An insulating glass unit and a method of forming same comprising a pair of glass panes in a parallel, spaced apart relation, at least one edge spacer and at least a primary sealant located between adjacent edges of the pair of panes to provide an integral sealed unit defining a space therebetween, and at least one transparent film located within the space between the pair of glass panes, said at least one transparent film secured to one of a support structure and the at least one edge spacer, wherein the film is positioned in a spaced apart parallel relationship between the pair of glass panes, and wherein the film is heat shrunk to a tensioned state prior to positioning of the film between the pair of glass panes.

An insulating glazing unit, in particular a triple insulating glazing unit, includes at least one spacer shaped to form a peripheral spacer frame and defining an inner region, a first outer pane, which is arranged on a first pane contact surface of the spacer frame and a second outer pane, which is arranged on a second pane contact surface of the spacer frame, at least one central pane, which is introduced into at least one intermediate space of at least one retaining profile and which retaining profile is shaped to form a peripheral retaining profile frame, which frames the central pane, wherein the central pane is arranged with the retaining profile frame within the inner region of the spacer frame and between the outer panes.

A plug connector for connecting a first spacer and a second spacer for a triple insulating glazing unit, includes a main body and a first and a second section. The first section of the main body and/or the second section of the main body is movable around a specified axis of the main body.

A window glazing assembly that can convert an existing or already-installed window, or be used to assemble new construction windows as a multi-pane or multi-glazed window unit, is provided herein. In particular, the glazing assembly includes an attachment assembly (e.g., peel-and-stick double-sided adhesive tape) and one or more glazing layers. Some embodiments further include a spacer assembly comprising a plurality of spacer bars that may be individually installed, e.g., one by one, around the perimeter of the window such as, to the window sash, window frame, or glass window pane, itself. The glazing layer(s) can then be secured or adhered to the spacer assembly, for example, around the perimeter thereof. Some embodiments may include additional or intermediate glazing layers, providing additional insulating airspaces and enhanced performance.

Insulated glazing units comprising first and second sheets of glazing material with a low pressure space there between are described. The major surface of the second sheet of glazing material not facing the low pressure space has a low emissivity coating comprising at least one layer of fluorine doped tin oxide thereon. There is a first anti-iridescence coating between the low emissivity coating and the second sheet of glazing material. Also described are insulated glazing units comprising three (first, second and third) sheets of glazing material with a low pressure space between first and second sheets of glazing material, and a second space between the first and third sheets of glazing material. There is a low emissivity coating on one or both major surfaces facing the low pressure space. The third sheet of glazing material has a low emissivity coating on both opposed major surfaces thereof.
