Hi,
I am working on a lifecycle cost study on advanced glazing. I am looking for a typical warm edge / premium spacer to use as a reference / baseline in the study. Does anyone have a suggestion, and any info such as a drawing (dxf etc) or THERM file that they could share?
Thanks,

The Frameplus Online tool is great for analyzing different
glazings. You have the option of different spacers, argon or air
fill, different thermal breaks in the aluminum curtainwall or window
framing. It offers curtain wall, fixed window, and
casement/awning. The report gives centre of glass U, overall Uvalue,
etc. The bottom of the report provides the equest performance values.
