The invention provides an IG unit that includes two glass sheets and an aerogel sheet located between the two glass sheets. The aerogel sheet is adhered to an interior surface of one of the two glass sheets by an adhesive, such that a face of the aerogel sheet is carried alongside the interior surface and has a portion that is devoid of the adhesive. In some cases, the adhesive is outside a vision area of the unit. In some cases, the adhesive securing the aerogel sheet to the interior surface is in contact with the first face of the aerogel sheet, and the adhesive contacts less than 10% of the first face of the aerogel sheet. Furthermore, some embodiments provide a glazing assembly that includes a frame and an IG unit mounted in the frame such that a vision area of the glazing assembly is located inwardly of the frame.
A glazing assembly comprising a frame and a multiple-pane insulating glazing unit mounted in the frame such that a vision area of the glazing assembly is located inwardly of the frame, the multiple-pane insulating glazing unit comprising two glass sheets, a spacer, and an aerogel sheet, the aerogel sheet being located between the two glass sheets, such that a gas gap is located alongside the aerogel sheet, the spacer having two opposed sides sealed respectively to the two glass sheets by first and second sealant regions, the glazing assembly further comprising a perimetrical adhesive field comprising adhesive securing the aerogel sheet to an interior surface of one of the two glass sheets, the perimetrical adhesive field being located outside the vision area of the glazing assembly, such that the vision area of the glazing assembly is devoid of the adhesive.
A multiple-pane insulating glazing unit comprising two glass sheets, a spacer, and an aerogel sheet, the aerogel sheet being located between the two glass sheets, such that a gas gap is located alongside the aerogel sheet, the spacer having two opposed sides sealed respectively to the two glass sheets by first and second sealant regions, the multiple-pane insulating glazing unit further including a perimetrical adhesive field comprising adhesive securing the aerogel sheet to an interior surface of one of the two glass sheets, the perimetrical adhesive field being located outside a vision area of the multiple-pane insulating glazing unit, such that the vision area of the multiple-pane insulating glazing unit is devoid of the adhesive.
