TPS-BU INSULATING GLASS UNITS
TPS stands for Thermoplastic Spacer. A TPS-BU-insulating glass unit has a warm edge spacer, which makes the unit frost-free, durable and of extremely high quality. The surface temperature on the edge area stays significantly warmer than with conventional aluminium or steel spacers, thus keeping the element completely dry and free from condensation.
A thermoplastic spacer is ideal for any type of profile system because the width of the spacer can be changed as desired between 6 and 18 millimetres. The total thickness of the unit can easily be maintained with different glass thicknesses by changing the spacer width.
The structure of a TPS-BU-insulating glass unit is flexible, for it contains no metal. The flexible structure minimizes the risk of breakage on the edge areas. It also makes the use of special feature glass more versatile, for example by making it possible to freely choose the location of patterned glass surface. The SG-insulating glass units manufactured with a TPS-BU-spacer are now also CE marked.
Did you know?
-
The surface temperature is 4-6°C higher than in a traditional insulating glass unit.
-
The width of the spacer can be chosen freely between 6 and 18 mm.
-
The U-value of the window is up to 8 % lower.
-
Available also for patterned glass.
-
With TPS-BU-units high quality is achieved even with high profile patterned glass. The thermoplastic spacer adjusts to the shape of the glass surface, making the unit air-tight, but also reduces the risk of breakage.
-
Our TPS-BU-insulating glass units are manufactured with all the standard markings on the spacer. Other markings can also be printed on the edge area of the glass upon request.
-
The patented bevel joint ensures a perfect primary sealing of the thermoplastic spacer.
-
The thermoplastic spacer sets securely to the edge of the element. The continuous sealant ensures the tight seal of the IGU edge.
-
CNC-controlled movements of the TPS-BU-applicator allow for individual design. Corners, curves and shapes are no problem for TPS-BU!
