Essex IG manufacturer Goldshield, an Edgetech customer, announces that it has now achieved CEN1279 Parts 2 and 3. Goldshield is believed to be the first warm edge IG manufacturer customer in the world to achieve this part of the standard. Gas filling is covered by Part 3 of the standard.

Mark Goodman, owner of Goldshield explains why it was important for his company to achieve parts 2 and 3:

‘Our standard sealed unit configuration is now soft coated low E glass, argon filled with Super Spacer which was recently tested with a fully reinforced Schuco window and achieved an incredible overall window u-value of 1.4W/m2.K. We’ve passed both the relevant parts for sealed unit manufacturers which means our customers can rely on the highest specification, most energy efficient sealed units available. We’re positioned at the higher end of the market and as these results show, take this position seriously. It’s a bonus that we are the first warm edge manufacturer customer in the world to achieve this part of the standard. We’re thrilled.’

Edgetech customers Senator Windows, Mcllhatton and Co. Ltd and Holdens Supaseal have recently achieved BS1279 Part 2.
