Abstract:
Insulated glazing assembly comprising,a frame comprising an internal longitudinal slot; two opposed glazing panels of thermoplastic material, each of said two opposed glazing panels having a three-dimensional pattern, divided by simulated joints in elevated portions projecting outwardly from each of said two opposed glazing panels, each of said simulated joints having a bottom; a peripheral flat flange surrounding said simulated joints and said elevated portions, said peripheral flat flange including an internal confronting surface and an end portion; and a sealing strip interposed between and adhesively secured to said two opposed glazing panels, respectively to their internal confronting surfaces; an elevation L1, measured between said elevated portions and said bottom, is lesser than an overall height L2, measured between said elevated portions and said peripheral flat flange; said insulated glazing assembly being provided with an undivided airtight chamber, located between said two opposed glazing panels, which are held at a predetermined thermally efficient distance, equal to a thickness L3 of said sealing strip compounded with two overall heights L2, and in said internal longitudinal slot of said frame being positioned said end portions of said peripheral flat flanges joined by said sealing strip, so that a thickness of said frame is not determined by a width of said insulated glazing assembly including said non divided airtight chamber, but by thicknesses of said peripheral flat flanges and said sealing strip.
