We are a global leader in extruded warm-edge spacer systems for insulating glass (IG) units, delivering proven thermal performance, long-term durability, and production flexibility for window and door manufacturers. As a trusted fenestration component supplier, we engineer spacer technologies that reduce heat transfer at the edge of the glass—the most vulnerable area for energy loss, condensation, and seal stress.
Our flexible spacer portfolio includes Super Spacer®, Duralite®, Duraseal®, and Decoseal®, each designed to improve IGU longevity while supporting efficient manufacturing processes.
Warm-edge spacer systems play a critical role in achieving energy-efficient window performance. By reducing thermal bridging at the edge of the glass, our extruded spacer systems help manufacturers:
- Meet ENERGY STAR® performance targets
- Improve U-values and condensation resistance
- Protect seals from environmental stress
- Extend IG unit service life
- Support long-term warranty performance
Unlike rigid metal spacers, our flexible foam-based and integrated systems flex with temperature fluctuations, reducing seal failures and premature breakdown.
Our team works directly with IG fabricators to evaluate equipment configurations, optimize line layouts, and ensure seamless integration into existing processes.
For manufacturers expanding glass shop operations or upgrading equipment, our technical specialists provide hands-on implementation support to ensure consistent quality from day one.
Whether producing hundreds of IG units per day or running high-volume automated lines, Quanex spacer systems are engineered for compatibility across:
- Manual IG assembly
- Semi-automated production
- Fully automated, high-speed IG manufacturing
Dual-seal systems like Super Spacer® support residential and light commercial applications requiring long-term durability and structural performance.
Single-seal systems like Duralite® and Duraseal® offer streamlined, one-step supplication to improve throughput while maintaining strong thermal performance.
Decoseal® provides the enhanced thermal performance of a standard unit, but for decorative glass, reducing the assembly steps necessary in the fabrication process of triple glazing.
Quanex is a leading uPVC window profile supplier in the USA, delivering commercial and residential vinyl extrusion systems engineered for superior energy performance and long-term durability. As a global fenestration component supplier, we design profiles to meet regional performance requirements, aesthetic expectations and evolving energy codes.
Our proprietary MikronBlend® vinyl compound is formulated to withstand extreme weather conditions while maintaining exceptional consistency from batch to batch. Used exclusively in all of our vinyl window and door profiles, MikronBlend delivers strength, dimensional stability and performance reliability that manufacturers can depend on.
Today’s window and door systems must meet increasingly stringent thermal and structural requirements. Quanex vinyl profiles are engineered to support:
- Outstanding thermal performance to meet demanding energy standards

Quanex designs and manufacturers high-performance door thresholds engineered to virtually eliminate air and water infiltration while meeting demanding code and ADA requirements. As a full-scope fenestration component supplier, we support entry door manufacturers with threshold systems that balance durability, energy efficiency, and streamlined production.
Whether you require a robust aluminum threshold, composite construction or the classic appearance of a hardwood door threshold strip, our systems are built for long-term performance in real-world conditions.
At the core of our premium threshold systems is ImperiSeal™ technology, a continuous sealing filament that positively seals the adjusting rail to the sill deck. This creates a unitary exposure surface that:
- Stops water at the threshold
- Virtually eliminates air and water infiltration
- Enhances long-term weather resistance
- Eliminates the need for sill pans in many applications
- Supports improved overall door system performance
For OEMs and installers, this means fewer callbacks and greater confidence in field performance.
For architects and specifiers, it means improved envelope integrity at a critical transition point.
Quanex door thresholds are designed to support:
- ADA accessibility requirements
- Energy-efficient entry systems
- Thermal break integration
- Corrosion resistance in demanding environments
- Structural durability under repeated traffic
Available in multiple sill widths, configurations (single, French/double, patio, continuous sidelite) and finish options, our systems are engineered to align with both performance goals and aesthetic expectations.
From the 5Y Sill with ImperiSeal™ to the 5C Can-Am Sill and FirstStep™ Sill, our portfolio offers composite substrates, thermal breaks, real wood options and flexible cut-down capabilities to meet diverse manufacturing requirements.
In addition to performance in the field, Quanex thresholds are built for integration on the production floor.
We offer:
