Abstract
Various embodiments of the disclosure are directed towards fenestration assemblies having a first pane; a second pane, the second pane spaced from the first pane; and a third pane configured in spaced relation between the first pane and the second pane, where the third pane is a laminate. In one aspect, the total thickness of the third pane laminate is not greater than 3 mm. In one aspect, the laminate comprises a first glass layer not greater than 1 mm thick and a second glass layer not greater than 1 mm thick, and an interlayer between first and second layers.

A fenestration assembly, comprising:
- a first pane;
- a second pane, the second pane configured in a spaced relation with the first pane;
- and
- a third pane configured in spaced relation between the first pane and the second pane, the third pane comprising a laminate that has a laminate thickness of less than 4.3 mm,
- wherein the laminate comprises a first glass layer, a second glass layer, and an interlayer configured between the first glass layer and the second glass layer, wherein at least one of the first glass layer and the second glass layer has a thickness of not greater than 1 mm.
A fenestration assembly, comprising:
- a first pane;
- a second pane, the second pane configured in a spaced relation with the first pane;
- and
- a third pane comprising a laminate, wherein the laminate thickness is less than 3 mm, further wherein the laminate comprises:
- a first glass layer;
- a second glass layer, at least one of the first glass layer and the second glass layer having a thickness of not greater than 1 mm;
- and
- an interlayer configured between the first glass layer and the second glass layer;
- wherein, each pane of the fenestration assembly is configured to conform to at least one of ANSI Z97.1 and EN 12600 standard for safety glazing;
- further wherein, the fenestration assembly comprises a weighted noise reduction metric Rw of at least 35 dB, when measured in accordance with ISO 717-1 standard.
A fenestration assembly, comprising:
- an insulating glazing unit, comprising:
- a first pane;
- a second pane, the second pane configured in a spaced relation with the first pane;
- and
- a third pane configured in spaced relation between the first pane and the second pane, the third pane comprising a laminate, wherein the laminate thickness is less than 3 mm;
- and
- a sealing member, configured with sealing engagement to the insulating glazing unit, to define:
- via the first pane, the third pane, and the frame, a first defined gap;
- and
- via the second pane, the third pane, and the frame, a second defined gap.
