Check out Helen Sanders' latest article in USGlass Magazine®, titled "IGU Lifetime: Criteria for Ensuring Sealant-Spacer Adhesion." In it, she explores why the adhesion of the secondary sealant to the spacer is crucial for extending the life of insulating glass units (IGUs).

We can all learn a lot from this year’s group of USGlass magazine’s Most Influential People in the Glass & Metal Industry. One of the biggest takeaways from many of the leaders on this year’s list is the importance of people. Many also pointed to the importance of networking, partnering, talent management and hiring the right people as essential for the industry’s future. The importance of the environment and sustainability, codes and standards and furthering innovation were other common themes among recipients. These individuals were nominated by their glass and glazing industry peers and selected by the editorial team. Technoform North America's Helen Sanders was chosen as one of these influential people - read about Helen and her 30 years of experience in the industry here: https://lnkd.in/gAYedvMV.
Fresh off the digital press printer, the newest issue of USGlass magazine has arrived! It features our annual list of the industry’s most influential leaders who share insights, lessons and challenges they see facing the industry. The issue also discusses the energy performance of acoustic glazing, the future of training contract glaziers and fabricators and the importance of designing above and beyond the minimum for glass railings.

Helen Sanders' August blog "Have You Looked at Your Insurance Costs Lately?" has posted on usglassmag.com. In this blog Helen discusses her thoughts the increases in home insurance and how they are being driven by many more claims from severe weather events brought about by climate change and higher rebuild costs. Insurers are abandoning some states altogether because of the rapidly escalating risks. And it is only going to get worse. Building envelopes are at the nexus of climate change mitigation and adaptation. High-performance building envelopes reduce energy use (and carbon emissions) in buildings and they are also key to creating climate-resilient buildings.

Helen Sanders joins Adrian Lowenstein, P.E., MBA and Spencer Culhane on the All Things Facades podcast to discuss facade retrofitting projects. USGlass Magazine®
Facade retrofit projects can be daunting at times and require immense planning to avoid any catastrophic surprises along the way. The question ultimately becomes, do you know what you’re getting into? Have you assessed the underlying conditions? Do you have a complete understanding of typical vs. atypical conditions and what may appear along the way? Spencer Culhane and Helen Sanders on the All Things Facades podcast with a drop of knowledge from Building Envelope Testing. USGlass Magazine®

Helen Sanders' July blog "Decarbonizing Daylight: Is Comfortable, Low-Carbon Daylighting in Buildings Possible?" has posted on usglassmag.com. In this blog Helen discusses her thoughts on the challenges to achieving comfortable, low-carbon lighting in buildings. When considering the decarbonization of lighting, the focus must first be on providing daylight rather than electric light. Real, not artificially created, daylight is needed to deliver spaces that are compatible with human health and well-being.

The optimum solution for increased thermal performance is on the edge, High-performance fenestration is a key component of delivering a comfortable and energy efficient built environment. To achieve this, a durable, thermally optimized edge bond for insulating glass is required. Incorporating Technoform’s plastic hybrid stainless steel warm edge spacer in fenestration improves thermal performance and condensation resistance without sacrificing durability or design. https://lnkd.in/e-qdviAj
Warme-Kante-Lösung für moderne Isolierglassysteme 🏢 Um den Ansprüchen moderner Isolierglassysteme gerecht zu werden, wurde unser Warme-Kante-Abstandhalter SP14 entwickelt.

An IGU spacer is far more than just a divider between glass panes - it serves a primary function in system performance & durability. ▪️Desiccant - particles that will further dry out the cavity ▪️Moister barrier - preventing moisture from entering cavity ▪️Gas seal - preventing loss of argon within cavity ▪️Adhesion surface - adequate substrate for perimeter sealant ▪️Stresses - via positive/negative pressures, thermal pressure etc. ▪️Insulator - slowing heat transfer via conduction Choose your spacer type and material wisely for insulated glass unit longevity.
