Thermix® - an essential for energy-efficient construction.

In comparison to insulating glazing with conventional spacers made of aluminium or steel, Thermix® plastic warm-edge spacers insulate more intelligently. Because Thermix® breaks the thermal bridge a the transitionbetween the glass and the frame. Besides considerable heat savings, the danger of condensation and mould formation is minimized. Improved hygiene in dwellings and a healthy interior climate are the consequence.

The new German Regulation for Energy Saving (EnEV) specifies that thermal bridge losses at the glass edge should be taken into account when determining the characteristics of windows and facades.

The calculated thermal transmission coefficients of windows and facades (Uw) clearly demonstrate the more favourable values for plastic spacers compared to those made of aluminium.

          The advantages of Thermix®
          profiles at a glance:

• Higher surface temperatures at the edge of the glass on the room side due to improved heatinsulation (“warm-edge“)
  
• Virtually no danger of condensation formation leading to damage and mould, which can be a health risk
  
• More favourable isothermal flow in windows and facades due to a thermal break at the edge bond of the glazing
  
• Considerably better values for the thermal transmission coefficient Uw
  
• Less heating losses at windows, proven in the primary energy balance according to EnEV
  
• Attractive design
• Thermix® bar systems: complete solutions for every size of window
  
• Can be built into all insulating glass products
