What is warm edge?
Windows that incorporate insulating glass are far more energy efficient that those with single panes. For years, window producers have offered double paned insulating glass units in their product offer. Traditional spacer material consisted of aluminum box spacer, desiccant, and sealant. Over the years, technological and mechanical advances have offered more efficient insulating glass spacer options, called “warm edge”.
A warm edge spacer is made of materials that are less conductive than the typical aluminum box spacer. In addition, spacers with unique profiles can also reduce conduction of energy. These types of spacers reduce condensation and produce higher R-Values. The end result is a window that thermally outperforms other windows, helping to keep buildings warmer in cold weather and cooler in the summer.
Intercept® Spacer System from PPG Glass Technologies was one of the first warm edge solutions with its introduction in 1992. Through the years, Intercept® has performed superiorly in over 1 billion insulating glass units which is the largest market share in North America.
Intercept® Spacer System offers remarkable performance and durability as a warm edge solution. Contact your GED Regional Sales Manager for details on how you can take advantage of this superior warm edge system, all the while keeping an eye on your profits!
