If your problem is reducing thermal conductivity and avoiding condensation around the edge of a pane of insulating glass, thus transforming the system into a barrier against the cold, your solution goes by the name of Chromatech and comes from Denmark. Rolltech in Hjoriing, sister company in the Fenzi group and member of Glass Alliance, is a centre for research into the most innovative technologies for the industrial production of metal profiles for insulating glass, and has developed two innovative profile models for solving the warm edge problem. Chromatech (with thickness of 0.18 mm) and Chromatech plus (thickness of 0.15 mm) are made in stainless steel, a material which guarantees considerably higher performances compared to those of aluminium and galvanised steel, traditionally used in this type of application. Chromatech stainless steel has in fact heat transmission of 14.3 W/mK, while that of galvanised steel is 50W/mK and aluminium 200 W/mK. However this is not the only factor which makes stainless steel the ideal solution for the warm edge – there is also that of safety: metal has been used for producing insulating glass for over 10 years and has demonstrated its total reliability; unlike plastic materials, there is no system risk. Both Chromatech and Chromatech plus can be bent and meet the requirements of EN 1279 (parts 2 and 3), to be considered essential for a European market presence in a future which is now not too distant.
As mentioned, Glass Alliance is the organisation for the production and distribution worldwide of all that is required for producing insulating glass, set up by the Fenzi Group together with the sister companies Rolltech and Alu-Pro, also specialised in the production of aluminium profiles.
