A skylight having a frame with a flanged lip about a skylight window unit periphery having water drainage notches formed therein help keep the windows clean. The notches in the frame flange radiates outward from a central light transmissive region of the window unit and have an inboard depth adjacent the window opening approximately equal to the flange thickness. Inclination of the skylight when installed allows water to freely drain from through the notches off the central light transmissive region of the window unit.

A system of components for forming a skylight which includes a base frame formed from lengths of identical base frame extrusions a glazing frame formed from lengths of identical glazing frame extrusions angular corner pieces for joining the base frame extrusions and the glazing frame extrusions to form a base frame and a glazing frame respectively a glazing panel adapted to be adhered at its edges to said glazing frame and said glazing panel being adapted to be attached to said base frame. The set of component extrusions reduces the cost of making custom measured skylights. Preferably Aluminium extruded frame members are used. The glass sheet is adhered at its edges to the upper edge of a glazing support frame. The glazing support frame extrusions preferably include a protective edge that extends up from the support surface to enclose the edge of the glass sheet.

The present application provides a roofing assembly (300). The roofing assembly (300) comprises: a support frame (310, 320); a window panel (350) supported on the support frame; a roof covering (319, 364) having an inner surface facing the support frame (310, 320) and extending over the support frame (310, 320) to a boundary of the window panel (350); and a sealing adaptor (360) comprising a sealing portion (430) having a sealing surface (432) for forming a seal against the window panel (350), and a retaining portion (410) defining a retaining recess (420) formed to retain an end of the roof covering (319, 364) therein. The retaining portion (410) comprises a lip region (422) for contacting the inner surface of the roof covering (319, 364) when the end of the roof covering (319, 364) is received in the retaining recess (420). The retaining recess (420) is provided between the lip region (422) and the sealing surface (432).

The present disclosure relates to a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit frame assembly (10), wherein said vacuum insulated glass unit frame assembly (10) comprises: a vacuum insulated glass unit (1), anda frame (20) comprising elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d) which frames said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) in a frame opening (21). One or more of said frame profile arrangements (20a-20d) comprises a holding part (28), wherein said holding part (28) holds the vacuum insulated glass unit (2) between first and second holding members (22, 23 28a, 28b,) arranged at opposite outwardly facing surfaces (4a, 4b, 15, 35a) of the vacuum insulated glass unit (1), and one or more resilient suspension elements (45a, 45b) is compressed between a first of said holding members (22, 23 28a, 28b) and one of said opposite outwardly facing surfaces (4a, 4b), and wherein one or more resilient suspension elements (45a, 45b) is compressed between a second of said holding members (22, 23 28a, 28b) and the other of said opposite outwardly facing surfaces (4a, 4b). 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.
