SWISSPACER Air - Component for pressure equalization in insulating glass
ADVERTISEMENT If glasses are installed at a different height than produced, no pressure compensation takes place and it can lead to significant deformations – up to glass breakage. The risk of such damage can be minimized if a continuous pressure equalization takes place between the outside climate and the space between the panes. SWISSPACER Air makes this equalization possible and therefore provides the answer to a fundamental problem in the industry.
Warm-edge spacers
Thermoseal Group recently added a series of new sizes to its Thermobar warm-edge spacer series. New sizes include: 14.5 millimeters, 18.5 mm, 21.5 mm and 23.5 mm spacers with bespoke corner keys to suit. Recent additions also include Thermobar Interbar and fittings in 11.5 mm by 22 mm and 15.5 mm by 22 mm sizes, which also come in black, gray and white. Thermobar Interbar is the Group’s alternative to its Duplex fittings range, which is used to simulate multi-pane windows with standard Thermobar warm-edge spacer.

Vacuum IG Units by Guardian Glass
Guardian will exhibit its vacuum insulating glass units. The IG units provide architects with an exterior glass solution to help building designs meet thermal performance requirements for new construction or building renovation. Guardian vacuum IG units can improve center of glass performance from R1 for single-pane glass to R-12, company officials report. Each unit utilizes two tempered glass panes separated by microspacers, a vacuum between the panes and Guardian SunGuard low-emissivity coatings to deliver insulating performance. The company will also have its Bird1st glass on display. Booth #1121
