anniversary on 1 December 2014.

During the presentation, there
was a live demonstration to show
how fast, easy and clean TruFit is
to install.
TruSieve desiccant was the
third product addition. It gives
IGU manufacturers a reliable and
superior quality desiccant with
high adsorption capacity, keeping
the unit free from moisture.
The final product was
TruShield. It is a high quality
coating that bonds to glass and
makes it easy to clean. Unlike
many other products, TruShield
doesn’t depend on specific
environmental conditions. This
means it will work in all locations,
including north-facing windows
as well as those in the sun, so
the benefits will be seen even on
shaded glass.
The product launch was part
of the silver jubilee celebrations

with next generation, high
performance products,” said
Andy Jones, Managing Director
of Edgetech UK.
At the launch, official thermal
test results for its new foam
spacer were revealed as 0.13W/
m2K, making Super Spacer
Alpha the best performing warm
edge spacer in the world.
Edgetech also launched
TruFit, warm edge for windows.
It’s an expanding tape that
perfectly seals around the frame
to the brickwork making the
complete installation energy
efficient and weathertight. So
much of the UK’s housing stock
is older and it’s difficult to get a
good fit all round. TruFit reduces
heat loss by up to 23 percent at
the edge of the frame and saves
up to 20 percent fitting time,
making it cost effective for both
homeowner and installer.
