Duralite Superspacer insulated glass supply

 In most cases,the glass U value means the thermal conductivity of the glass center,the lower U value ,the better thermal insulation performance.But for windows and doors,the U value of Windows and doors are decided by several factors, the glass U value, aluminium profile or UPVC/wood  profile U value ,and the glass edge thermal conductivity,Glass edge thermal conductivity plays an important role in deciding the overall windows thermal insulation performance.

Most insulated glass use aluminium spacer,stainless steel spacer,and warm edge spacer .

Quanex company in Houstin,Texas designs and produces energy-efficient fenestration products,the most famous products are warm edge spacers used in insulated glass which can decrease the glass edge thermal conductivity significantly -It’s Duralite and Super spacer,which are the most typical products stands for single seal spacers and dual seal spacers.

Duralite is an insulated glass edge seal system constructed which is made with unique Composite Laminating Technology. Duralite is pre-assembled with necessary insulated glass sealing components, including sealant, spacer and desiccant to create a high-performance durable single seal spacer system.

Quanex’s Super Spacer® Standard, featuring Polymer EPDM (Ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer) construction, dependably delivers high performance for insulating glass units, including excellent resistance to ozone, weathering, water and aging, while maintaining its flexibility through wide changes in temperature and barometric pressure.

The main difference between Duralite and Super spacer are:Duralite works as single seal spacers,it’s not necessary to have secondary sealant,but for some big panels,polysulfide polysulphie  sealant will be used to enhance the IGU structural performance.

Super spacer must have secondary hot melt buytl to have better water and air tightness.

The production of both warm edge spacer can be viewed here:

Grills or,decorative bars inside glass are available to get better visual appearance.

Glass lite are standard but not limited to clear glass,low iron glass,low e glass,hard coated low e glass,triple silver low e glass to meet different energy efficient requirement.

More and more oversea clients are sourcing professional China warm edge spacer glass manufacturers,but in most cases,the factories producing warm edge IGU are mostly produce decorative glass.There’s no large scale factories specializing in producing warm edge spacer IGU.

Morn will invest in this new insulated glass and introduce dual straight lines to produce the warm edge spacer insulated glass,the equipment will include:

Washing machine,transit lines,insulating line,hot pressing lines.

Frameless vs Framed Shower Doors

 Bathrooms are integral in every home and so, shower areas are. This is the area that allows maintaining personal time hygiene. However, adding a personal touch to your bathroom and shower area can enhance the value of your property. Irrespective of your style preferences and bathroom design, shower doors are the most basic decision to take. There are different types of shower doors available in the market. However, framed and frameless shower doors are the most common ones. To know more about each type of shower door let’s indulge in a deep comparison of frameless vs. framed shower doors.

Pros and Cons of Framed Glass Shower Doors

Framed shower doors come up with frames for the support of the basic structure. Glass is the most common material to be used in framed shower doors. While the material of frames varies. Common options for shower doors frames are chrome, aluminum, nickel, and bronze. The frame is incorporated in different parts of shower doors such as joints, sides, and tops.

Pros of Framed Glass Shower Doors

1- More flexible option

The incorporated frames in glass shower doors make this type of shower doors more adaptable and flexible to different sizes and styles of bathrooms. This is one of the most amazing benefits of framed shower doors. It is because shower doors are designed with wider specifications.

2- Better suited for off-square shower area walls

The added frames in this type of glass shower doors make them suitable and more functional for different circumstances. It is most significant to indicate that framed shower doors are well-suited for off square shower areas. Even, you can fit these shower doors in an existing shower door tray with some modifications.

3- Allows design and style statement modification

Framed glass shower doors are now available in more design and styles. Over time, these designs are adding more to make a perfect style statement. Not only these can be better for style modifications but also these shower doors are sturdy enough. As the frame of these doors provides extra support. 

4- Cost-effective

Framed glass shower doors are now available in more design and styles. Over time, these designs are adding more to make a perfect style statement. Not only these can be better for style modifications but also these shower doors are sturdy enough. As the frame of these doors provides extra support. 

4- Cost-effective

Frames are not specifically incorporated in this shower doors’ type. While textured or tempered glass is being used in these shower doors. These doors are supported with the pivots only which are incorporated into the design. 

Pros of Frameless Shower Doors

1- Versatility

Although frameless shower doors come up with the minimalist design but these can perfectly fit into any bathroom style. Furthermore, these shower doors are easily available in custom sizing which makes them more versatile and flexible.

2- Easier cleaning

Cons of Frameless Shower Doors

  • These shower doors are more expensive than framed doors. 
  • The absence of insulating material can cause water leakage. 
  • It contains a risk of spontaneously shattering if exposed to excess pressure and heat.

Cost Comparison

Both framed and frameless shower doors vary tremendously in terms of costs. Numerous factors play an important role in this cost variation. Some of the most common factors are given below:

  • Size of the shower door 
  • Whether the product is custom or stock 
  • Type of glass used in the shower door 
  • Height of your shower door 

All these factors can make it difficult to have an exact comparison of cost for both framed and frameless shower doors. In any case, custom doors can lead you to higher costs. However, if you are going to compare both of these custom doors’ types generally, then a frameless shower door can be an expensive option as compared to framed ones. Using either fixed, French, or hinge opening with a frameless shower door can cause about a 3x higher cost than a framed shower door. Even more, the installation costs of frameless shower doors are also higher. 

Framed Door Properties

Framed shower doors feature frames surrounding textured or tempered glass sheets. The frames are coated to create nickel, bronze, chrome, or gold. The metal surrounds partition’s operable parts as well as other enclosure parts. Sweeps, seals, and magnetic hardware around the door can help to create a watertight fit.

Frameless Door Properties

These shower doors are relying on special pivots to support the structural part and heavy-duty glass material. These doors are free from metal around their operable part. However, some options may include metal tracks along with enclosure parts.

Semi Frameless Shower Doors

Semi-frameless shower doors contain metal frames around their entire structure but not around the complete door. Therefore, these are known as semi-frameless. 

This is the detailed comparison of framed vs frameless shower doors, which can let you have a better idea about which option can suit the best to your needs with ease.
