Edgetech, a Quanex company, is celebrating the 35th anniversary of Super Spacer, its foam warm-edge spacer bar.
Super Spacer was introduced in 1989. According to Edgetech, it “revolutionised the fenestration industry by offering superior thermal performance and productivity”.
Super Spacer’s foam construction is 950 times lower thermal conductivity compared to the mainstream metal spacers mostly used at the time, the company added. This reduced heat loss at the crucial window edge, it noted, a major factor in overall window energy efficiency.
The product has been used in famous structures worldwide, from the renovation of the Eiffel Tower to Dubai’s Museum of the Future.
Chris Alderson, president of European Fenestration at Quanex, said: “We’re incredibly proud of Super Spacer’s 35-year legacy.”
“In an era of increasing focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, Super Spacer remains a vital tool for architects, builders, and homeowners alike, and as a company we’ll never stop challenging ourselves to create the products that propel our industry forward.”
