The quality of application is thus constant at all times.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Quantity of sealant used<\/strong><br>\r\nWithin our industry, we have regularly seen sealed units with 2 or 3 mm of sealant. We scrupulously follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the Super Spacer Premium spacer, which recommends 4.8 mm. We apply a minimum of 6.5 mm of sealant to our in-house manufactured units.\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nThe sealed unit is the critical element in the durability of a window. For us, it is out of the question to cut corners on the quality of components in order to save money. We prefer to do everything possible to avoid service calls for fogged-up thermoses.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Windows washed with demineralized and heated water<\/strong><br>\r\nUnlike some manufacturers who wash glass in cold water, we use water that is heated to 50\u00b0C. In addition, the water is demineralized, which minimizes the risk of deposits on the glass.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Our sealed units are assembled vertically.<\/strong><br>\r\nThis way of proceeding eliminates the defects associated with a flat assembly, such as sagging and warping. The result is a sealed unit whose glass edges are perfectly parallel.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>No mechanical assembly in the corners<\/strong><br>\r\nThe design of the Super Spacer Premium allows us to assemble a sealed unit without requiring the use of corners. The result is a visually more beautiful product.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Vapour barrier installed on the corner where the spacer is cut<\/strong><br>\r\nOn the corner where the spacer is cut, a one inch long vapour barrier (metal film)  is automatically installed by our production equipment. This measure aims to ensure maximum sealing. In fact, this corner is potentially weakened, because the spacer is not continuous at this location.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Fully insulated argon gas chamber<\/strong><br>\r\nAll our sealed units are equipped with argon gas. Argon gas filling is carried out in a fully insulated chamber. Consistency and filling rate (+90%) are guaranteed.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Final visual inspection<\/strong><br>\r\nEven though the process is completely automated, our staff conduct a visual inspection.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>20-year warranty against fogging between glasses<\/strong><br>\r\nOur warranty against seal loosening is 20 years, regardless of whether the glazing is clear or energetic.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Integrated aluminium grilles<\/strong><br>\r\nAll the grilles integrated into our sealed units are made of aluminium.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Sealant used<\/strong><br>\r\nWe use a \u201cHot Melt\u201d type sealant. This type of sealant offers the following characteristics:\r\n<br><br>\r\nWe use a \u201cHot Melt\u201d type sealant. This type of sealant offers the following characteristics:\r\n\r\nExcellent adhesion to the glass and spacer\r\nEffective barrier against water vapour\r\nThese two elements help extend the durability of sealed units.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Strategic positioning of the sealed unit in the sash<\/strong><br>\r\nDespite all the measures previously mentioned, which aim to obtain a durable sealed unit, we carry out a final step: the strategic positioning of the sealed unit in the sash.\r\nThe two corners of a sealed unit that are more at risk are:\r\n\r\nThe corner where the spacer is cut;\r\n<br><br>\r\nThe last corner where the sealer is applied.\r\nThese two corners are positioned at the top of the sash. However, it is at the bottom of the sash that a sealed unit is subject to the worst conditions: water, condensation, etc. This is why the two corners that are in theory the most \u201crobust\u201d will be found in our production at the bottom of the sashes.\r\n<br><br>\r\nAt the end of the manufacturing process of a sealed unit, the operator rotates it a quarter-turn. The two more \u201crobust\u201d corners are then at the bottom. The operator then places an identification label at the top. This label allows each worker to subsequently be able to properly install the sealed unit in a sash.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2014, Lajeunesse has manufactured sealed units (thermos) for its windows.<\/p>\n<p>Given the choice of components used, advanced equipment and the involvement of qualified personnel; you benefit from well-assembled, superior quality sealed units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1314,"template":"","class_list":["post-3319","option","type-option","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Energy-Efficient Glass - Lajeunesse<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lajeunesse manufacture sealed units for its windows.
