INSULATING GLASS COMPONENTS: Air Spacer Systems
The Ultimate Warm Edge System
Ködimelt TPS
What is TPS?
- TPS = Thermo Plastic Spacer
- Thermoplastic spacer without metal insert
- Improved heat insulation at the edge zone
- Even temperature distribution on the glass surface
- Reduced condensation
- Elastic edge seal
- Versatile and flexible design possibilities
- Ideally suited for structural glazing
- High quality - long lifetime
- Gas filled units may be sealed with Silicone, Polysulfide and Polyurethane
Infinitely Variable Spacer Widths
- From 6 mm (1/4") up to 20 mm (3/4") for individually designed insulating glass units
- 1 mm for liquid lamination application / Hurricane Glass
Insulating Glass Systems for Structural Glazing
Ideally suited to structural glazing due to gas filling and good UV-stability with silicone edge seal
Passes the Most Rigorous Testing in the World
- Elimination of human error
- Constant high quality
- Absolute tight corners - homogeneous strip
- Patented sloping connection
- Longer lifetime
- Very good adhesion to glass
Longer Life from Ultimate Vapor Barrier
- Low initial moisture content
- Further moisture adsorption
Pumping Action - No Problem
- No shear or peel stress due to positive or negative loads
- Elastic property of TPS allows for deflection due to temperature and wind load fluctuations
Dead Load Capability
No Compression Set

Thermographic Comparison
Effect of warm edge system
- constant room climate
- less convection
- more comfortable room climate
- no condensation at the window edge
