Technoform introduces warm-edge spacer with matte black sidewall
Improved sightline aesthetics in structural glazing applications
The latest addition to Technoform’s family of durable plastic hybrid stainless steel (PHSS) warm edge spacers is designed for use in structural silicone glazing (SSG) applications. The addition of a matte black finish to the spacer’s steel sidewalls reduces the risk of unwanted glare from shiny metal surfaces which can sometimes be seen along the sightline of an insulating glass unit.
Fabricators can now ensure consistency of color at the edge while maintaining the excellent thermal performance and durability for which Technoform’s hybrid warm edge spacers are known. Any minor variations in PIB placement along the sightline of the IGU will be much less visible on the finished unit. This can make or break the appearance of the curtain wall and prevent costly replacements.
Product features:
- Matte black pinstripe on sidewalls
- Resistant to scratching and chipping
- Consistent with PIB black color
- Height of 6.85mm
- Offered in 1/2” and 17/32" widths
- Addition of steel wires creates enhanced rigidity for larger IGUs
- Same great thermal performance as Technoform‘s other hybrid warm edge spacers
Technoform's newest spacer surpasses the durability requirements of ASTM E2190 with a dual seal PIB/silicone sealant system. The Insulating Glass Certification Council (IGCC) lists this product as an approved spacer in the PHSS classification.
