Aluminium Spacer
Aluminium spacers are a common component used in Insulating Glass Units (IGUs) to separate the glass panes and create an airtight, sealed unit. The spacer plays a vital role in maintaining the thermal and structural performance of the IGU.
- Thermal Performance – Higher thermal conductivity, can cause thermal bridging.
- Strength & Durability – Strong, long-lasting, and corrosion-resistant.
- Design Flexibility – Can be bent and shaped for various configurations.
- Cost-Effective – Affordable compared to other spacer materials.
- Higher Thermal Conductivity – Less efficient at reducing thermal bridging.
- Basic Noise Insulation – Provides limited soundproofing benefits.
- Lower Energy Efficiency – Not as effective as alternatives in terms of thermal insulation.
- Seal Vulnerability – Prone to seal failure under extreme conditions.
- Thickness: 6mm, 9mm, 12mm
- Colours: Standard (Silver), Black (Colour-coated)
- Nominal Width: 6mm & 24mm
