After years
in development, TruSeal introduces Insuledge, the next class of warm-edge
spacer systems. Insuledge incorporates a proprietary molding process that
combines the very best elements to deliver all the benefits of rigid spacer
bar with the thermal performance of non-metallic---all in one flexible
spacer design.
Effective
MVRI Dual Seal
The combination of low permeability and both longer and thinner moisture
vapor transmission paths, result in the best design possible. A higher
MVRI indicates better moisture vapor resistance and improved long-term
durability.
P1
Durability Testing
Insuledge
surpasses 120 weeks of P1 exposure. The P1 box utilized for this testing
is the most severe design.
Less
Conductivity
Its hollow,
non-metal core replaces conductive solid or foam material with better insulating
air space making it lower in conductivity than the next best warm edge spacer.
Reduced
Total Window U-Value
U-Value represents
the total heat loss through the window. The lower the number the better.
Insuledge improves a window's U-Value.
KLIN
Value
Klin represents the heat transfer per unit length through the edge seal
spacer system without any glazing. The lower the Klin value, the better
the thermal performance of an edge seal system.
Edge
of Glass Temperatures
Better insulating Insuledge improves the temperature of the glass. Warmer
glass makes you feel more comfortable. Simulations performed by Enermodal Engineering Limited using Window
5 beta 2 and THERM 5 alpha.
Superior
Argon Gas Retention
Insuledge's proven argon retention adhesive has been used in over
100 million insulating glass units. Minimal gas loss occurs after
exposure to CGSB, ASTM, DIN or CEN seal durability tests. Regardless
of how gas retention is evaluated, Insuledge retains argon, thereby
maintaining the thermal properties of windows long term.
Gridloc
Muntin End Clips
TruSeals design of GridLoc Muntin End Clips allows for easy placement
and secure retention of muntins without displacing the spacer during insertion. Click here for more info and free samples!
