Intercept BlackLine
The best warm edge spacer you’ll never see!
With an exciting new look, this completely unobtrusive warm edge spacer system tucks neatly below the window sightline making it virtually invisible.
Intercept BlackLine makes beautiful windows by eliminating the spacer system from the view of the customer.
Addition by subtraction.
Originally engineered specifically for the UK market, BlackLine has also rapidly gained popularity in North America. Customers want to see through windows – not have the components glare back at them. GED achieved this in part with Intercept by tucking it deep below the sightline of the frame. Thanks to UK customer feedback, we have gone a step further and now with BlackLine, there is really nothing to see.
Additionally, BlackLine meets the requirements of both EN 1279 parts 2 and 3 and Energy Star Standards for maximum energy efficiency. What’s more, its thermally flexible U-Shape design makes it the most reliable and most durable spacer of all — no load on the sealant virtually eliminates seal failures.
