- Low gas permeation
- Exceptional surface treatment to enhance adhesion to sealants and spacer
- Very high resistance to corrosion
Benefits
- Easy installation of frame spacers for glass, helping to save time and resources.
- Suitable for automated installation
- Accommodate stress induced by thermal expansion and pressure differentials
- Enables insulation that reduces heat loss and prevents formation of interior condensation
- Contributes to green credentials of buildings
Frequently Asked Questions About Warm Edge Spacers
-
What is a warm edge spacer and why is it important?
A warm edge spacer is a thermally optimized spacer used in insulated glazing units. By reducing thermal bridging at the window edge, it enhances energy efficiency, improves comfort, and helps lower heating and cooling costs an important differentiator in markets with strict energy regulations.
-
How do Avery Dennison tapes contribute to performance?
The tapes provide strong, durable adhesion between the spacer and glass, ensuring long-term structural integrity. Their resistance to aging and climatic stress preserves insulating performance over time, reducing the risk of unit failure.
-
Are the tapes compatible with different spacer materials?
Yes. They are designed to bond reliably with the most commonly used spacer materials, including advanced plastics and hybrid metal combinations, ensuring flexibility for different system designs.
