Stricter energy requirements are increasing the demands placed on windows and insulating glass units. At the same time, insulating glass manufacturers are under growing cost pressure and need solutions that integrate efficiently and reliably into existing production processes.

The thermal performance of a window is not determined by a single component or value. It depends on how the glazing, frame and edge bond work together. SP24 supports the thermal performance of the complete window system while enabling efficient processing in insulating glass production.

Thermal performance as part of the complete system

As thermal requirements for windows and façades increase, the edge bond plays a more important role. Warm edge spacers reduce heat transfer at the edge of the insulating glass unit and support the energy performance of the complete window.

At glasstec, an interactive demonstration shows how the spacer works with the frame, insulating components and glazing to optimize the performance of the complete window system.

The message is simple: no single component determines the result. High thermal performance comes from the way the individual components work together.

Cold bending for efficient processing

For insulating glass manufacturers, high thermal performance must go hand in hand with efficient production.

SP24 can be processed without pre-heating. By eliminating the additional heating step required before conventional warm bending, cold bending can simplify integration into existing production processes.

SP24 can also be processed on automated insulating glass production lines, combining high thermal performance with efficient and reliable production.
