Spacer Bar Tech
Our advanced spacer bar technology enhances the thermal efficiency, durability, and overall performance of our insulated glass units.
Introduction of IGU spacer bar
Traditionally, aluminium spacer bars were the standard choice in double glazing. However, with advancements in window frame materials and glazing technologies, the thermal conductivity values of these components have significantly improved. This progress has highlighted a critical issue: aluminium spacer bars, while effective, are now seen as the weak link in the overall construction of insulated glass units.
Their higher thermal conductivity compared to newer materials means they can undermine the energy efficiency gains achieved by modern window frames and glazing. As a result, the industry is moving towards more advanced spacer bar technologies that offer better thermal performance and contribute to the overall efficiency and durability of insulated glass units.

The Hidden Hero of Insulated Glass
Spacer Bars play a pivotal role in the performance of insulated glass units. These spacers are designed to keep the two or three panes of glass apart, creating a sealed air space that improves thermal insulation. Advanced spacer bars, like those used in Euroview Architectural Glass products, incorporate desiccants to absorb moisture and reduce condensation, ensuring clear views and enhancing energy efficiency.

Improved Thermal Insulation
Spacer bars create a sealed air space between the glass panes, significantly enhancing the window’s thermal insulation. This helps maintain indoor temperatures, reduces the need for heating and cooling, and thus lowers energy costs.

Reduced Condensation
Advanced spacer bars often include desiccants that absorb moisture within the airspace. This reduces condensation on the glass surfaces, ensuring clear views and preventing potential damage from moisture buildup.

Enhanced Durability and Comfort
By minimizing thermal bridging and maintaining a stable air space, high-quality spacer bars contribute to the longevity of insulated glass units. This leads to more durable windows that offer consistent comfort and performance over time.
Up to 80% of energy loss through a window occurs at its edge.
Up to 80% of energy loss through a window occurs at its edge. This significant loss happens due to thermal bridging, where heat is conducted through the window frame and spacer bars. By using high-quality spacer bars, such as those employed in Euroview Architectural Glass products, this energy loss can be greatly reduced. These advanced spacers help to create a more effective thermal barrier, improving overall energy efficiency and reducing heating and cooling costs.
