From 16 to 19 September 2025, Edgetech Europe will be showcasing its product range at Vitrum 2025. The theme of the exhibition stand is 'Efficiency has many dimensions'. The international fair team will be discussing the specific advantages of the flexible Super Spacer^® system for efficient and forward-looking insulating glass production with visitors, for example in terms of energy efficiency, process reliability and automation.

One of the main topics is the application in thin triple insulating glass, a growth market that has been emerging over the past few years due to stricter energy efficiency standards, rising energy prices, and growing environmental awareness. Until recently, technical production challenges and, above all, high investment costs and new system technology prevented widespread implementation. “Following an update, they can now be produced on Forel's fully automated High Speed Line alongside the standard profile systems and sealing solutions, as well as our flexible Super Spacer, without requiring an additional investment of millions,” explains Mike Moran, Vice President of Sales at Edgetech/Quanex.

"The fact that Super Spacer^® can be applied with such precision to the thin pane in the centre is a key feature during assembly in the insulating glass line. "The tight tolerances of well under one millimetre ensure quality in production, and 'the Skinny Triples' can give you a competitive edge, particularly in private sector window renovations," adds Mike Moran.

 

 

The second focus of the trade fair presentation is commercial glazing. The flexible spacer bar, produced in Germany and the United Kingdom, is popular with architects and discerning clients thanks to its high-quality appearance. It is increasingly specified by architects in grey to support the desire for maximum transparency in glass facades. The Super Spacer^® T-Spacer™ SG was developed for challenging structural glazing projects. Its special design ensures maximum precision in terms of parallelism and tolerances, particularly for large, multi-pane insulating glass units. The result is a robust system that meets the growing demands of commercial construction while optimally combining aesthetics and functionality.

Mike Moran is looking forward to the Vitrum exchange: 'When Edgetech launched Super Spacer in 1989, it became synonymous with the commercial breakthrough of warm edge spacers. Today, our history encompasses much more than just excellent Psi values. Whether it's energy efficiency, indoor comfort, automated production or aesthetics, our "pioneer" is incredibly versatile and future-proof."
