Insulated Glass Window Spacer

Polysulphide or silicone located below the spacer bar.

Insulated glass window spacer.

Insulated glass panels consist of two panes of tempered glass separated by a spacer. Viracon s insulating glass spacers are available in two colors three materials and a variety of thicknesses. 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.

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. 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. Spacers are a critical part of every window unit. These are custom manufactured dual pane window units meant to replace existing windows in your home.

Insulating glass consists of two or more plies of glass enclosed by a spacer. Color material and thickness. The basic function of the spacer bar is to maintain a constant distance between the glass panes e g. Latter is additionally prevented by secondary sealant e g.

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. 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.
