In today’s commercial construction sector, balancing energy efficiency with innovative design is non‑negotiable. Edgetech’s flexible warm‑edge spacer technology meets the rigorous demands of modern glazing projects, delivering industry‑validated thermal performance, structural resilience, and unmatched versatility.

Superior Energy Efficiency

Traditional metallic spacers create heat‑loss pathways that weaken insulating glass unit (IGU) performance. Edgetech’s solution uses a non‑metallic, pre‑desiccated silicone foam spacer (Super Spacer®) to reduce thermal conductivity by up to 90% compared to aluminum spacers. This technology is NFRC‑certified—meaning it has been independently tested and verified by the National Fenestration Rating Council, a non‑profit third‑party organisation—and aligns with Passive House Institute standards, ensuring superior heat retention and lower HVAC costs. For commercial buildings, this translates to ENERGY STAR®‑recognised performance and measurable utility savings.

Design Versatility Without Compromise

Edgetech’s spacer system eliminates the constraints of rigid components. Its flexibility supports complex geometries—from curved skylights to geometric façades—without costly customisation. Architects and manufacturers can achieve bold, innovative designs (as featured in our project gallery) while maintaining consistent thermal performance.

Tested Durability for Demanding Environments

Commercial glazing must endure extreme conditions. Edgetech’s commercial glazing spacers are ASTM E2188/E2189 tested for seal durability and perform reliably in temperatures from –40°F to 200°F. The spacer’s ability to flex with glass movement reduces stress on edge seals, minimising breakage risk. Backed by a 20‑year IGU seal warranty, independent testing confirms a service life exceeding 40 years in harsh climates, ensuring long‑term structural integrity in projects such as hurricane‑prone coastal buildings.

Faster, Simpler Production

Edgetech streamlines IGU manufacturing by eliminating manual steps like bending, cutting, or desiccant filling. Compatible with automated systems (e.g., Forel and Bystronic), the spacer is supplied on continuous reels for robotic application, reducing labor costs and minimising errors. Case studies show 30‑50% faster production times compared to rigid spacer systems, enabling contractors to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.

Why Architects and Manufacturers Trust Edgetech

• Energy Savings: Third‑party data confirms up to 15% lower HVAC loads in buildings using Super Spacer®.
• Design Freedom: Widely used in LEED‑certified projects, including complex curved and oversized IGUs.
• Reliability: Independently tested for a service life exceeding 40 years in harsh climates.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduced waste and labor drive a compelling ROI for high‑volume projects.

For glazing that meets today’s commercial demands—energy codes, aesthetics, and durability—Edgetech’s flexible spacer system is the proven choice.
