FAQs

Q. What is the Thermal Conductivity Value of Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer Tube?

Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer tube has a thermal conductivity value of 0.14W/mK on a 15.5mm airspace - with or without its gas barrier tape. This is the value as per IFT-Rosenheim physical testing (this includes desiccant and PIB). There is a BuildCheck Data Sheet downloadable on the our website, certifying this figure. 

Thermobar is also Passive House approved and offers a phA rating for Arctic Climates (phA+ with Hot Melt secondary sealant).  

We are proud to have manufactured our own British-made product which offers one of the best thermal performances available worldwide.

Q. Is Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer bendable?

Yes. However, as Thermobar is made with an engineering plastic, it needs heat to bend. This can be manually bent using a heat source, or bent using automated bending machines. With Thermobar, it is important that it works using traditional automated bending machines, as well as the new ones entering the market, so we work with a wide range of warm edge bending machine suppliers to optimise the speed that the product bends and maximise output.

Q. What is Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer?

Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer System is a rigid tube spacer system made with engineering plastic.  It has a unique gas/moisture barrier tape. It is one of two warm edge spacer systems we manufacture in-house. Thermobar and Thermoflex both offer highest thermal performance and are the result of Thermoseal Group’s 39-plus years of dedication to insulated glass.

Thermobar is currently available in black, grey and white in profile widths: 4mm, 7.5mm, 9.5mm, 11.5mm, 13.5mm, 15.5mm, 17.5mm, 19.5mm, 21.5mm and 23.5mm.
