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.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a glazing bead system and methods of using the same. The systems and methods can include a frame interface member with structural features that enable the practical and automated coupling of the frame interface member to a frame constituent, before a panel is inserted within the frame interface member.
