Said compressed, resilient suspension elements (45a, 45b) provides a holding force (F1, F2) towards said opposite outwardly facing surfaces (4a, 4b, 15, 35a) of the vacuum insulated glass unit (1) so as to suspend the vacuum insulated glass unit (1) between said first and second holding members (28a, 28b), and each of said compressed, resilient suspension elements (45a, 45b) are configured to be further compressed or expand in response to a thermal deflection of the edge (8a-8d) of the VIG unit (1) due to a temperature difference (AT=71−72) between the two glass sheets (2a, 2b). The disclosure additionally relates to a vacuum insulated glass unit and a retrofitting frame system.

A stile system to support a door or other types of panels is provided. The doors and/or panels may include frameless glass panes. The stile system may include a longitudinal channel into which the side of the door may be received and secured. The system may include a clamping assembly that may provide clamping forces onto the opposing lateral surfaces of the door within the longitudinal channel to secure it therein. The clamping assembly may be controlled by a controlling assembly in combination with the housing to provide inward forces to the clamping members to secure the panel. The stile system also includes a unitizing gasket configured to hold the elements of the clamping assembly in place during the system's assembly and use.
