Warm spacer 101

The warm spacer is indispensable for window manufacturers and investors focusing on energy-efficient and passive projects. It's the way to better quality windows, high thermal insulation, and a better quality of life for their users. What hides under this term? Let's shed some light on this matter.

Every object we surround ourselves with is constantly being improved by its creators looking for better new solutions. The process positively impacts the quality of life. It can also influence broader changes, such as attempts to halt ever-increasing environmental degradation.

Such evolution also does not fail to affect the window manufacturing market, which, to adapt to changing standards and customer expectations, constantly presents new solutions.

Window construction technology had to go further to meet market requirements as energy-efficient and passive houses are becoming the norm and even a basic human need. One of the solutions proposed, which has already become standard, is the warm distance frame. Their purpose is to enhance the thermal insulation of windows and thus reduce heat loss.

What is a warm spacer?

It is the part of the glazing unit that separates panes of glass. Metal frames were the first to appear on the market, but they caused thermal bridges. We can obtain much warmer windows free of thermal bridges using better materials for spacers. Joinery with better insulation ensures a pleasant microclimate in the room all year round.

Please note that every Eko-Okna window can be outfitted with a warm spacer.

Our windows guarantee high-quality organic materials. Thanks to glass fibre reinforcement and thermal optimization, chambers between panes are air-tight. Such improvements eliminate thermal bridges, enhance sealing in the glazing, and lower the heat transfer coefficient of the entire window. A warm distance frame enables savings of up to 5 percent of the heating costs of a property.

Do you want to make significant savings in your budget? Do you want to live greener?

Choose windows with a warm spacer, or add this option to your chosen window system.
