Pyroguard and profile manufacturer Technoform UK come together to launch the Technoform SP14 hybrid steel/polypropylene spacer bar that is tested by Warringtonfire (UK) and Efectis (FR) to comply with BS EN 1364.
The warm edge spacers are suitable for use in conjunction with Pyroguard’s fire rated IGUs and are included as standard with many of Pyroguard’s (IGU) constructions.
Pyroguard’s Andy Lake said: “Sustainability and energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly critical factor for architects and specifiers. Across the glazing industry, we are seeing warm edge spacers being specified with increasing frequency, helping to reduce the thermal bridging of the system. Our partnership with Technoform and our extensive testing programme has enabled us to now bring this improved thermal performance to the fire safety glass sector, combining safety with sustainability.
“We’re very proud to be the first fire safety glass manufacturer to offer this performance upgrade as standard in the market.”
CE and UKCA approved, the new warm edge spacers are compatible with many of Pyroguard’s products. Available in widths from 12 – 22 mm, the spacers are also manufactured in various colours, including black.
