ThinStar Intercept Ultra Tin Plate
Leading Edge’s ThinStar was developed to interchange with .0078 gauge EdgeStar stainless steel for GED’s Ultra Spacer System
ThinStar provides the option of less expensive tin plate material where the performance and additional cost of stainless is unneccessary. GED and Leading Edge have worked together to develop this unique alloy which has given birth to this value-added product. Additionally, GED has exclusively designated Leading Edge the the only approved supplier of ThinStar.
In today’s window performance-driven environment, ThinStar offers a conductivity value of 51.6 as documented by the NFRC.
Leading Edge’s ThinStar is an example of our commitment to enhancing current systems by providing savings through the development of alternative materials.
Creating solutions, which results from understanding our customer’s needs, are a core value of Leading Edge’s exclusive focus on the window & door industry.
