Spacer Bars


To further customize our glazing units, we provide spacer bars in various sizes, enhancing the structural integrity and thermal performance of the glass units. The available sizes are:

-4mm
- 6mm
- 8mm
- 10mm
- 12mm
- 14mm
- 16mm
- 18mm
- 20mm

Spacer bars are integral to double glazed units, separating the two panes of glass and creating a sealed air space. This air space improves insulation by reducing heat transfer and minimizing condensation. Our wide range of spacer bar sizes allows us to tailor each unit to your specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance for any application.

description of Double Glazed Units.


1. Two Glass Panes: The core of a double glazed unit consists of two panes of glass. These panes can be made from standard float glass, toughened glass, or laminated safety glass, depending on the specific requirements.

2. **Spacer Bar**: The spacer bar is a critical component that separates the two glass panes, creating a gap between them. Spacer bars come in various sizes, typically ranging from 6mm to 20mm. They are often made from materials like aluminum or warm-edge spacers, which help to reduce thermal bridging and enhance the insulating properties of the unit.

3. **Sealed Air Gap**: The space between the two glass panes, created by the spacer bar, is filled with air or an inert gas such as  air,argon, krypton, or xenon. This gas-filled space acts as an insulating barrier, significantly reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior environments.

4. **Desiccant**: Spacer bars often contain a desiccant material that absorbs any moisture trapped within the unit during manufacturing. This prevents condensation from forming between the glass panes.

5. **Sealant**: The edges of the double glazed unit are sealed with a high-quality sealant to ensure an airtight and watertight bond. This sealant prevents the insulating gas from escaping and keeps moisture out, maintaining the integrity and performance of the unit over time


 

Standard double glazed units in households consist of two glass panes separated by a spacer and sealed to create an insulating air or gas-filled cavity. This design enhances thermal efficiency, reduces heat loss, minimizes condensation, and improves acoustic insulation, making homes more energy-efficient and comfortable.

Obscure units.

Obscure double glazed units feature frosted or patterned glass for privacy while maintaining the insulating benefits of standard double glazing. Common in bathrooms and front doors, they provide thermal efficiency, reduce noise, and obscure visibility without sacrificing natural light.

Safety glass laminated and toughened. 

Laminated double glazed units consist of two glass panes with a plastic interlayer, offering enhanced security and sound insulation by holding shards together if broken. Toughened double glazed units feature glass that is heat-treated for increased strength and safety, shattering into small, less harmful pieces upon impact. Both types improve safety and performance, but laminated glass focuses on security and noise reduction, while toughened glass prioritizes strength and impact resistance.

Toughened glass is 5/10 working days and laminated is a same day service.
