What is “warm edge” technology and how does it affect thermal efficiency?
“Warm edge” technology makes the glass window unit the strongest, longest lasting and most thermally efficient glass unit on the market today. The Intercept process developed by PPG is the most state of the art insulated glass spacer system available, and is standard in all our manufacturers window products. It is an insulated space system using a one-piece U-shaped 3 channel to maintain consistent space between the two panes of glass. This U-shaped system reduces the transfer of heat and cold and makes the entire unit stronger and more energy-efficient. Unlike many of the most popular insulated spacer systems, Intercept forces the gas inside of the window’s insulated glass unit to stay in and helps to keep moisture out.
