12 14 16 18 mm and to prevent the release of the inert gas argon krypton out of the cavities between glass panes. Polysulphide or silicone located below the spacer bar. 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.

Inherently insulating glass increases a window s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss. 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. When specifying an insulating glass unit it is necessary to specify all three.

Spacers are a critical part of every window unit. Insulated glass panels consist of two panes of tempered glass separated by a 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.

Insulating glass consists of two or more plies of glass enclosed by a spacer. An insulating glass spacer is placed within the unit to separate the two or more plies of glass.
