Insulated Glass Window Spacer

At viracon insulating glass units are sealed with a primary seal and a secondary seal of silicone.

Insulated glass window spacer.

Polysulphide or silicone located below the spacer bar. Latter is additionally prevented by secondary sealant e g. An insulating glass spacer is placed within the unit to separate the two or more plies of glass. Viracon s insulating glass spacers are available in two colors three materials and a variety of thicknesses.

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. 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. When specifying an insulating glass unit it is necessary to specify all three.

The space between the two panes of glass is filled with air which provide insulation. Warm edge refers to the type of spacer material used to separate the panes of glass or glazing in an insulated window unit. 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. 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. 12 14 16 18 mm and to prevent the release of the inert gas argon krypton out of the cavities between glass panes. Color material and thickness. Inherently insulating glass increases a window s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss.
