ADVERTISEMENT Even after 30 plus years on the market, Quanex’s Super Spacer® Premium warm edge spacer continues to stand up to the toughest demands for insulating glass (IG) production. The silicone based, all-foam formula offers manufacturers a premium energy-efficient and sustainable solution for high-volume production of dual- and triple-pane IG. As a true dual seal warm edge spacer line, Super Spacer Premium uses a high performing acrylic adhesive for its structural seal and is backed by a moisture vapor seal for maximum insulation properties. Adding a required hot-melt butyl or comparable low permeable sealant results in an unbelievably durable double seal that provides for amazingly consistent seal quality.

The innovative Lyto technology provides complete blackout in just a few seconds for windows, doors, privacy glazing in bedrooms and bathrooms, skylights and entry doors. The solution also has potential in buildings where control of daylight and the comfort and privacy of occupants is particularly important, such as healthcare and educational facilities.  

The technology is sleek, adaptable and the shade is completely contained within a double or triple insulating glass unit. With no mechanical parts, this new shade solution isn’t subject to the mechanical failures. The shade is activated in seconds by passing a small current through the conductive layers creating an electrostatic attraction between the ultra-thin shade and the glass surface. 

Guardian Glass has licensed its patented Lyto technology to Privacy Glass Solutions. The product is expected to be available from Privacy Glass Solutions by the end of 2024. Initially, the product will be available in one color combination, white/off white. Additional color combinations to follow after launch.

The insulbar LI insulating profile is now available in North America. Compared with standard profiles made from solid polyamide, the lambda value of insulbar LI is improved by 30% through a manufacturing process in which the polyamide material is foamed during extrusion. Existing window systems can be upgraded seamlessly with insulbar LI, requiring no system or process changes, and the same visual appeal and quality as traditional polyamide is maintained.

The Butylver TPS is a solvent-free, poly-isobutylene spacer capable of forming chemical bonds with glass surfaces. Designed to seamlessly integrate with all TPS applicators, this thermoplastic spacer streamlines the production process of structural and standard insulating glass units, elevating warm-edge performance and enabling high-level industrial automation. Crafted from a single component poly-isobutylene base with integrated desiccants, Butylver TPS ensures precise adhesion, minimal permeability and exceptional stability—up to 20-millimeter cavity—for contemporary IG applications.

The SmartBlox 2.0 setting blocks by Lamatek are an 85 durometer, elastomeric material with no harmful phthalates that flexibly cushions insulating glass units and supports dead load. Installed between the window sash and IGU to protect the glass from impacts and fractures, and protect the glazing bead integrity, SmartBlox 2.0 is compatible with all glazing sealants and systems where shims may come in contact with PIB in spacers.
