Inex Spacer - Warm Edge SpacersFor more than 13 years, INEX™ Spacer Inc. has been providing warm edge spacer bars that are an integral part of insulating glass. Marketed under the name INEX SPACER, the critical component diminishes frost and condensation around the sight line of the glass. In other words, it creates a thermal barrier that reduces heat loss and cold air penetration, increasing the energy efficiency of the window. INEX WARM EDGE SPACER MAKES THE DIFFERENCEConductivity: what sets INEX SPACER apart from traditional spacers is that it makes use of the latest in spacer technology - warm edge. The difference is in the material. Unlike many spacer products, INEX SPACER is a reinforced thermoplastic that has a low conductivity rate. In fact, compared to aluminum, its conductivity rate is 25 times lower. Expansion: its expansion rate is similar to aluminum, which is known to be well adapted to that of glass. Condensation: its tolerance threshold to moisture caused by ambient humidity is very high. Laboratory tests have shown that under extreme conditions, the condensation rate of INEX SPACER is less than that of aluminum, which produces a condensation band with an ice selvedge. Design: thanks to its particular shape, INEX SPACER has a 110% surface adherence, compared to other technologies. The choice of colors is aesthetically adapted to today's products and also gives solar protection. Durability: made from a very solid material, INEX SPACER offers durability and other characteristics to ensure the longevity of sealed units and reduce the risk of thermal breakage. Economical: since INEX SPACER makes use of traditional polysulfide and butyl methods, there is no major investment required. It is competitively priced, making it financially attractive to manufacturers. NOT ALL WINDOW SPACERS ARE CREATED EQUAL With many types of spacers available that are as different in style and design as they are in physical and chemical characteristics, it is apparent that not all spacers are created equal. The best example is the test results from an independent laboratory that indicate INEX SPACER is the most efficient warm edge spacer on the market. Another example is the preference of insulating glass manufacturers, particularly in Canada, from coast to coast. They have produced more than 20 million glass units with INEX SPACER. Coupled with its excellent thermal performance, INEX SPACER also offers an innovative and attractive design. WHY SPECIFY INEX WARM EDGE SPACERS? By specifying INEX SPACER, architects are indicating a preference for windows that are fabricated with the most advanced spacer technology. Consumers benefit from having energy-efficient, long-lasting windows while manufacturers can make use of a high-quality material that is flexible, bendable, versatile and financially attractive through competitive pricing. THE INEX SPACER TECHNICAL TEAM The company has a highly-competent sales and support team and a managed network of partners and collaborators worldwide. As a global product, INEX SPACER is being aggressively marketed in the United States as well as in Europe and Asia. Just as windows are specified for size, configuration and color to meet design considerations, why not specify one of the most critical components that can affect the energy efficiency of a window.
