Lindsay Windows uses Super Spacer

Lindsay Windows uses Super Spacer to build superior products for your home!
  • The all-foam formula of Super Spacer blocks the heat escape path and provides one of the best thermal performances in the industry.
  • Super Spacer is 950 times less conductive than aluminum spacers, 85 times less than stainless steel.
  • With improved sound absorption over traditional metal spacers, NO-Metal Super Spacer is a huge help in keeping the decibels down.
  • Condensation can lead to more than bacteria and molds. It cal increase the likelihood of fungi, viruses and mites that cause respiratory infections, allergies, and asthma.
  • Our all-foam formula offsets the effects of temperature changes, barometric pressure, wind load and glazing pressure. The end result is less seal failure and fewer stress cracks.

"Thermal efficiency through no presence of conductive metals" is the Super Spacer hallmark. The edge of the insulating glass unit is the most vulnerable to heat and cooling loss, condensation and frosting. Super Spacer's NO-Metal formula blocks the heat escape path and provides one of the best thermal performances in the industry. That means it keeps the heat in during the winter months and keeps the cool in during the summer months. Super Spacer assures comfortable winter humidity levels with hardly any worries about condensation and mold.

Warm Edge Benefits
80% of a window's heat loss is through the glass itself, and the edge of the glass is a window's weakest link. When the glass edge is thermally inefficient, condensation forms - affecting the view through the window and potentially causing expensive damage to window sills, frames, curtains, paint and plaster. Super Spacer is 950 times less conductive than aluminum spacers and 85 times less conductive than stainless steel. This superior insulation means improved energy savings, dramatically lower thermal conductivity and substantially reduced perimeter condensation for overall window improvement.

Poorly insulated windows can contribute to 25% of a home's heating/cooling loss. The spacer... the edge of the insulating glass unit that separates the panes of glass... is the most vulnerable to heating/cooling loss. As a homeowner, it's important to choose the most energy efficient window spacer. Traditional window spacers were made with 100% aluminum and were poor insulators against heat/cold transfer. Later spacers combined less metal with other materials and were called "Warm Edge" spacers. These were more energy efficient but still transmitted heat/cold due to the metal portion of the design. Super Spacer is the latest advancement in energy efficient spacers and uses NO-Metal! Consequently Super Spacer allows almost no heat/cold transfer and is accurately called the TrueWarm Edge Spacer.
