Non-invasive insulating gas measuring devices

Complete Your Insulating Glass Quality Assurance Process Without Compromising the Sealed Structure

Why choose Sparklike

The leader of non-invasive insulating gas measurement for IGUs

Gas-filled insulating glass units (IGUs) are essential for energy-efficient windows. But without measuring the gas fill, how can you be sure they meet performance requirements?

Without testing, you risk compromised quality, reduced insulation performance, and non-compliance with industry standards. In fact, IGUs with insufficient gas content can lose up to 30% of their insulating efficiency.

Sparklike provides a reliable, non-invasive solution for verifying gas fill levels. Our devices enable accurate measurements in both double and triple glazed units, without damaging the glass structure, supporting consistent quality control and ensuring your products meet the required standards.

Stop Guessing —Start Measuring Insulating Glass Quality with Sparklike

Sparklike is a Finnish company driving innovation in the insulating glass industry since 2000. Our mission is simple: ensuring quality through accurate gas measurement.

How can you be sure your IGUs have the correct gas fill if you don’t measure it? Poor gas filling can increase an IGU’s U-value by up to 30%, reducing energy efficiency. Regular gas content verification is essential for quality control, ensuring your gas filling machinery performs as expected.

Sparklike’s non-invasive devices eliminate guesswork. By verifying gas levels during production, you can avoid costly callbacks, maintain your brand’s reputation, and deliver reliable performance. Don’t let uncertainty compromise quality — measure it with Sparklike.
