  1. New Global Warm Edge Technology Websites from Thermoseal Group
    13 December 2017

    After a successful year which shows a continual expansion in its export network, leading UK manufacturer and distributor of insulated glass (IG) components, Thermoseal Group, has launched Chinese Mandarin additions to its successful Thermobar and Thermoflex Warm Edge Technology multilingual websites.

    Satellite sites – www.thermobarwarmedge.com and www.thermoflexwarmedge.com – are now hosted in 7 languages including: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish and the latest Chinese additions. Both sites host the Group’s ‘Warm Comfortable Homes Video’ showcasing the advantages of warm edge technology, as well as a range of information on warm edge systems and why the Group’s spacers are premium in terms of their highest performance, preferred aesthetics and ease of use in the IG manufacturing process.

    “We began developing satellite websites as an informational and promotional tool for our two Warm Edge Spacer bars”, says Samantha Hill, Head of Marketing and Communications at Thermoseal Group. “The Chinese market for warm edge spacers is a growing market and we aim to contribute towards educating the supply chain on the advantages of warm edge technology whilst increasing our share of this market.  With two of the highest performance spacer systems and the capacity for growth, we are in a great position to become a leading supplier in this market. 

    “With comprehensive information for: IG manufacturers, Window Installers, Specifiers and Homeowners, both sites have been praised by our distributors and have now become key information points for their own promotion throughout the supply chain.  The latest additions have been launched to support our Chinese distributor. thermobarwarmedge.com  was instrumental in our promotion at China Glass in Beijing earlier this year and now with thermoflexwarmedge.com, we showcased both sites at the recent exhibitions - Fenestration BAU in Shanghai and Glasstech Asia in Singapore.

    “Thermoflex is becoming more popular in export markets now it has been proven for use on most worldwide brands of robot applicators for automated production, such as those from leading Global machinery manufacturers – Bystronic, Forel and Lisec.

    “The fact that we control the development of our spacer systems and injection-moulded fittings from initial inception of the idea throughout the manufacturing process, means that we are also ideally placed to add and adapt our range to suit market requirements.” 

    Thermobar and Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacers are both highest performance tested and proven products.  Both have Bundesverband Flachglas (BF) data sheets for windows and facades.  Thermobar has a thermal conductivity value of 0.14W/mK and can achieve a window Psi value as low as 0.029W/mk. Thermoflex is the highest performance flexible Silicone spacer system with a thermal conductivity value of 0.135W/mK achieving a window Psi value as low as 0.027W/mK.  Both spacers have also been rated phA+ for arctic climates by the Passive House Institute.

  2. New DecraLed Website and Future Developments
    1 December 2017

    Following the recent purchase of the DecraLed range of stock and assets, leading UK insulated glass (IG) component manufacturer and supplier to the window industry, Thermoseal Group, has re-launched the www.decraled.co.uk website with a simple interim site to showcase its core decorative product ranges.

    DECRA Led® adhesive lead strip and wide range of DECRA Glow® Films; DECRA Bevels®; as well as infused tiles and a multitude of decorative accessories are all part of the DecraLed range which has been manufactured to highest quality standards and developed with skills honed over 60 years in the industry before being further developed in Thermoseal Group’s multiple award-winning business.

    The Group’s Sales Director Mark Hickox tells us:  “Having taken over the DecraLed brand and full product ranges, we felt that the websites on offer didn’t do them justice, so we have quickly launched a temporary site.  This website is reflective of the design we are currently working on for a new comprehensive website which will fully showcase the entire range of decorative products we have on offer.  It is also an online shop which will enable 24-hour purchasing worldwide. Look out for this in the early part of next year which should fall in line with our plans to expand the decorative range.
     
    “Since the purchase of DecraLed, we have integrated its 2,000-plus product range into our extensive range of IG components on offer.  We have also made significant investments in enhancing the decorative manufacturing machinery and now have our own state-of-the-art design studio in Wigan. This studio will enable us to produce bespoke designs for our customers to incorporate into their own insulated glass products. This is the first in our planned developments to strengthen the DecraLed brand and provide new and innovative solutions to customers’ decorative requirements.”

