The reinforcement profile (8) comprises a wall part (8w) extending in a direction away from a first region located proximate a first plane (P1) comprising the first outer major surface (9a) of the glass unit (3), and moreover extends in the interior frame profile space (7) in a direction away from a second plane (P2), so that the interior space (7) is split into a first space part (7a) located at a first side of the reinforcement profile, and a second space part (7b) located at a second side of the reinforcement profile. The second plane (P2) is perpendicular to the first plane (P1), extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the frame profile, and touches a part of an exterior surface (6a1) of a first exterior wall (5a) of the frame profile that faces and is proximate the frame opening (4).

The invention provides a system for installing a rail and closure assembly on a metal roof. The rail and closure assembly includes a supporting rail and closure structure adapted to be supported by adjacent rib elevations of the roof, and an overlying load adapted to be supported by the rail and closure structure. The rail and closure structure diverts water around the rail and closure assembly. The entire heights of the side rails, including the rail bottoms, are above the closest portions of the panel flats. At least one panel of each of the side rails faces the respective rib along the full length of the respective side rail. The rail and closure assembly also includes a lower closure. Opposing ends of the lower closure extend upwardly and interface with the ribs. The lower closure further comprises a lower flange which interfaces with a respective panel flat.

A connector arrangement for a flashing assembly for use in a roof window arrangement is disclosed. It comprises a base connector element, an elevation element and a top connector element. Both connector elements have a gutter in their exterior side, and the gutter is open at one end so that water can drain out of it. An attachment section on the interior side of the base connector element is configured for being attached to a bracket used for connecting a roof window to a load-bearing structure, and the elevation element supports the top connector element so that it is positioned above the base connector element. In the mounted state the second end of the top connector element is arranged above the gutter of the base connector element and their length directions extend substantially in parallel to each other. A method for weather proofing a roof window arrangement is also disclosed.

A vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit frame assembly is disclosed comprising: a rectangular vacuum insulated glass unit comprising two glass sheets separated by a sealed gap, wherein a plurality of support structures are distributed in the gap, and a frame arrangement comprising elongated frame profile arrangements which frames the vacuum insulated glass unit in a frame opening, and wherein the frame arrangement comprises a fixation system fixating the vacuum insulated glass unit at the frame arrangement, wherein the frame is arranged so as to allow edges of the vacuum insulated glass unit to thermally deflect in a deflection direction perpendicular to the frame opening plane due to a temperature difference (T=T1T2) between the two glass sheets, and to provide a restriction of the thermal deflection of the edges, so as to reduce the magnitude of the thermal deflection compared to an unrestricted thermal deflection of the edges at the temperature difference (T=T1T2).

A packaging for a window comprising a folded sheet member and at least one fastener or bonder for interconnecting different sections of the sheet member for the formation of a box, where two lid sections are each connected to a side section of the sheet member. The sum of the widths of the lid sections is substantially equal to the width of a receiving section intended for carrying the window and the lid sections have different widths. The width of each lid section corresponds to at least ? of the width of the receiving section. Preferably, the packaging comprises an indication that it should be opened at the joint between the two lid sections and one of the lid sections preferably has a standard width regardless of the size of the packaging, preferably approximately 40 cm. A packed window and a method for packing a window is also part of the invention.

A flashing member (30, 32, 33) for a roof window (1) and a method for making a flashing member is disclosed. The flashing member is made from a sheet material and comprises an elongate main element (301) and at least one end element (302), attached to the main element (301) at one end by a folded seam connection (303). The main element (301) comprises a first section (3011) extending along a length axis (L) and a height axis (H) of the flashing member, a second section (3012) extending along the length axis and a width axis (W), and a planar third section (3013) extending between the first section (3011) and the second section (3012). The method comprises bending a first piece of sheet material twice along two parallel lines to form the third section of the main element and possibly compressing the folded seam connection into a flat lock seam.
