A frame assembly, for use in window and door applications configured to retain a panel, comprising a frame with a cover assembly and a support assembly having a track assembly, and a sill assembly and a header assembly both interconnected to a securing surface. The cover assembly is interconnected to the support assembly. The sill assembly comprises a roller member disposed in supporting relation to the track assembly, and the header assembly is disposed in supporting relation to the support assembly so that the frame is movable relative to both the header assembly and the sill assembly. At least a portion of the frame comprises a predetermined thickness and a predetermined width. The predetermined thickness is substantially less than the predetermined width so that both cooperatively and concurrently enhance viewing through the panel and the frame's stability.

A vacuum glazing includes a vacuum layer formed between a first glazing and a second glazing, a spacer provided in the vacuum layer, a frame provided at edge portions of the first and second glazings, and a sealant interposed between the frame and surfaces of the first and second glazings to perform sealing of the vacuum layer. The insulating performance of the vacuum glazing is improved.

A first embodiment of an aluminium extrusion framing system (10) comprises a first wedge member (12) and a second wedge member (14) made of resilient material for securing and sealing a panel (16) in the framing system. The framing system (10) also comprises an aluminium extrusion (20) having a channel (22) adapted to receive an edge of the panel (16) therein. A first side wall (24b) is formed with a first elongate retention means (28) extending the full length of the extrusion (20) for receiving the first wedge member (12) in connection therewith. A removable cover plate (30) is adapted to be secured to the extrusion (20) and received in close proximity to a top edge of the first side wall (24b) of the channel (22) whereby, in use, when the panel 16 is installed in the channel 22 with the first wedge member (12) received in connection with the first retention means (28), the first wedge member (12) is substantially concealed when the removable cover plate (30) is secured to the extrusion (20).
