COMPOSITION AND MATERIALS
A combination of anodized aluminum with a custom formulated
polyurethane thermal barrier. This structural spacer warms the edge of the glass to reduce condensation and improve the U-factor of the window. Warm-Light structural spacer will exhibit 20 percent less deflection and will withstand more than twice the Lbf to failure in compression tests than a conventional aluminum spacer.

BASIC USE
Warm-Light® insulating glass spacers are
structurally stable and can be used in any
residential, commercial or architectural
glazing application.
Warm-Light® structural warm-edge spacer is
manufactured in a wide range of colors and sizes.
Warm-Light® by Azon combines the aesthetics
and strength of aluminum with a custom-formulated
polyurethane thermal barrier to keep the temperature
extremes separated. Test reports and product performance data are available by request . . . Contact Us |
