Better insulating Dura Platform Spacers improve the temperature of the glass.
Warmer glass makes you feel more comfortable while using less energy and producing less carbon dioxide pollution.
Simulations were performed by Enermodal Engineering Limited using Window 5.2 and Therm 5.2 as per NFRC 100, and NFRC 500, 2001. Dec 23, 2003
