The Glass Alliance network, made up of Fenzi, Alu-Pro and Rolltech, will showcase the latest generation of Multitech and Chromatech lines of warm edge spacers awarded Passivhaus certification.
Extensive space at the show will be set aside to display warm edge products, capable of ensuring the utmost in living comfort while providing maximum respect for the environment. The large family of Glass Alliance spacers adds a new product – Multitech – an innovative rigid spacer developed in the Alu-Pro and Rolltech laboratories and produced in reinforced plastic with a special multi-layer barrier. Multitech is ranked among the industry products with the highest achievable performance in linear thermal transmittance (Psi). Thanks to the extremely thin but exceptionally durable features of the multi-layer barrier to water vapor and gas, the new spacer complies with the most restrictive, current international standards, and ensures excellent performance.
It comes in all thicknesses, from 8 to 24 mm, in the following colors: Black (RAL 9004), Light Gray (RAL 7035), Titanium Gray (RAL 9023) and White (RAL 9016). Additional colors are currently being developed.
Glass Alliance is the international network composed of Fenzi, Alu-Pro and Rolltech, an industry leader with the most complete range of products for the manufacture of insulating glass. The highest levels of qualitative and performance standards are confirmed by the Passivhaus certification awarded to the Multitech and Chromatech lines of spacers. These are essential features for IG units with low environmental impact because they contribute to optimization of energy costs thanks to extremely low levels of heat loss. Internationally recognized for sustainable architecture, Passivhaus certification identifies homes with excellent living comfort and energy efficiency, and places special attention on the quality requirements for each individual component, especially windows and doors.
The vast range of Fenzi Group sealants for high performance IG systems works hand-in-glove with the Alu-Pro and Rolltech spacers. These include Thiover, the best-selling polysulphide sealant in the world, compliant with the most cutting edge standards for eco-compatibility; Butylver, the P.I.B sealant for the primary seal on IG units, now also available in Butylver TPS (thermoplastic spacer engineered for Bystronic Glass® applicators) and Butylver SS (sealant for flexible spacers) versions; Poliver, a solvent-free polyurethane used in manufacturing double- and triple-glazed IG units; and Hotver, the one-component hot melt sealant that guarantees perfect adhesion to glass and spacers.
