GLASS&SEALEDUNITS

First of a kind for triple glazing
Spacer bar supplier Swisspacer has launched a new
product at Glasstec. The company says Swisspacer
Triple is a world first – the only warm edge spacer
bar designed specifically for triple glazing.
»»IT CAN BE PROCESSED BY HAND
or on existing machinery for double glazed
units. This makes it ideal for all sized sealed
unit makers and for those who want to start
producing triple glazed units.
John Cooper, Swisspacer head of marketing
and sales (UK & Ireland) says: “Swisspacer
Triple is the first of its kind. It’s a game-changer
for triple glazed units. Until now, sealed unit
makers have had to use two spacer bar in
triple glazed units, but you only need to use
one Swisspacer Triple.

“It has the same outstanding thermal
performance as Ultimate, and lets
manufacturers use a slimmer middle pane for
a lighter sealed unit that’s durable, long-lasting,
easier to manufacture and easier to install.
We believe this significant innovation will help
reduce the time and cost of producing triple
glazed units. We’re very excited to launch
Swisspacer Triple and we’re sure it will be a
huge success.”

GROWTH IN TOUGHENED ROOF GLASS
»»TUFF X CONTINUES YEAR-ON-YEAR
growth for its oversize toughened conservatory
roof glass brand, Ambience. The Ambi-Max
product has excellent benefits at design stage,
allowing for larger spanned conservatories
without the need for any unsightly muntin
or jointing bars, and the common problems
of leaks and dirt build up they can bring with
countless call backs months or even years
later.
This can lead to disgruntled customers and
in some cases installers having to remove the
existing muntin bars and glass and replace
with the Ambi max product range eventually
eliminating the ongoing problems.

Tuff X had its third glass furnace, a
Glaston FC 500 installed earlier this year,
which allows the company to continue its
R&D working closely with worldwide glass
manufacturers. Tuff X is the only company
in the UK to manufacture glass roof panels
up to 4,000mm in length and deliver direct
to site taking away the logistic and handling
complications installation companies
encounter.
