VIG Unit Lamination

A method of providing a laminated vacuum insulated glass unit, wherein the method comprises:

• providing a lamination assembly comprising
• a vacuum insulated glass unit comprising at least two glass sheets separated by a plurality of support structures distributed in a gap between the glass sheets, and
• a lamination layer arranged between one of the glass sheets of the vacuum insulated glass unit and a further sheet,
• arranging said lamination assembly between first and second clamping bodies providing clamping surfaces, wherein at least one of said clamping surfaces is configured to be displaced by one or more clamping body displacers to change the distance between the clamping surfaces,
• wherein a controller controls said one or more clamping body displacers to provide a compression pressure to the lamination assembly by means of the clamping surfaces,
• subjecting the further sheet to a conduction heating between said clamping bodies by means of a first heating arrangement, and
• subjecting the surface of the lamination assembly facing away from the further sheet to a conduction heating between said clamping bodies by means of a second heating arrangement,
• wherein the start of the conduction heating of the surface of the lamination assembly facing away from the further sheet is time delayed compared to the start of said conduction heating of the further sheet.

A method of providing a laminated vacuum insulated glass unit, wherein the method comprises:

• providing a lamination assembly comprising
• a vacuum insulated glass unit comprising at least two glass sheets separated by a plurality of support structures distributed in a gap between the glass sheets, and
• a lamination layer arranged between one of the glass sheets of the vacuum insulated glass unit and a further sheet,
• wherein the method comprises heating the outer major surfaces of the lamination assembly according to different heating profiles.
