Abstract:
1. A method of making a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, the method comprising: providing first and second glass substrates; providing a plurality of spacers; sealing together the first and second substrates such that the first and second substrates are in substantially parallel, spaced apart orientation to one another and to define a gap therebetween; and evacuating the gap to a pressure less than atmospheric, wherein a first lamellar coating is provided between the spacers and the first substrate, and a second lamellar coating is provided between the spacers and the second substrate so as to at least partially offset tensile stresses also applied to the first and second glass substrates, and wherein the first lamellar coatings is provided across substantially the entire surface of the first glass substrate, and the second lamellar coatings is provided across substantially the entire surface of the second glass substrate.