    To purchase any DecraLed products, please contact Thermoseal Group now on 0845 331 3950 or Intl: +44 (0) 121 331 3950 or speak to your area sales manager.  Alternatively, e-mail your order requests to: sales@thermosealgroup.com.

    New DecraLed Website and Future Developments
  3. Thermoseal Group – From Inception to Perfection
    16 November 2017

    The UK’s leading manufacturer and distributor of over 2,000 insulated glass components, Thermoseal Group, has introduced a brand new advertising campaign to showcase its highest performance warm edge spacers – Thermobar and Thermoflex.

    The first of two advertisements, ‘From Inception to Perfection’ features a diagram of a triple glazing unit showing the two flagship spacer systems with their green and orange brand colours running through – Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer Tube (Green) and Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer Silicone rubber system (Orange).  The essence of the campaign is to highlight Thermoseal Group’s dedication to innovation, manufacturing and quality control of its spacers right from initial inception of the idea, through product development and then throughout the manufacturing process to packaging and delivery to the customer.

    The second advertisement ‘British Brands Globally Recognised’ features a globe highlighting orange and green paths of delivery of Thermobar and Thermoflex products from the UK throughout the world. The delivery paths shown on the advertisement are a representation of the directions of travel of its world-class products.

    Thermoseal Group’s Head of Marketing and Communications, Samantha Hill, tells us: “When it comes to advertising, we have always concentrated on pure facts of what our products offer with representative drawings of our spacers showcased in double and triple glazing units.  Our statements about product performance are then backed up by industry-recognised independent performance figures.  We will always continue to present pure fact, but feel that our new advertising goes one step further in highlighting who we are as a business. 

    “Following huge investment in our technical expertise and equipment, as well as manufacturing and the infrastructure of the business, we can completely control the quality of our products from initial inception of the idea.  We design and develop our own products in-house; we test all of our products in our own laboratory and then in our EN1279 test centre to European and International standards before submitting them for independent testing; we source only the best raw materials; we compound all of our own materials in-house; we have strict quality control procedures in place; we ensure our products are packed, packaged and bar-coded straight from our production and then we deliver the goods to the UK market on our own fleet of vehicles. 

    “We also felt that our new advertising should showcase the multitude of awards we have won over the past 12 months, including our prided Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2017.  These awards really are well deserved and the many awards for export are the reason for the second of our two advertisements.  Our world-class products are now purchased in 27 countries across five continents, this is already more than the 22 countries stated in our advertising, and we have trials running further afield.  We wanted to showcase how we are making an impact in export markets by offering two of the ‘best in class’ products.

    “If you haven’t already trialled our products, you may not yet know that Thermobar and Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacers have achieved thermal ratings of 0.14W/mK and 0.135W/mK respectively and have available Bundesverband Flachglas data sheet Psi values for windows and façade profiles.  Both products also are also listed on the Passive House Institute Component Database and achieve phA+ ratings.  The feedback we have received on our products has been outstanding in terms of usability, aesthetics and performance, and as a result they are the products of preference for many UK sealed unit manufacturers.”

    “Come and see us at the show where we will have a range of product samples including samples of our latest editions to the Thermobar Interbar and Thermobar Duplex Systems in a variety of sizes.  Our newest editions are 6mm x 18mm, 11.5mm x 22mm and 15.5mm x 22mm sizes in black, grey and white.”

    With 38 years supplying to the window industry, Thermoseal Group supplies to the majority of IG manufacturers in the UK and now to a range of export customers in 22 countries across 5 continents.  Its long-standing service to the industry is a direct result of its focus on customers and ability to respond quickly to market demand. 

