Windows that last

Long-Term Durability = Sustainability

When the elements come knocking, windows made with flexible foam Super Spacer® will more than meet the challenge. The flexible foam technology of Super Spacer 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 don’t allow for the natural expansion and contraction that must occur in the insulating glass unit to offset the effects of these pressures on the glass. The results are stress cracks that eventually lead to seal failure. Windows made with flexible foam Super Spacer develop far fewer stress cracks than windows made with rigid spacers.
 
If only the strong survive, Super Spacer will outlast the rest. Check out our SustainaView® Window Technology for more information on the sustainable attributes of the world’s toughest warm edge spacer system.
 
Durability Facts:
  • Super Spacer’s life expectancy is up to five times that of a single seal spacer system.
  • Super Spacer retains its flexibility over a wide range of temperature changes
    (-40° to 250° Fahrenheit or -40° to 121° Celsius).
  • Super Spacer meets or exceeds worldwide standards for durability.
  • With Super Spacer, condensation is virtually eliminated.
