Windows that Last a Lifetime
Super Spacer® is made with Thermoset Spacer (TSS®) technology. This
technology ensures that the spacer will expand and contract,
but it will always maintain its structural integrity by returning
to its original shape.
This is very important because windows are constantly exposed
to temperature changes, UV ray bombardment, barometric pressure
changes and wind load. Other rigid spacers containing metal
do not allow for the natural expansion and contraction that
must occur in the insulated glass unit to offset the effects
of these pressures on the glass. The results are stress cracks
that eventually lead to seal failure.
Super Spacer is a dual-seal system that uses a high-performance acrylic
adhesive for its structural seal. Backed with a moisture vapor
seal, Super Spacer insulating glass lasts five times longer
in durability tests than single seal units.
The results are obvious. Super Spacer structural foam combines with
this acrylic adhesive strength to form the most reliable primary
seal in an insulating glass unit on the market.
