A spacer is provided for an insulating glazing unit that includes at least two spaced-apart glazing panes connected along their edges via the spacer in a mounted state in which the spacer is mounted at the edges to limit an interspace, which is defined between the glazing planes and is filled with gas. The spacer has an inner wall () connecting side walls () on an inner side that faces the interspace. The inner wall () includes a recess portion () that enables the length of the inner wall to change in the width direction in response to an external pressure force or an external tensional force applied to the side walls ().

Climate stress compensating spacer

A spacer for a multi-pane insulating glazing unit includes a spacer body made from a first material with first and second hollow desiccant chambers extending in a longitudinal direction and a longitudinal groove between the first and second chambers open to a first side of the spacer for holding an intermediate pane of the glazing unit, the groove being delimited in a width direction by first and second side walls and having a bottom wall, and the spacer body having a gas barrier on a second side opposite the first side. The first side wall and/or the second side wall and/or the bottom wall of the groove include at least two electrically conductive portions electrically isolated from each other and configured to make electrical contact with at least one electrical contact of the intermediate pane.

Spacer for photovoltaic applications

A spacer profile for a spacer frame of an insulating pane unit includes a hollow profile body made of plastic with a chamber defined therein. The hollow profile body extends in a longitudinal direction and includes an inner wall, an outer wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, which are connected to the inner and outer walls to form the chamber. First and second reinforcing layers made of a metallic material respectively extend on the first and second side walls and partially on the outer wall so as to be spaced apart by a first distance. A diffusion barrier layer is formed directly on the outer wall between the first and second reinforcing layers and is connected thereto in a diffusion-proof manner in order to form a heat-insulating diffusion barrier. An insulating pane unit includes at least two panes with such a spacer frame disposed therebetween.

Spacer profile and insulating pane unit having such a spacer profile

A spacer profile for use as a spacer frame in an insulating window unit includes a profile body made of a synthetic material and having an inner wall, an outer wall and sidewalls, which define a chamber for hygroscopic material. A diffusion barrier layer is made of a first metal material and has a first tensile strength and a first thickness. The diffusion barrier layer is disposed at least on or in the outer wall and at least a portion of the sidewalls. A reinforcement layer is made of a second metallic material and has a second tensile strength and a second thickness. The reinforcement layer is formed in the inner wall or on the side of the inner wall, which is directed towards the chamber. The multiplication product of the second thickness and the second tensile strength is preferably greater than the multiplication product of the first thickness and the first tensile strength.

Spacer profile having a reinforcement layer

A spacer profile () for a spacer profile frame mountable in the edge area of an insulating window unit for forming an intervening space () between window panes (), has a profile body () made of synthetic material and comprises one or more chambers () for accommodating hygroscopic material. A metal film () encloses the profile body on three-sides such that, in the bent/assembled state of the spacer profile, the non-enclosed inner side of the profile body is directed towards the intervening space between the window panes. The not-enclosed inner side of the profile body comprises openings () for moisture exchange between hygroscopic material accommodated in the chamber(s) and the intervening space between the window panes. The metal film comprises a profile (--) on each end directed towards the intervening space of the window panes. Each profile has at least one edge or bend.
