Window frame system for vacuum insulated glass unit

A window assembly comprising:

• a vacuum insulated glass unit including first and second glass substrates defining a space therebetween that is at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, one of the first and second glass substrates including a vacuum port extending outward therefrom, the vacuum port defining a passage extending through one of the first and second glass substrates and in communication with the space;
• a third glass substrate;
• and
• a frame assembly supporting the vacuum insulated glass unit and the third glass substrate and including a base member and a glazing member, the base member and the glazing member cooperating to define a first slot in which a portion of the vacuum insulated glass unit is received, one of the base member or the glazing member including a cavity receiving the vacuum port of the vacuum insulated glass unit, the base member defining a second slot receiving a portion of the third glass substrate.

A window assembly comprising:

• a plurality of vacuum insulated glass units each including first and second glass substrates defining a space therebetween that is at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure;
• and
• a frame assembly supporting the vacuum insulated glass units and including a base member and a glazing member, the base member and the glazing member cooperating to define a first slot in which a portion of a first one of the vacuum insulated glass units is received, the base member defining a second slot receiving a portion of a second one of the vacuum insulated glass units, wherein one of the base member or the glazing member includes a recess adjacent the first slot that receives a portion of the first one of the vacuum insulated glass units when the first one of the vacuum insulated glass units is in a distorted condition,
• wherein one of the first and second glass substrates includes a vacuum port defining a passage extending through the one of the first and second glass substrates and in communication with the space, and wherein the vacuum port is disposed on the portion of first one of the vacuum insulated glass units that is received in the first slot.
