MAJOR MANUFACTURING MILESTONE
» » MARKET-LEADING FABRICATOR

manufacturing milestone.
Over ten years of partnership with
Edgetech, Sternfenster have produced over
one million IG units using Super Spacer warm
edge spacer technology.
Sternfenster, the Lincoln fabricator behind
fast-growing installation business Starglaze, has
built itself into one of the industry’s biggest
and most respected brands through more than
four decades of hard work and innovation.
Today, the firm supplies a comprehensive
selection of PVCu windows and doors using
Deceuninck’s 2500 and 2800 profile systems,

and high-performance aluminium products
from Smarts.
“We’ve benefitted hugely from our
relationship with Edgetech,” commented
Sternfenster MD Mike Parczuk. “Super Spacer
hasn’t just dramatically improved the thermal
performance of the units we produced.
“Super Spacer doesn’t need to be cut into
bar length form, it comes pre-dessicated, and
it doesn’t need a PIB primary seal applied.
Taken altogether, it’s helped revolutionise our
manufacturing process, and helped us grow
from strength to strength.”
Chris Alderson, Edgetech MD commented:
“It’s fantastic to reach such a momentous
milestone with Sternfenster. It’s been a
privilege working with one of the most
forward-thinking, quality-driven businesses
in UK fenestration.”
