Examples of the present disclosure provide an overhead door panel. The overhead door panel includes a pair of parallel glass panes, a metal frame with parallel lateral stiles oriented perpendicular to the pair of parallel glass panes, a first seal system located at a first lateral stile, and a second seal system located at a second lateral stile, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of parallel glass panes and a lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles of the metal frame such that the first seal system and the second seal system are between the at least one glass pane and the lateral stile.

Invention pertains to construction and installation methods for construction and renovation of production, public and residential buildings, in particular, to translucent barriers, therein windows, stained glass, glass facing, indoor winter gardens, atriums, clerestories, greenhouses, doors, indoor baffles and other structures both indoor and outdoor. Therein also may be integrated a solar panel, and electric heating elements, dehumidifier.

The engineering advantage of the invention is an improved heat insulation design, protection from both outdoor cold and excessive heat from the sun, an improved resistance to fluctuations of temperature, improved noise cancellation, absence of a condensate at the glass surfaces, increased glazing area without traditionally associated heat loss, absence of a freezing of reveals, improved reliability regarding breaking in, reduced integrity loss risk resulting from fire (fire resistance), reduced convection and consequently increased isolation properties due to greater spacing between glass sheets, increased containment, simplicity of installation and replacement (repair) of IGU modules without disruption outer shell of the building (heating contour of the building) due to partial disassembly of the structure, increased resistance to potential impacts in transportation and installation. Translucent structure according to invention contains at least four glass sheets, joined together in at least two independent IGU modules (IGUs), each containing at least two parallel glass sheets distanced 10-1000 mm, the glass sheets in IGUs are glued together by a spacer frame and a sealant, and IGUs themselves are joined together by a thermo insulation reinforced frame, creating a sealed chamber in between IGUs.

A glass unit including a spacer, a front glass pane attached to a front side of the spacer, a back glass pane attached to a back side of the spacer, and a pressure equalization conduit defined by and within the spacer, wherein the pressure equalization conduit has a first end and a second end, wherein the pressure equalization conduit contains a desiccant and is in fluid communication with an exterior of the glass unit at a first end port adjacent to the first end and with an interior space of the glass unit at a second end port adjacent to the second end. The glass unit may further include one or more intermediate layers contained within the interior space and one or more floating suspension systems for supporting the intermediate layers.

A spacer element for a double glazed article, a kit for assembling the spacer element, and a double glazed article including the spacer element. The spacer element includes a frame section. The frame section has a first substantially planar mounting surface located on a first side of the frame section for mounting a first sheet of glass on the spacer element at a periphery of the first sheet of glass. The frame section also has a second substantially planar mounting surface located on a second side of the frame section opposite the first side, for mounting a second sheet of glass on the spacer element at a periphery of the second sheet of glass. The spacer element also has a cavity located in-between the first and second mounting surfaces for accommodating a lock and/or roller mechanism of the double glazed article at a periphery of the double glazed article.

Vacuum glass includes a piece of upper glass, a piece of lower glass, and a closed vacuum layer sandwiched between the upper class and the lower glass, the peripheries of the upper glass and the lower glass are in seal connection using two or more layers of sealing material, the upper glass and the lower glass are convex glass or flat glass, convex surfaces of the convex glass face outward, and supports are disposed between two pieces of flat glass. The manufacturing method of the vacuum glass is simple, the prepared vacuum glass and tempered vacuum glass solve the defects in the prior art, can ensure the airtightness and service life of the vacuum glass, and are suitable for mechanization, automation, and mass production.

A method for producing a triple insulating glazing unit is presented. According to the method, one pane is inserted into a groove of a spacer that is peripherally shaped to form a spacer frame to enframe the pane. A first pane and a second pane are connected to corresponding contact surfaces of the spacer frame by way of an upper edge and lateral edges of the first and second panes. Lower edges of the first and second panes are bent outward. Formed interpane spaces are filled from below with a protective gas, and the arrangement of the panes and the spacer frame is sealed and pressed together.

A glass unit including a spacer, a front glass pane attached to a front side of the spacer, a back glass pane attached to a back side of the spacer, and a pressure equalization conduit defined by and within the spacer, wherein the pressure equalization conduit has a first end and a second end, wherein the pressure equalization conduit contains a desiccant and is in fluid communication with an exterior of the glass unit at a first end port adjacent to the first end and with an interior space of the glass unit at a second end port adjacent to the second end. The glass unit may further include one or more intermediate layers contained within the interior space and one or more floating suspension systems for supporting the intermediate layers.
