Edgetech, the UK manufacturer of the most cost effective Warm Edge Technology, has received RIBA approval for its CPD (Continuous Professional Development) presentation. Roland Sarin, Specification Sales Manager at Edgetech, a Quanex company comments: “Edgetech has had a presence in the architectural sector for some time now with our products being used in some of the most prestigious projects around the world, but we want to be more proactive in getting our message to this particular market. As part of a wider campaign to raise awareness of the range of Edgetech Warm Edge Technologies (WETs), the CPD titled ‘Insulated Glass Unit Spacer Systems and Warm Edge Technology’ has now gained full approval. The 45 minute presentation can be delivered in architectural practices, clients’ offices or at Edgetech’s impressive manufacturing facility in Coventry. Architects who attend this CPD will learn about Edgetech as a global provider of Warm Edge Technology and the historical development of Insulated Glass Units as well as be provided with an introduction to WET, an overview of current WETs in the market and the anatomy of high performance Warm Edge Technology. We have also included an architectural portfolio that demonstrates WET in the built environment.

“Sometimes it’s the smallest components that make the biggest difference and that is certainly true of Edgetech’s Warm Edge Technology in a window. This next generation of spacer is made of a flexible foam material and has proved so popular among architects to date because it offers the best thermal performance while improving the aesthetics of the unit within the window. It offers better sightlines in any material, which is particularly beneficial in projects using timber or aluminium windows. Other benefits include reduced condensation and improved durability.”
