Lites are cut, processed and washed.
Step 2
Spacer frame
A spacer frame filled with desiccant forms the cavity.

Assemble
Lites are pressed against the spacer with a primary seal.
Step 4
Seal
A secondary sealant completes the unit.
Coating type and position, cavity width and gas fill are agreed per project at quotation.
