No. The Thermal Spacer is a drop-in component for most bending systems and automated IG assembly lines. Minimal effort and expense is required to make the transition.
Q | Will a plastic spacer create fogging issues?Traditional PVC can cause fogging. That's why Technoform developed a non-plasticized thermoplastic blend that passes the most stringent industry standards for fogging and outgassing.
Q | Are plastic spacer bars more difficult to bend than traditional components?Thermal Spacer was specifically formulated and designed for bent applications. The thermoplastic and stainless steel hybrid product combine to provide superior bending performance without heating.
Q | Why is Thermal Spacer (warm-edge) technology important?Simply stated, Thermal Spacer (warm-edge) technology allows manufacturers of fenestration products to create units that have superior thermal performance. Thermal Spacer is a new breed of warm-edge technology with thermal performance values significantly above traditional warm-edge products.
Q | How are Thermal Spacer frames connected?Technoform has developed engineered connector systems for cut and corner and bending operations specifically designed to provide superior fit and exceptional unit corner strength.
