TPS® – Thermo Plastic Spacer

The original from the inventor

 

TPS

 

TPS® – Thermo Plastic Spacer is the premium insulating glass of the warm edge generation. The term „Warm Edge“ refers to a thermally-improved edge seal of an insulating glass unit. Materials that transfer significantly less thermal heat to the outside are used in place of the conventionally-used materials such as aluminium or steel. This leads to an increase in energy efficiency and to a reduction in heating costs. Furthermore, TPS® reduces condensation.



Since 1994, we have accrued experience in warm edge technology. Bystronic glass is an industry leader as the inventor of TPS® production. So you can rely upon production of the future, placing your trust in this original product as well as our extensive experience.
