Abstract
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.
Claims18
An overhead door panel, comprising:
- a pair of glass panes;
- a metal frame section with parallel lateral stiles oriented perpendicular to the pair of glass panes;
- a first seal system comprising a first glass run channel and a first central extrusion located at a first lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles;
- and
- a second seal system comprising a second glass run channel and a second central extrusion located at a second lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of glass panes and the metal frame section such that the at least one glass pane is spatially distanced from the metal frame section, wherein an interior cavity that is essentially free of inert gases is formed in the overhead door panel between the pair of glass panes, the metal frame section, first seal system, and second seal system, wherein the interior cavity is also free of desiccate fill.
An overhead door panel, comprising:
- a first glass pane;
- a second glass pane;
- and
- a central extrusion to spatially separate the first glass pane and the second glass pane, wherein the central extrusion is connected to the first glass pane by a first polymer extrusion and connected to the second glass pane by a second polymer extrusion, wherein the first polymer extrusion is engaged with the second polymer extrusion to form a first seal system, wherein an interior cavity formed between the first glass pane and the second glass pane is free of inert gases.
An insulated window comprising:
- a pair of glass panes;
- a metal frame section;
- a first seal system;
- and
- a second seal system, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of glass panes and with the metal frame section such that the at least one glass pane is spatially distanced from the metal frame section and such that an interior cavity free of inert gases is formed between the pair of glass panes, the metal frame section, the first seal system, and the second seal system, wherein the interior cavity is free of desiccate fill.
