Thermoseal Group Grows and Expands into Export Markets

Thermoseal Group, the UK’s leading manufacturer of warm edge spacer systems and bespoke accessories, announces further manufacturing expansion to meet the requirements of a continued increase in demand for Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers and accessories.

The Group’s Sales Director, Mark Hickox discusses the company’s growth: “We now supply over 50% of the UK spacer market and this percentage is increasing on continual basis now that Thermobar is proven as the most thermally efficient spacer system with a Bundesverband Flachglass (BF) data sheet value of 0.14W/mK. Thermobar has also proven to be the preferred product for our customers to manufacture with due to its many advantages in production of insulated glass (IG) sealed units.

“Thermoflex sales are up by over a thousand percent and demand for this product is seeing continual growth as customers try the product and see its advantages in production. We also have an IFT Rosenheim thermal conductivity report issued stating that Thermoflex has been tested and proven with a thermal efficiency of 0.14W/mK. A BF data sheet will follow shortly.

“This now means that it is proven that we supply the most thermally efficient warm edge spacer tube AND foam system which, according to BFRC substitution rules, can be substituted within existing Window Energy Rating simulations for any other spacer tube system or any other foam system.

“Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers have been subject to our rigorous in-house testing facilities before they are submitted for external testing. Both products have passed relevant EN1279 tests and have also been tested to many other international standards. They are now both proving to be of interest to the international market which has compounded the growth in demand for the products and contributed towards the growth of our manufacturing facilities.

“We have invested massively in our innovation centre and EN1279 test facilities to ensure that we understand the conditions within a glazing unit and how each component performs within the lifetime of the unit. This helps us to ensure that the components we manufacture and supply are second-to-none.

“Our recent investment in three additional Thermobar production lines and an additional Thermoflex line is testament to our confidence in our products. We know that we have industry-leading products and market demand both in the UK and through export customers. We have just booked to exhibit at Vitrum exhibition in Milan and Glass Build Atlanta later this year. We also have new warm edge products in the pipeline that we look forward to introducing to the market.”

We export world-wide, so whether you're a sealed unit manufacturer, a window fabricator or a double glazing installer in any location, we are also the one-stop-shop for machinery for all levels of glass sealed unit manufacture.

Thermoseal Group was founded in 1979 and quickly developed into an industry leader. Our original business was the sale of a limited amount of machinery from our small factory in Birmingham. Thermoseal Group now operates from four rapidly expanding branches in Birmingham, Wigan, Kent and Northern Ireland. We now stock and manufacture a wide range of insulated glass sealed unit components and machinery for sealed unit manufacturing.

Aside from our Kent-based lead plant where we produce our exclusive range of decorative Perma Led, most of our manufacturing processes have always taken place from our Birmingham factory. However, as the business has expanded, we now have a large manufacturing base in Wigan dedicated to the production of our own energy efficient products including – Thermobar and Thermoflex warm edge spacers. Alongside production on this site, we also have our own Innovation Centre focussed on designing, developing and testing our range of products to meet the changing regulations. Research, development and manufacturing of future-proof products is now the focus of the Group.

In addition to this manufacturing base, we also have an expanding injection moulding division based in Birmingham where we are developing our own range of components compatible with key industry products including Thermobar.

We are also active members of the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) and Bundesverband Flachglas (BF) working for the IG industry.

With innovation and a willingness to develop our industry as a priority, we offer a guaranteed quality of product and a reliable and timely delivery of goods by our dedicated team of drivers.

We know that our customers have their own customers' needs to meet, so we make it our business to ensure that we provide a tailored supplier support system.
