Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer –
a superior product now in stock!
it offers longevity within a
sealed unit without blistering or
cracking; and there are no volatiles
within the product. Thermoflex
rubber also has a lower thermal
conductivity value than EPDM.
Thermoseal Group MD,
Gwain Paterson tells us: “We
are extremely proud to officially
launch our new flexible spacer
system, Thermoflex. It has been a
huge learning curve to develop a
complex rubber spacer system and

Thermoseal Group has
announced it now has stocks
of its new warm edge spacer –
Thermoflex.
Thermoflex warm edge spacer is a
pre-desiccated flexible elastomeric
foam spacer system incorporating
a unique gas barrier tape and
pre-applied structural adhesive
side tape. Thermoflex elastomeric
foam rubber is a superior product
in that it offers better UV stability
than competitive EPDM products;

much of our machinery is bespoke
so we’ve taken our time to ensure
that we have perfected a premium
product.”
Thermoflex is available in black
in sizes from 6mm to 20mm.
Additional colours will available
