Meet Glenn the Glass Guy! Glenn is Vitro Architectural Glass’ (formerly PPG glass) biggest glass and window enthusiast! He knows that every component that goes into making a window is important. This includes what type of window spacer is used to separate the panes of glass. Join Glenn in his lab as he puts the Intercept® Stainless Steel Spacers to the test against foam spacers.
Glenn tests the strength of a Intercept® Stainless Steel Spacer versus a typical foam spacer and explains why one looks better than the other when it sits inside a double pane window.
Glenn illustrates how the Intercept® Stainless Steel Spacer’s durability helps it to retain a window’s insulating gas with his microscope and a very common household toy.
Glenn looks closely at thermal images of windows with Intercept® Stainless Steel Spacers versus those with foam spacers and sees something that may surprise you.
Windows manufactured with the Intercept® Stainless Steel Spacer system are the better choice for residential windows. Not only do they offer the same protection against the elements as windows with foam spacers, they also are a stronger, more attractive and more durable choice for any home in any climate.
