Abstract
A method of producing and arrangement for a multi-pane insulating glass structure which has two parallel panes, a frame for holding the panes and an adhesive sealant mounted between the panes and the frame, comprises specially-shaped elongated plastic sectional rods forming portions of the frame and having grooves for receiving the panes with a foil-type vapor seal mounted intermediate first and second ones of the sectional rod portions. The first rod portion is substantially U-shaped in cross-section and forms a spacer for the spaced parallel panes. The U-shaped sectional rod includes a central web for spanning the foil-type vapor seal and forming a chamber for housing a moisture-absorbing agent.
