SDL S-sentials Foam Product

S-sentials are flexible-foam sleeve attachments for metal muntin bars. The thermoset foam product is applied over conventional muntin bars, which are then assembled as internal grids within double-glazed IG units. Exterior muntin profiles are aligned and fixed to the outer surface of each glass-lite, with the S-sentials grid assembly visually linking the two. The result is the appearance of a heritage true-divided lite (TDL) window.

 


Product Features

Floating Hybrid Assembly
Flexible foam for glass-friendly contact; reduction of cold-weather glass breakage; accommodation of center-glass bowing; enhanced sound dampening.

Thermoset Foam Durability
Excellent UV resistance; passes chemical fogging tests; foam flexibility at extreme cold temperatures; no surface blistering or bubbling; provides additional desiccant capacity.

Warm-Edge Benefits
Superior thermoset foam insulation; double-foam thermal break for both cold and warm side; reduced convection and edge condensation; helps maintain window U-values when adding grids.

Simple Production Methods
Assured straight-line assembly; easy slip-over style; works with curved or bent muntin sections; compatible with existing muntin installation systems; no special grid clips.

Standard Options
Compatible with many different muntin-bar systems; available for varying muntin-bar widths; available in standard grey for immediate aesthetic compatibility with most
spacer systems.
