Dura Platform Spacers insulate
the edge of glass better than
solid foam or metal spacers.
Dura Platform Spacers are
hollow trapping air for maximum
thermal performance

Duralite and Duraseal are
hollow air filled spacers and
air is an excellent insulator
more than 10X better than
EPDM foam and 200X better
than carbon steel.

Saving Our Planet One Window at a Time
Green is more than a color, it’s an obligation.
We want to make the environment in your
customers’ homes as comfortable as possible.
But we don’t want to destroy the environment
outside their homes to do it.
We are efficiency experts and our efficiency has many
benefits. But the most important benefit is the energy your
customers will save. Our window spacers efficiently seal your
windows, your windows efficiently seal your customers’
homes and they use less energy to heat and cool. And the
less energy they use, the less impact they have on the
environment.
If we all do our part, your customers will have beautiful,
efficient windows and something beautiful to look at through
them.
