10 to 1 it’s Intercept

With 10 billion feet of PPG’s Intercept Spacer Systems having been incorporated into IG units globally, compared to only 1 billion feet by its nearest competitor, it is clear that Intercept is the Warm Edge spacer of choice by far.

The reasons for this success are many and varied:
Intercept has intrinsic visual aesthetics more in keeping with traditional (albeit lesser performing) spacers that are nevertheless doubtless superior to black rubber or grey foam spacers, and, consequently, more readily accepted by consumers

Intercept Spacer Systems, due to the patented U shape design are more durable under thermal stresses than any other system, and, more often than not, come with a lifetime Warranty

Georgian bar grids are precisely located into position compared to manual clip-on and visual line-up that is necessary with rubber or foam spacers

Intercept Spacer Systems equally retain insulating gases and impede moisture vapour penetration due to being manufactured from a metal alloy and with a superior seal that effectively bonds to the glass

Fabricators of Intercept Spacer Systems benefit massively from productivity gains, lower costs, and processing efficiencies throughout the order to delivery cycle

Peter Baka, Business Development Manager at Intercept processing machinery developer GED Integrated Solutions, explains:

“GED has, since 1992, developed increasingly sophisticated levels of glass processing equipment and software in order to take full advantage of this superior Warm Edge spacer.

“Our latest i-3 processing technology offers previously unheard of capabilities of up to 3,000 units per 8-hour shift and cost savings of up to £3 per unit.

“These are serious numbers that are producing record levels of profitability for Intercept Spacer Systems fabricators. No wonder that 8 out of the US Top 10 fabricators use Intercept.”
