- Architectural Thermal Spacer (ATS) is a warm-edge spacer designed to separate the two glass panes in your double-glazed windows and doors. It forms an airtight seal that optimizes the retention of argon gas within the AGP System, ensuring superior thermal performance.
- Argon gas is an invisible, inert gas used as an insulator in double glazing. It creates an extra barrier to minimize heat loss during winter and reduce heat gain in summer, thereby enhancing the overall thermal performance of your windows and doors.
- Bonded to glass and secondary sealant – A continually evolving formulation used to ensure durable bonding between glass panes. This creates an airtight seal for the space between panes, providing additional protection for the primary seal.
-
Solux-E® is a virtually invisible low emissivity (Low-E) coating applied to the inside surface of the exterior glass pane. This coating significantly enhances insulation in the home by reducing heat loss through the glass during winter and limiting overheating in the summer.
