Technoform Introduces Warm-Edge Spacer with Matte Black Sidewall
New spacer expands insulating glass-edge seal solutions, supporting visual appeal of structural glazing
Technoform has added a new plastic, hybrid, stainless steel warm-edge spacer to its family of durable, high-performance, edge seal solutions for insulated glass units. With a matte black finish applied to the sidewall of the spacer, the risk of “shiners,” or exposed stainless steel at the edge from the spacer, can be reduced. Referenced as Technoform SP25, this product development is the latest in Technoform’s extensive catalog of high thermal performance solutions.
Designed for use in structural silicone glazing applications, the black sidewall of the spacer reduces the chance of steel visibility where there is not full coverage of the sidewall by primary polyisobutylene sealant. PHSS spacers by Technoform are composed of a high-performance engineered polymer with a thin, low-conductivity, stainless steel wrapping on the back and sides. Technoform’s PHSS spacers minimize heat transfer and maximize protection against gas leakage and moisture penetration.
