Abstract:
1. A glazing panel, comprising: a housing including at least two glass panes; a spacer that spaces apart the two glass panes; a sealing layer applied to an outer face of the spacer and extending between the spacer and the two glass panes; and a seal made of a single flexible material comprising a body with a longitudinal axis that comprises a base-piece having a first end and an opposed second end, two opposed side walls connecting the two ends, and two shoulders located on either side of each of the two side walls and at one of the ends, wherein, in a section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, a width of the base-piece from one of the side walls to an other of the side walls, in a vicinity of the end on an opposite side from the shoulders, is larger than a width of the base-piece, from the one of the side walls to the other of the side walls, in a vicinity of the end near the shoulders, wherein the width of the base-piece in the vicinity of the end on the opposite side from the shoulders is larger than a width of the housing from the one of the glass panes to the other of the glass panes so that, when the seal is positioned in the housing, the two sides walls contact the two glass panes such that the width of the base-piece in the vicinity of the end on the opposite side from the shoulders is compressed to the width of the housing, and wherein the seal is separated from the spacer and the sealing layer by a space such that the seal does not contact the spacer and the seal does not contact the sealing layer.
