The invention comprises the original glass to which at least one PU film and one C-PET film are orderly applied, ate least to the interior face of the glass.

A method and a device for assembling a triple insulating glass pane containing two outer glasses and a thin glass between them is disclosed. A standing thin glass is conveyed into a first pressing station. A first flexible spacer strand is applied to a first outer glass, which is then joined to the thin glass in the first pressing station. A second flexible spacer strand is applied to the second outer glass. The glass assembly is conveyed upstandingly to a turning station, where it is turned about an upstanding axis of rotation. After turning, the glass assembly is conveyed upstandingly from the rotation station into a second pressing station. The second outer glass is conveyed upstandingly through the first pressing station and the rotation station into the second pressing station. Then, the glass assembly and the second outer glass are joined together to form a triple insulating glass pane.
