Insulated Glass Window Spacer

12 14 16 18 mm and to prevent the release of the inert gas argon krypton out of the cavities between glass panes.

Insulated glass window spacer.

These are custom manufactured dual pane window units meant to replace existing windows in your home. Viracon s insulating glass spacers are available in two colors three materials and a variety of thicknesses. 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. The basic function of the spacer bar is to maintain a constant distance between the glass panes 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. 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. Insulated glass panels consist of two panes of tempered glass separated by a spacer.

Color material and thickness. When specifying an insulating glass unit it is necessary to specify all three. An insulating glass spacer is placed within the unit to separate the two or more plies of glass. Insulating glass consists of two or more plies of glass enclosed by a 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. These are most often used in residential window applications. At viracon insulating glass units are sealed with a primary seal and a secondary seal of silicone. The space between the two panes of glass is filled with air which provide insulation.
