Insulating units

The most technically advanced solutions.

Glazing

Glass Selection
Triple or double sealed glazed units from 20-32mm and bigger can be accommodated within our systems.
Our standard 24mm unit comprises two panes of 4mm clear glass with a thermally efficient, argon gas filled 16mm cavity. The inner pane is equipped with a thermally efficient Low E coating.
Optionally toughened, laminated safety, solar control, tinted glasses and self-cleaning options are available.
Units are manufactured to BS6206a and BS5713.

 


Thermix TX.N® - this is "warm edge"



Thermix Spacer
Thermix® spacers are profiles that ensure a "warm-edge" for insulating glass. The combination of stainless steel and highly insulating plastic results in the best insulating values.
In comparison to insulating glazing with conventional spacers made of aluminium or steel, Thermix® plastic warm-edge spacers insulate more intelligently, as Thermix® breaks the thermal bridge at the transition between the glass and the frame.
Besides considerable heat savings, the danger of condensation and mould formation is minimized. Improved hygiene in dwellings and a healthy interior climate are the consequence.
Thermix TX.N® spacers are suitable for all standard insulating glass products.

The advantages of Thermix® profiles:
  • Higher surface temperatures at the edge of the glass on the room side due to improved heat insulation ("warm-edge")
  • Virtually no danger of condensation formation leading to damage and mould, which can be a health risk
  • More favourable isothermal flow in windows and facades due to a thermal break at the edge bond of the glazing
  • Considerably better values for the thermal transmission coefficient Uw
  • Less heating losses at windows, proven in the primary energy balance according to EnEV
  • Attractive design
  • Thermix® bar systems: complete solutions for every size of window
  • Comparison of Thermix TX.N® with aluminium spacers
