SuperSpacer® Technology
All spacers are not created equal! When we say that our windows are manufactured with the absolute best materials available, we mean it. Our windows utilize a revolutionary, acrylic-bonded and ultra-durable aerospace technology spacer system called SuperSpacer® to ensure that your windows keep your house warm during the winter and cool during the summer. This is acheived by combining a barrier sealant with an acrylic seal, mylar backing and a flexible thermal textile which allow the SuperSpacer® system to outperformed traditional window seal systems during the most demanding conditions. Testing has shown the SuperSpacer® system to be effective during 140°F temperatures with levels of 95% and 100% humidity and constant UV bombardment and have up to 5 times the life expectancy of comparable seal systems on the market today. In addition to this, SuperSpacer®-sealed windows are considered to be “health smart”, due to their prevention of condensation, which in turn, prevents the growth of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other allergens.
