Thin triple the focus for Edgetech

Edgetech presented ‘thin triple’ technology at Vitrum 2025, the four-day exhibition held in Milan, as well as showcasing its latest product developments and highlighting its role in driving efficiency and innovation in IGU production.

This year’s stand theme, ‘Efficiency has many dimensions,’ centred around the versatility and forward-looking capabilities of Edgetech’s Super Spacer range. Its thin triple glazing technologies are said to have attracted ‘widespread interest’ from fabricators, specifiers and industry professionals from across Europe and beyond.

“Vitrum 2025 has been a real highlight in our calendar,” said Mike Moran, vice president of sales at Edgetech/Quanex. “There was a genuine appetite from visitors to explore smarter, more efficient ways of producing insulating glass, and we were proud to demonstrate how Super Spacer can support that transformation.”

He adds that thin triple units, or ‘Skinny Triples’, were of particular interest. Visitors were keen to learn how, when combined with Super Spacer and produced on Forel’s modified high speed line, thin triple units, or ‘Skinny Triples’, can now be manufactured without significant additional investment.

“The fact that Super Spacer can be applied with such precision to the thin centre pane is a key feature of these ultra-efficient IGUs,” Mike said. “Tolerances of well under a millimetre ensure consistent quality, and with over 65% weight reduction and compatibility with standard 70mm frames, thin triples are a growth market.”

Also showcased was Super Spacer T-Spacer SG, designed for demanding structural glazing and gaining traction among architects in Europe seeking maximum transparency in modern façades.

Mike added. “The level of engagement, especially around automation, sustainability, and energy efficiency, confirms that our products are aligned with where the market is headed next.”
