enclosed by a spacer.
Spacers are a critical part of every window unit.
Polysulphide or silicone located below the spacer bar.
At viracon insulating glass units are sealed with a primary seal and a secondary seal of silicone.
An insulating glass spacer is placed within the unit to separate the two or more plies of glass.
The space between the two panes of glass is filled with air which provide insulation.
Latter is additionally prevented by secondary sealant e g.
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.
12 14 16 18 mm and to prevent the release of the inert gas argon krypton out of the cavities between glass panes.
Inherently insulating glass increases a window s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss.
Color material and thickness.
Insulated glass panels consist of two panes of tempered glass separated by a spacer.
When specifying an insulating glass unit it is necessary to specify all three.
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.
Viracon s insulating glass spacers are available in two colors three materials and a variety of thicknesses.
