Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to edge sealing techniques for vacuum insulating glass (VIG) units. More particularly, certain example embodiments relate to techniques for providing localized heating to edge seals of units, and/or unitized ovens for accomplishing the same. In certain example embodiments, a unit is pre-heated to one or more intermediate temperatures, localized heating (e.g., from one or more substantially linear focused IR heat sources) is provided proximate to the peripheral edges of the unit so as to melt frits placed thereon, and cooled. In certain non-limiting implementations, the pre-heating and/or cooling may be provided in one or more steps. An oven for accomplishing the same may include multiple zones for performing the above-noted steps, each zone optionally including one or more chambers. Accordingly, in certain example embodiments, a temperature gradient proximate to the edges of the unit is created, thereby reducing the chances of breakage and/or at least some de-tempering of the substrates.

An insulating glazing includes two glass sheets spaced apart by an air- or gas-filled cavity, at least one spacer arranged at a periphery of the glass sheets and that keeps the glass sheets spaced apart, one of the spacers being transparent, made of transparent plastic and placed on one of the sides of the glazing, and a first leaktight barrier that is leaktight to water, formed by a structural seal, a material of which is watertight, and a second leaktight barrier that is leaktight to gases and to water vapor, the leaktight barriers being made of transparent material, wherein the spacer includes on at least one of its internal and external faces, the internal and external faces being respectively facing and on the opposite side from the gas-filled cavity, a coating which is thin and constitutes the second transparent barrier, the coating and the transparent spacer forming a single assembly.

An object of the invention is to provide a multilayer glass which can be manufactured by a simple process. To solve the above problem, the multilayer glass according to the invention includes a first glass substrate, a second glass substrate that faces the first glass substrate at an interval of a predetermined space, and a sealing part that seals a periphery of an internal space defined by the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate. The sealing part is formed with a sealing material containing low melting point glass. The internal space is in a vacuum state. The first glass substrate includes an exhaust port that is provided to be included in a projection part of the sealing part when being projected in a lamination direction of the first glass substrate and the second glass substrate. The exhaust port is blocked by the sealing material (see FIG. 3).
