The primary window consideration is its insulating-glass spacer -with traditional highly conductive metal spacers, which leads to lower perimeter edge temperatures. Convection currents further concentrate cold air along the bottom edge of glass, making that area the most vulnerable. Only a warmer edge, all the way around, will strike at the heart of the problem. The world's warmest edge occurs with ENER-SAVE Window's Super Spacer, an insulating white foam spacer whose use allows for comfortable household humidity levels and the least likelihood of mold and other problems. 1, record 1, English, - insulating%2Dglass%20spacer