    The Group’s Head of Marketing and Communications, Samantha Hill, tells us:  “The data collected is invaluable to our continual efforts to provide a premium service to customers.  As any intelligent supplier would do, we value our customers and take all feedback on board to improve our products and service.  As we have increased our focus on manufacturing, working with customers has become more important to us in developing our products to suit current manufacturing methods, whilst ensuring we offer industry-leading product performance.  This is why we have set up our own Technical Centre and EN1279 test facilities to ensure that we continually enhance our products, closely monitor the quality and focus on innovating new products to futureproof our offering.  

    “The Customer Satisfaction Survey is just part of what we do to ensure that we maintain 2-way communication with our customers.  Our dedicated account managers continually seek customer feedback and work closely with our technical centre and branch operations to improve our products and service.  We also have a range of product trials running with a selection of our long-standing customers to ensure that the products we introduce into the market are worthy of our industry-leading status.   

    “Our survey is distributed to all of our customers and contains a range of questions relating to our products and service.  There are also some key questions in there seeking opinions on the industry and future plans.  This way we can work with them to ensure that we continue to meet their requirements.  In the latest survey, we achieved the highest customer ratings yet, with the average overall rating of 96% with the knowledge and capability of our sales team commended throughout.  We are obviously delighted with the results.  

    “Our customers gave us some invaluable product feedback and suggestions for future innovation which we are currently reviewing in line with our plans to develop new products. The service feedback was also extremely helpful and as a result we are already putting new systems and processes in place to ensure that we offer the best service available.  Part of these plans include a new delivery tracking system and a premium website with a range of new services to improve the way we interact with our customers. We are also working with customers to carry out presentations and tailored training on our Thermobar and Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer Systems and their contribution in the production of highest performance IG units.

  6. Celebrations at Thermoseal Group for Honoured Queen’s Award Presentation
    18 September 2017

    The Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2017 has now been presented to Thermoseal Group by Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, Mr Warren J Smith KStJ JP at an event hosted at the Group’s Manufacturing and Distribution Site, which also houses the Group’s expanding Technical Centre.

    Almost 100 guests attended the event to witness the presentation of the award, followed by a tour of the Group’s Thermobar and Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer Manufacturing Sites, its new Decraled decorative design studios, as well as its Technical Centre and EN1279 facilities.

    Thermoseal Group now supplies its highest performance warm edge spacers to 22 countries in 5 continents and trials of the products are currently being carried out worldwide.  The Group is the only UK insulated glass (IG) component manufacturer to produce both a rigid tube spacer and a flexible silicone foam spacer in-house.  From initial inception of the design, through mixture of raw materials and production of the products to final delivery to the customer, the whole process is subject to Thermoseal Group’s rigorous quality control procedures.

    Samantha Hill, Thermoseal Group’s Head of Marketing and Communications said: “We were delighted to share our special day with customers and guests from the industry, who joined as many of our Thermoseal Group colleagues as could attend to join the celebrations. 

    “As well as many UK insulated glass (IG) sealed unit manufacturers, journalists and industry contacts, we were also joined by customers from Europe and the Far East. 

    “The actual presentation was carried out in a marquee erected on our Wigan Site where we gave our guests Pimms on arrival, as well as a range of refreshments and a selection of food served by a high-profile local catering company.”      

    As Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant presented the impressive award which was accompanied by a scroll signed personally by The Queen, he said:  “These awards are not easily earned.  This year only 102 Awards for International Trade have been made nationally, and yours is one of 8 in the West Midlands (where the Group’s Head office is based).  The award is not to an individual, not to the management but to the whole workforce.”

    Thermoseal Group’s Managing Director, Gwain Paterson accepted the award with fellow Director Mark Hickox standing firmly at his side. A large part of Gwain’s speech was a big thank you to all colleagues involved in the Group’s continued growth.  He said:   “Without you all Thermoseal Group would not be the same.  You built up everything around us and your hard work and can-do attitude has contributed to our success - that goes for everyone within the organisation. 

