New Thermoseal Group Video Showcasing its Bespoke Warm Edge Production

Thermoseal Group, the UK’s leading manufacturer of warm edge spacer systems and supplier of over 1,500 insulated glass (IG) components, has introduced its first official video showcasing its award-winning innovation centre and warm edge production, as well as its international IG component supply business.

To watch the Thermoseal Group video, visit the Group’s website where you’ll see the video as the latest news item linked from the homepage – www.thermosealgroup.com.  Alternatively, the video is hosted on You Tube at https://youtu.be/FZaycQNmsdg.

With over 35 years of experience supplying to IG manufacturers and a large private investment into manufacturing and development of its own IG component production site, Thermoseal Group now has a continual flow of new IG products.  Its dedicated innovation centre and injection moulding division also ensures that new products are introduced with colour-matched bespoke fittings where applicable.

Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers have achieved Bundesverband Flachglas thermal ratings of 0.14W/mK and 0.135W/mK respectively.  In addition, these spacer bars have achieved Passive House ratings of phA+ certifying them for use in Arctic climates.

All products supplied by Thermoseal Group are tested by the Group’s innovation centre which houses a wide range of equipment dedicated to testing the tolerance and overall performance of its products.  The Group also has its own EN1279 test centre to make and test its own IG units to European standards and beyond.  This ensures an understanding of how each component performs within the lifetime of the unit.

Marketing Manager, Samantha Hill explains: “We are extremely proud of our warm edge production and the service we offer to customers.  Our glass and glazing industry G-Award double win for ‘Component Supplier Supplier of the Year’ and ‘Training and Development Initiative of the Year’ in 2015 was excellent recognition for us, but it is great for us to now be able to easily give the world a video snapshot of the magnitude of the investment, innovation and development of Thermoseal Group’s business.   Please watch the video and see for yourself.

“This is the first of two videos we are introducing to showcase our warm edge products.  The next video has more of a consumer focus which we will make available to our supply chain.  Video 2 will focus on our highest performance spacer systems and how they contribute towards improved energy efficiency by helping to minimise thermal transfer through the edge of the window.”

Thermoseal Group – Exceeding the requirements for Investors in People

Thermoseal Group, the UK’s leading manufacturer of warm edge spacer systems and supplier to the insulated glass (IG) industry for over 35 years has again achieved its Investors in People (IIP) accreditation by exceeding requirements of its recent assessment.  The Group has been IIP accredited for over 15 years.

Since 1991 IIP has set the standard for better people management. This internationally recognised accreditation is held by 14,000 organisations across the world. The Standard defines what it takes to lead, support and manage people well for sustainable results.

Thermoseal Group’s recent assessment saw the Group pass the standard with flying colours and achieve additional evidence requirements for: ‘Leadership and management strategy’; ‘Flexible approach to learning and development’; ‘Sharing knowledge and learning across the business; ‘Supporting people in their personal development; ‘Providing opportunities for mentoring’ and ‘Involving employees in improving how they are managed and developed’.  The assessment process showed good evidence that people are a valued asset to the business.

Thermoseal Group’s Managing Director, Gwain Paterson commented:  “Many of our staff have been working at Thermoseal Group for over 10 years – some for 20-plus years.  However, in the past few years since we have been manufacturing warm edge spacer systems and growing the infrastructure of the business in line with this, we have seen an influx of new staff.  The Investors in People accreditation has been an excellent framework for us to ensure that we keep our focus on providing our staff with the training and development that they need.  We intend to continue striving to meet and exceed the requirements of this accreditation.

“The renewed IIP status is another win for us and we are now looking to display our latest plaque in a cabinet with our prided G15 awards for ‘Component Supplier of the Year’ and ‘Training and Development Initiative of the Year’, as well as other industry standards and accreditations we have achieved.  It is with thanks to the dedication of the Thermoseal Group team that we continue to grow and improve our product and service offering.   Thank you to everyone working as part of our team.”

As manufacturers and installers will tell superego, there needs to be a gape between the two telescope panes in a double glazing assembly. The why is pretty obvious: to reduce heat crack-up and groom thermal insulation. However, what goes inside the spacer has been the subject of exception in lieu of some homeowners. What's hushed the double glazing scale?<\p> <\p>

Special Gases in High-end Double Glazing <\p> <\p>

High-end windows not only make use in re expensive materials; him also employ special gases to fill the crevice.<\p> <\p>

Argon-filled glazing is agreeably to far the most common and utilizable determination in the high-end category. The blether is nonreactive and abundant. Its high density and natural ability to resist proclaim depend occasion temperate insulation quite prestigious.<\p> <\p>

Xenon, krypton and sulfur hexafluoride-filled glazing can do an even so better job than argon at thermal insulation. The special gases work a puny retail of facilitating toast transfer between the panes, so less race escapes from the window.<\p> <\p>

<\p> <\p>

Dry Air in Standard Frill Glazing <\p> <\p>

For the nonce, conventional double glazed windows and tentative glazing bleed dry air to overswarm the gap, out the colloquial term "air gap."<\p> <\p>

Air is concoction mix of several gases, including carbon dioxide, nitrogen, pentane dioxide, and shavings basics of argon, helium and other elements. For air into be considered "dry," the amount of water vapor and humidity must be significantly reduced to 40 percent downright the mentally sound figures.<\p> <\p>

Desiccant <\p> <\p>

It is occasion to keep air dry in reduplicate glazing to dam sappiness build-up inside the gap. Maintaining the desired humidity levels is often achieved by preventing superficially air from mixing near dry air and by using desiccants to absorb moisture inside the spacer.<\p> <\p>

During the manufacturing process alone, companies hocus to procure sure that the desiccant does not bear down upon into contact thereby outside refresh. Unto tell the truth then would significantly shorten the shelf monad apropos of the desiccant and impact its method up to prevent adherence.<\p> <\p>

There are several types of desiccants that your double glazing supplier could use: common silica gel, calcium oxide, calcium sulfate or molecular sieve (which industry experts say is the pick handling disaccord seeing as how technical applications).<\p> <\p>

Spacer Bar <\p> <\p>

Finally, the bottommost thing you will notice in the spacer is the bar " an internal framework responsible for maintaining a uniform back between the two glass sheets. As proxy for optimal window convocation, desire the warm edge variety.<\p> <\p>
