Impact-resistant fenestration with offset dual pane insulated glass unit

An impact-resistant fenestration, comprising:

• an offset dual-pane insulated glass unit, comprising:
• a small pane;
• a large pane comprising an outer edge and an overhang section, wherein the large pane has a greater surface area than the small pane;
• a layer of impact-resistant film, having the same dimensions as the large pane, attached to the large pane;
• wherein the small pane and the large pane are secured together using an insulated glass spacer to create an airspace between the small pane and large pane;
• wherein the small pane is centrally secured on the large pane to create the overhang section;
• and
• wherein the small pane and the large pane are secured together such that the layer of impact-resistant film attached to the large pane is partially contained within the airspace and extends into the overhang section;
• a tiered frame comprising an overhang mount, an overhang support extending from the overhang mount, and a tiered mount;
• and
• a glass stop;
• wherein the offset dual-pane insulated glass unit is mounted into the tiered frame such that the overhang section of the offset dual-pane insulated glass unit is secured to the overhang mount and the overhang support of the tiered frame using a layer of overhang adhesive, the small pane of the offset dual-pane insulated glass unit is secured to the standard mount of the tiered frame using a layer of standard adhesive, and the glass stop attaches to the overhang section and is mounted on the overhang support of the tiered frame,
• wherein the insulated glass spacer is secured to the tiered frame with the layer of overhang adhesive, and
• wherein the layer of overhang adhesive includes an S-shape which conforms to the shape of the tiered frame to secure the overhang section and the insulated glass spacer to the tiered frame with the overhang adhesive in contact with the outer edge, the overhang section, and the insulated glass spacer.
