Cost Effective Warm
Edge Solution
»»Thermobar Interbar,
manufactured by Thermoseal Group is a
bespoke range of bar designed to replace
existing internal aluminium systems that
simulate multi-pane windows. It is a plastic
alternative which helps to improve energy
efficiency and minimise the potential for
condensation on an insulated glass (IG) unit
around the surface mounted system.
According to BS EN14351, using internal
aluminium systems can result in a U-value
penalty on the sealed unit which can significantly
affect the energy rating of the unit.
Thermobar Interbar can be supplied
with compatible centre and edge keys in
11.5mmx18mm and 15.5mmx18mm. It is
currently in stock in black, but grey and white
alternatives will be available this year
Mark Hickox, Sales Director at Thermoseal
Group, says: “Our innovation centre is
working tirelessly to expand our range of costeffective warm edge accessories. Thermobar
Interbar has been in development for over
2 years and we have received some excellent
feedback from our customers using it so far.”

Specification Improved
»»Total Glass, one of the UK’s
leading PVCu window and composite door
fabricators, has chosen the Trojan Group’s
new 3D adjustable Composite Door Hinge
as part of a series of improvements to the
specifications of its composite door range.
All Total Composite Doors are
manufactured in-house at the company’s
extensive Liverpool-based production facility.
The ease of adjustment, additional strength
and improved aesthetic appeal of the hinge
were among the key reasons for selecting the
Trojan product, as Phill Cresswell, Total Glass
Sales and Marketing Manager explained: “The
butt hinge allows for full 3D adjustment in all
planes, and its additional strength will reduce
the need for future remedial visits to adjust
a dropped door slab – the new hinge has
certainly made our composite door a true ‘fit
and forget’ door for our customers”
Trojan’s Group Managing Director Tony
Chadwick commented: “Our hinge was
specially designed for composite doors to
reflect the unique requirements of a hinge for
this type of door, ensuring years of trouble-free
operation.”
