Modern homes are sealed tight, with high moisture content caused by cooking, bathing and even breathing. This can invariably create condensation problems and in severe cases, where condensation persists, the home can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and dust mites. They thrive in moist environments and these conditions contribute to increased levels of asthma, especially in young children.
In order to keep window condensation moisture off the glass, your windows need to have the warmest inside surface temperatures possible.
The world's warmest edge occurs with Super Spacer ® Triseal ™, an insulating foam spacer whose use assures comfortable household humidity levels with the least likelihood of mould and other problems.
Triseal ™ blocks the heat escape path and provides one of the best thermal performances in the industry. But most importantly, Super Spacer ® eliminates concerns about harmful mould and protects your family - your most precious possessions
The solution – it is relatively simple; good ventilation and removal of the primary culprit – the highly conductive aluminium spacer bar. When it is cold outside the aluminium provides a thermal bridge to the inside, where its meets the warm air, condensation is then formed.
Less Energy Loss:
80% of a windows energy loss is through the edge of the glass , because of the aluminium spacer bar separating the two panes of glass. By replacing it with the Super Spacer® Triseal ™, the edge temperature can be increased by 65%! Helping to save on the heating bills.
Less Condensation:
Super Spacer® Triseal ™ is 950 times less conductive than aluminium, significantly reducing the thermal loss at the edge of the glass.
This in turn reduces the condensation by up to 70% over normal double glazing. The laws of physics dictates that heat will rush to the coldest surface, by taking away the conductive aluminium spacer, we minimise the opportunity for potential problems.
Increased Energy Efficiency:
Due to lower conductive rates of the Super Spacer® Triseal ™, it reduces overall U Value of a window by 0.2wmk².
Noise Reduction:
Super Spacer® Triseal ™ sealed units have been proven to reduce noise transmission by up to 2db, over units with standard aluminium spacer. The Super Spacer® acts as an acoustic isolator, which will absorb up to 18% sound, whereas metal spacer bars produce sound.
Durability:
Super Spacer® has a high UV resistance and can cope with phenomenal range in temperature from –51C to +127C. It has a 100% memory and therefore allows for expansion and contraction, which is the major cause of stress fractures in conventional sealed units.
