Method for attaching a pane element to a sash and a pane module including a pane element

A pane module adapted to be installed on a sash and comprising a pane element and a border element,

• where the pane element includes at least two sheet elements, separated by one or more spacer members, where an interior side of the pane element is intended to face the interior of a building in a mounted state and defines a pane plane,
• where the border element surrounds the pane element, at least partially encasing an edge of at least one sheet element,
• where the border element is a moulded border element, and means for attaching the border element to the pane element, said means for attaching being moulding, and
• where the border element includes a contact surface adapted for being connected to a contact surface of the sash,
• characterized in that
• the contact surface of the border element is adapted for being connected to the contact surface of the sash by means of an adhesive or glue, that the border element includes one or more elongate support member(s) having one or more openings, and that the border element comprises guiding elements extending through one or more openings of the one or more elongate support member(s) and projecting from the contact surface of the border element substantially perpendicularly to the pane plane, said guiding elements being adapted for being inserted in openings in the contact surface of the sash.

A method for attaching a pane element to a sash, including the steps of:

• A) providing a pane element with a border element, thereby making a pane module where the pane element includes at least two sheet elements, separated by one or more spacer members, where an interior side of the pane element is intended to face the interior of a building in a mounted state and defines a pane plane,
• where the border element surrounds the pane element, at least partially encasing an edge of at least one sheet element, and
• where the border element is made by moulding and attached to the pane element during the moulding process,
• B) bringing a contact surface of the border element into contact with a contact surface of the sash, and connecting the pane module to the sash,
• characterized in
• that during step A) one or more elongate support members having one or more holes is/are arranged to extend along one or more sides of the pane element and partially embedded in the material of the border element during the moulding process, and
• that step B) includes the following steps:
• B1) providing the contact surface of the border element and/or of the sash with an adhesive or glue,
• B2) inserting guiding elements of the border element in openings in the contact surface of the sash, said guiding elements projecting from the contact surface of the border element wherein at least a portion of each of said guiding elements extends into one of the one or more holes of the one or more elongate support members such that each of said guiding elements extends through the contact surface of the border element and the contact surface of the sash, and
• B3) keeping the contact surface of the border element in contact with the contact surface of the sash until the adhesive or glue has set or hardened.