    “It is often very humbling to see the some of the efforts my colleagues go to too achieve the right results.  Mark and I started to list all those colleagues we wanted to thank, but the list became far too long and we didn’t want to miss anyone out, so to all the Thermosealians out there thank you.

    We would also like to thank all our customers, particularly those who attended the event. We thank you for your support, confidence and encouragement, without which we would not be selling the volume of spacer we do today.

    “There is a high demand for DecraLed coated products from International customers and we expect to develop this export business alongside our Thermobar and Thermoflex Warm Edge product ranges.

    “To date, we manufacture over 50% of the products we supply which also includes Perma Led Adhesive Lead which we purchased in 1999.

  11. Thermobar 4mm – A New Solution for High Performance Heritage Windows
    1 June 2017

    Thermoseal Group, the UK’s leading manufacturer and distributor of highest performance warm edge spacers, has developed a new warm edge solution for insulated glass (IG) manufacturers looking to construct double glazing units with narrow cavities for Heritage-style windows.

    New 4mm Thermobar, as well as providing a narrow solution to make slimline units, also has a spacer profile height of 5.5mm (as opposed to the standard 6.5mm) to give a slimmer sightline at the edge of the unit to fit into the window rebate.  This is to suit applications where smaller and narrower window frames are required in the restoration and replication of traditional style windows.  

    Listed properties, historic buildings, conservation areas and replacement and refurbishment projects are typical applications where there is a requirement to ensure that any updates to the premises are authentic and in-keeping with the original style.  

    The Group’s Sales Director Mark Hickox, announced: “Following customer feedback on our previous Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer with a 4mm air cavity, we reduced the profile height and redesigned the product to give a more feasible solution to producing dual seal warm edge window units for heritage applications.  

    “A dual sealed unit is made with a primary butyl sealant and secondary edge sealant (in this case Hot Melt) which increases the distance of the path for moisture to penetrate through the sealant into the unit thus maximising the lifetime of the unit.  

    “Our Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer and Accessories range has been extremely popular both in the UK and now for export.  Thermobar spacer is one of the highest performing warm edge solutions available on the market.  It has a thermal efficiency value of 0.14W/mK which is certified on its Bundesverband Flachglas Data Sheets and has a Passive House component rating of phA+.  Our 4mm Spacer tube is ideal for those looking to produce a dual sealed edge in their heritage units and we have already received a great deal of interest in this product.”

  12. Thermoseal Group Wins The Queen’s Honoured UK Award
    27 April 2017

    The Queen’s Awards winners were publicly announced by Her Majesty The Queen on Friday 21st April 2017 when UK leading manufacturer and supplier of insulated glass components - Thermoseal Group – were proclaimed winner of The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise: International Trade 2017.

    The Queen’s Awards are the UK’s most prestigious business awards to celebrate and encourage business excellence in the UK.  Following The Queen’s public announcement winners are permitted to fly The Queen’s Awards flags across their UK sites and are invited to offer input into the development and delivery of policies across Whitehall.  Winners are invited to a Palace Reception later in the year.  The Lord-Lieutenant of the County, The Queen’s local representative will then present the award at an agreed date later in the year.  Each Award is formally conferred by a Grant of Appointment and is symbolised by the presentation of a trophy. 

    Gwain Paterson, Managing Director at Thermoseal Group, tells us:  “I’m honoured to accept such a great compliment to the business and recognition for all of the efforts of my colleagues over the past few years.  

    “It is of course, with thanks to our customers for their continued support that we have achieved such an esteemed accolade.  It has been an excellent year for us with awards coming in thick and fast.  We are therefore looking to host a party for customers and staff who will be invited to join us in celebrating on the day that our award is presented when we will display our trophy and fly The Queen’s Awards flag with pride. 

