Insulated Glass Window Spacer

Polysulphide or silicone located below the spacer bar.

Insulated glass window spacer.

Latter is additionally prevented by secondary sealant e g. At viracon insulating glass units are sealed with a primary seal and a secondary seal of silicone. 12 14 16 18 mm and to prevent the release of the inert gas argon krypton out of the cavities between glass panes. When specifying an insulating glass unit it is necessary to specify all three.

Inherently insulating glass increases a window s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss. 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. These are most often used in residential window applications.

Viracon s insulating glass spacers are available in two colors three materials and a variety of thicknesses. Insulated glass panels consist of two panes of tempered glass separated by a spacer. Warm edge refers to the type of spacer material used to separate the panes of glass or glazing in an insulated window unit. These are custom manufactured dual pane window units meant to replace existing windows in your home.

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. 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.
