Abstract:
1. A method for assembling a glass element including at least two glass slabs arranged in a facing relationship, the method comprising: mounting a plurality of holders for anchoring at selective points to a supporting structure, each of the plurality of holders including an inner clamping plate adapted to be connected to an outer clamping plate via connectors, and the plurality of holders being mounted in apertures formed in an inner glass slab facing the supporting structure, the mounting the plurality of holders further includes: placing at least one gas seal around the connector of the inner clamping plate prior to insertion of the inner clamping plate into an aperture of the inner glass slab, placing the inner clamping plate in abutment against an inner face of the inner glass slab prior to an assembly of the inner glass slab and another glass slab, in such a manner that the at least one gas seal is inserted into an aperture of the inner glass slab and respective connecting parts extend at most up to an outer mouth of the apertures, wherein placing the inner clamping plates in abutment against the inner face of the glass slab includes attaching the inner clamping plates to the inner face of the inner glass slab with an adhesive layer being arranged between the inner clamping plates and the inner face of the inner glass slab, and the adhesion force of the adhesive layer is configured to reach its full capacity immediately upon application of the inner clamping plates to the inner face of the inner glass slab, and sealing the apertures of the inner glass slabs with the at least one gas seal in the aperture of the inner glass slabs.
