SWISSPACER shows all at Glasstec 2012

SWISSPACER will be exhibiting at Glasstec in Düsseldorf between 23-26 October 2012 to meet existing and potential customers and promote the benefits of its no-investment-needed spacer bar.SWISSPACER has excellent thermal properties, is robust and has the same external dimensions as aluminium spacers, making it ideal for Energy Rated windows and triple glazing. As a result sales of SWISSPACER have grown rapidly across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. It became the leading spacer in the UK and Ireland at the end of 2010 and has extended its lead since.

Peter Appel, International Marketing and Sales Manager at SWISSPACER says: “Glasstec is the leading international trade fair for the glazing industry and a showcase for the latest products and innovations. Glasstec is always one of the highlights of the year and we’re looking forward to showing visitors our leading warm edge spacer bar and talking about our plans for the future.”

Company Overview for: Swisspacer

Formed in 1998 Swisspacer is part of Saint-Gobain Glass Solutions. The company has experienced massive growth in the UK over the past 2 years. Its no-investment needed price benefit has been a key advantage that has attracted sealed unit manufacturers and window fabricators and fuelled its growth.

The manufacturing and head office is in Switzerland and a second manufacturing facility is established in Germany. Much investment is taking place to expand production capacity to ensure that Swisspacer is able to satisfy the dramatic ongoing growth in demand for its high performance warm edge spacer bar products.

Swisspacer has a growing network of leading sealed unit manufacturers in the UK and Ireland using its products, including Solaglas, Pilkington, Carey Glass, Supaseal, Custom Glass, Uniglaze2, Glass Systems, Clayton Glass, System 3 and Hollow Seal among others.

Swisspacer exactly matches the shape and dimensions of aluminium spacers, and being rigid and self supporting it handles in a similar way. And because there is no need to invest in expensive new machinery, it makes it very easy to get up and running with warm edge. Automated solutions are however available from Lisec, Saint-Gobain Seva and Rottler and Ruediger.

Independent tests conducted by IFT Rosenheim, the leading European independent fenestration research and test facility, showed that Swisspacer V had the best PSI values of all the other leading brands of spacer bar that were submitted for testing. Using Swisspacer thermal insulation (U-value) can be improved by up to 20%. Swisspacer V and Swisspacer perform very well in the Window Energy Rating Scheme.