    “Since our initial plan to develop the business from primarily UK distribution of imported products to manufacturing warm edge spacer bars and injection moulding all of our own fittings, I rarely get time to sit back and look at what a great business we are building and how impressive it is.  We have been focussed on setting up production sites and developing our own bespoke equipment and processes, as well as our innovation centre and laboratory facilities, and then upscaling everything to meet the growing demand. In addition, we have done all this whilst developing the infrastructure of the business, up-skilling our current staff and taking on a whole production team.  We have seen steady growth over the past few years, but particularly in the past year we have really started to make an impact on export markets, some of which where our products are already the leading warm edge option. 

    “We now manufacture over 50% of the products we supply as opposed to less than 5% in 2008. In terms of export, we ship to over 22 different countries in Europe, USA, South America, Asia, Australia and Oceania.  Growth in export has been significant over the past year and is set to continue in the future. Although I’m not generally the kind of person to blow my own trumpet, our awards successes so far prove that our business is impressive in any industry and my colleagues deserve the recognition for their continued efforts and dedication to building Thermoseal Group.  I’d like to say a personal thank you to everyone involved in our successes to date.”

    Thermoseal Group Wins The Queen’s Honoured UK Award
  13. Get your Free Reel of Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer Now!
    14 March 2017

    A free trial of Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer is now being offered by Thermoseal Group, giving potential customers the opportunity to sample the UK’s highest performance flexible spacer with a lowest thermal conductivity rating of 0.135W/mK. Interested participants are encouraged to contact the Thermoseal Group sales team whilst this offer remains available. 

    Thermoseal Group is the UK’s multiple award-winning manufacturer and supplier of warm edge spacers and over 1,500 insulated glass (IG) components for use in the manufacture of premium IG units. The Group Sales Director, Mark Hickox, says: “After much investment to ensure its superiority, we are delighted to be able to offer UK sealed unit manufacturers this opportunity”. 

    “Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer achieves the highest Passive House rating of phA+ for arctic climates and the best edge resistance within the Passive House component database of spacers – 6.30m K/W. Psi values are as low as 0.027 W/mK and are the result of continual investments in equipment and skills for testing and benchmarking Thermoflex in comparison to that of other leading flexible spacers.  

    “The nearest competitor thermal conductivity value is 0.15W/mK (as opposed to 0.135W/mK for Thermoflex), which means that Thermoflex can be exchanged within current Window Energy Rating (WER) simulations whereas competitor products cannot be exchanged within a WER incorporating Thermoflex warm edge spacer without a new simulation being required. 

    “Our innovation centre has enviable test facilities and we have employed specialists with the technical skills to test all of our products to exacting standards from the initial compounding of the raw materials, right through the process to packaging and delivery to the customers. Our testing gives us the confidence that our products will pass both independent tests and maintain the integrity of the compounded desiccant within the spacer as it continues to perform throughout the lifetime of the insulated glass sealed unit. 

    “We understand that the quality of the raw materials is crucial in securing the highest standard of spacer” says Mark. “As well as being produced from the highest quality materials, Thermoflex is also compounded and processed in the exact way to ensure the right tensile and compression properties and UV stability. We are continually investing in new technology and methods to improve and develop this product”.

    For your free trial of Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer, contact your Area Sales Manager now, or call 0845 331 3950 (Intl: 0044 121 331 3950) or email sales@thermosealgroup.com.  Terms and conditions apply.

    The whole project was approached with a focus on developing products which are competitive in the worldwide market and rivalling large international brands. Both Thermobar and Thermoflex are industry‐leading products in terms of thermal efficiency, (Passive House Approved with highest ratings and can achieve A++ Window Energy), aesthetics and manufacturability.

    In 2015, Thermoseal Group saw a 95% increase in export business coming from its expanding network of customers – many of which are distributors in 22 countries within Asia; Australia and Oceania; Europe; North America and South America.  This year, the Group will achieve 100% growth in export sales and plan to significantly increase export sales in 2017.  

    “We are so excited to receive such a prestigious award”, says Samantha Hill, Group Marketing Manager.  “What better recognition for our export brand presence than to be endorsed by such a well-respected business as Amazon.  It’s been a great year for awards in recognition of the hard work of all of our teams here at Thermoseal Group and we are all spurred on to continually improve the products and service that we provide.

