Insulated Glass Units
Our IGU’s consist of two or more glass lites separated by a spacer bar that creates a hermetically sealed cavity filled with air or argon gas to reduce heat transfer and improve energy performance.
Garibaldi offers both traditional aluminum and warm-edge spacer systems, as well as our advanced Reactive TPS® technology, a robotically applied thermoplastic spacer that chemically bonds to the glass. This innovative system delivers exceptional argon retention, structural durability, and a refined aesthetic that seamlessly complements any frame colour.
Backed by extensive research and development, our IGUs are available in a range of configurations, including premium sputter-coated post-temperable products, Low-E, tinted, reflective, annealed, laminated, and tempered thermal units. Each is engineered to meet evolving performance standards while supporting architectural freedom and long-term reliability.
Reactive TPS® Spacer System Highlights
- Chemically bonds to the glass surface for long-term structural integrity
- Fully automated robotic application ensures precision and repeatability
- Exceptional argon retention enhances energy efficiency and longevity
- Seamless aesthetic blends naturally with any frame colour for a clean, modern edge
- Ideal for jumbo-size IGUs and complex shapes
- Compatible with Low-E, laminated, and coated glass configurations
Traditional Spacer System Highlights
