energy loss occurs at the glass edge.
Ordinary aluminium spacers are highly
conductive. In winter they let heat
escape and encourage condensation.
That's why our windows feature Duralite
- a warm edge NON metal spacer.
Duralite's advanced composite
construction is up to 22x more efficient
at preventing heat transfer around
window edge. It also has a 60-75% lower
vapour transmission rate, increasing
window service life.
glazing specifications, windows with
Duralite spacers outperformed
windows using aluminium or foam.
Slim and reflective, Duralite doesn't
obstruct sightlines and mirrors the
frame colour. Tested to EN1279,
DuraGreen windows join over 50 million
windows worldwide already using
Duralite spacer technology.