    Thank you to all of our customers and particularly the ones who have given us feedback to be able to develop our products and service and expand the warm edge range we offer.

  16. Morley Glass 2-Part Investments for Future Growth
    20 October 2016

    Morley Glass & Glazing Ltd at Bruntcliffe Way in Leeds has recently loaded its new £1 million premises with new equipment to manufacture its highest quality insulated glass (IG) sealed units with Kommerling 2-part Polysulphide Sealant from Thermoseal Group.  

    As one of the Region’s largest glass merchants and manufacturers of IG units, Morley Glass has seen 30% year-on-year growth due to the focus on quality, customer service and its dedication to staff.

    Morley Glass’ Managing Director, Ian Short told us: “We decided to change to a 2-part Polysulphide sealant to meet Kite Mark approval for our customers. Our main proviso in our choice of sealant was an established industry-leading brand delivered by a reliable supplier. Our new building gave us the space for a range of additional IG manufacturing equipment from Best Makina, which includes: a complete production line with Robot Gun; 2 spacer saws; 2 PIB machines; a static mixing machine and a new 2-part machine for use with Kommerling GD116 Polysulphide supplied by Thermoseal Group.”  

    Ian continues:  “We only work with the best suppliers and have been really impressed with the commitment and support we have received from Best Makina in setting our equipment up to work with our chosen IG components.  And because of their commitment, we will now showcase their machinery for other UK manufacturers to view.  

    “Following the testing of Kommerling GD116 in their 2-part machinery, Best Makina engineers were impressed with how great the sealant is and how well it runs through their machinery, so much so that they are now recommending this brand to other customers.

    “We chose to purchase our sealant from Thermoseal Group to guarantee the reliable delivery of a premium product from a leading UK supplier who has a friendly, supportive and dedicated approach to meeting our business needs.”

  19. Watch the New ' Warm Comfortable Home' Video from Thermoseal Group
    5 July 2016

    Thermoseal Group, the UK’s leading manufacturer of warm edge spacers and supplier of over 1,500 insulated glass (IG) components has launched a public video to showcase the advantages of its highest performance Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers to homeowners.  Watch the ‘Warm Comfortable Home’ video now at: http://www.thermosealgroup.com/news/details/154/watch-our-new-warm-comfortable-homes-video

    Introducing the benefits of Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers, the video commences within a warm comfortable home with a family calculating their energy bills.  It then showcases Thermobar and Thermoflex by zooming into a simulated home and through clever graphics it deconstructs a window down to the spacer bar within the glazing unit.

    Quoting figures such as “Up to 80% of energy loss through a window occurs at its edge” and “Warm edge glazing is up to 65% warmer at the edge than traditional windows” the video tells homeowners about the real issues relating to poorly insulated windows and how Thermobar and Thermoflex help to minimise the energy loss through the edge of window glazing to keep the heat in or out of a building as required.   Warm Edge spacers also help to minimise condensation and mould.

    Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer is a rigid tube spacer system made with engineering plastic with a gas barrier tape.  It has a thermal conductivity value of 0.14W/mK and achieves a Passive House rating of phA for Arctic Climates (phA+ with hot melt secondary sealant).  Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer is a flexible rubber spacer system with gas barrier tape.  Its value is 0.135W/mK and similarly achieves a phA+ rating.

    Thermoseal Group’s marketing manager, Samantha Hill tells us:  “We are delighted to finally launch our Warm Comfortable Home Video to showcase the advantages of our highest performance UK-manufactured spacer systems - Thermobar and Thermoflex.  With our focus on export, the video will also shortly be available in multilingual versions for customers to use to showcase the products worldwide.

    “This video is part of a range of promotional tools that we are due to launch for window installers to use to promote the advantages of windows incorporating Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers.  We are excited to see the growth in demand of our products and now our spacer bar production sites have a large additional capacity, we are ready to tell the world why our products are best in the worldwide industry.”
