New from Technoform Glass Insulation (TGI), TGI-Spacer M with Wire to improve the overall thermal and structural performance, reduce the risk of condensation, and enhance the appearance of window systems for commercial, industrial and residential building applications. Supporting glazing manufacturers' productivity and reliability goals, the optimized profile geometry and increased rigidity of TGI-Spacer M with Wire provides industry-leading durability and easier handling during fabrication.
Featuring a hybrid composition, TGI-Spacer M with Wire is a cold bendable, warm edge spacer bar comprised of a thin, low conductivity stainless steel, a spring steel wire and an engineered thermoplastic. "TGI-Spacer's hybrid technology combines the excellent seal durability and structural performance of a stainless steel box spacer with the thermal performance of a non-metallic spacer. Introducing the reinforcing steel wire provides improved processing efficiencies and bent frame integrity without negatively impacting thermal performance," explains says Brian Stephens, TGI market team member.
