Home / News / Industry News / What types of spacers are commonly used to maintain distance between panes of Insulated glass?
There are several types of spacers commonly used to maintain distance between insulating glass units.
Metal Gaskets: These gaskets are typically made of aluminum or stainless steel and are commonly used in commercial and high-performance applications. It is strong and durable and provides excellent structural support for glass units.
Silicone Foam Gaskets: These gaskets are made of flexible silicone foam and are commonly used in residential applications. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and has excellent heat retention.
Stainless steel gaskets: Thin stainless steel gaskets are commonly used on doors and windows. It provides excellent structural support and thermal performance and is corrosion-resistant.
Warm edge gaskets: These gaskets are made from low thermal conductivity materials such as thermoplastics, thermosets, or hybrid materials. Designed to reduce heat transfer and increase energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss at the edges of the glass unit.
Super Spacer: This is a specific brand of warm edge spacer that is widely used in insulated glass units. It is made from a flexible foam material called silicone foam. Super Spacer provides excellent thermal performance and reduces the potential for condensation on the glass surface.
These are some commonly used gaskets and gasket selection depends on factors such as application, required performance and budget.
