Q Is there a significant capital expense to start using TGI-Spacer?
No. Our spacer is a drop-in component for most bending systems and automated IG assembly lines. Minimal effort and expense are 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?
TGI-Spacer was specifically formulated and designed for bent applications. The thermoplastic and stainless steel hybrid products combine to provide superior bending performance without heating.
Q Why is warm edge technology important?
Simply stated, warm edge IG technology allows manufacturers of fenestration products to create units that have superior thermal performance. TGI-Spacer is a new breed of warm edge technology with thermal performance values significantly better than traditional warm edge products.
Q How are TGI 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.
