Definitions
- This invention relates to insulated glass units of the kind which include two or more sheets of glass separated by a frame which extends around the periphery of the sheets.
- the frame is formed of hollow spacer bar which contains a desiccant to absorb moisture from the air space between the sheets via holes formed in the inner surface of the spacer frame.
- the spacer bar may be of plain rectangular shape, of so called D and T shaped transverse section, or of any other suitable cross-sectional shape.
- spacer frames may be constructed in a variety of ways. Often the straight sides of the frame may be formed of separate lengths, which are connected at the corners by flexible or rigid metal or plastics corner keys. More recently, automatic spacer bending machines have been introduced, which allow one or more lengths of spacer bar to be bent to form a rectangular frame. The abutting ends are joined by straight connectors or corner keys of metal or plastics, or they may be welded together and dressed off.
- Sealant is applied to the outer surface of the spacer frame (usually referred to as its back face) to bond the spacer frame to the sheets of glass giving structural integrity to the unit, and provide a barrier against moisture penetration.
- a primary sealant is applied to the two side faces of the spacer before assembly. This acts as a handling aid to hold the two sheets of glass to the spacer and provides an additional barrier against moisture penetration.
- the sealant applied to the back face of the spacer is referred to as the secondary sealant.
- the internal space between the glass sheets is usually filled with air, although inert gas may also be used.
- the present invention proposes a method of sealing a region of a spacer frame for an insulated glass unit, which comprises securing a sheet of flexible, moisture-impermeable material to the spacer frame by means of an adhesive.
- the sheet is normally secured to the back and side faces of the spacer frame.
- the primary sealant which may be of butyl rubber for example, usually has a very high resistance to moisture penetration.
- the resistance to moisture transmission of butyl rubber is very much higher than that of many of the usual secondary sealants.
- the sheet of moisture impermeable material will usually comprise a malleable (ferrous or non-ferrous) metal such as aluminium.
- Plastics sheets e.g of polyester, may also be used, with or without a metallised coating, e.g of aluminium.
- Pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesives are suitable for securing the sheet to the spacer frame.
- the invention includes:
- two lengths of metal spacer 1, 2 are joined in an end-to-end relationship in known manner, e.g by means of a metal or plastics straight connector (not shown).
- the abutted ends of the two lengths of spacer 1, 2 would normally constitute a region of the spacer frame where there is a high risk of moisture penetration into the internal space between the glass sheets.
- the secondary sealant is thinnest at this point and moisture penetrating the joint in the back of the spacer could by-pass the primary seal on the sides of the spacer.
- this region is sealed by means of a sheet of aluminium foil 3 having one face coated with a layer of acrylic or other suitable pressure-sensitive adhesive (not shown).
- the adhesive layer may be protected by a peelable backing sheet (not shown), which is removed prior to application of the seal.
- the adhesive layer is pressed against the back surfaces A of the two lengths of spacer 1, 2, with the foil 3 overlapping the spacer equally on both sides of the joint, so that the adhesive firmly bonds the sheet 3 to the lengths of spacer.
- the opposite side edges 30 of the sheet extend over and are similarly bonded to the opposed side faces B and C of the spacer bar, as shown.
- the side faces B and C are bonded to the glass sheets 4 and 5, as shown in Fig. 2, by means of a primary sealant 6, e.g of butyl rubber.
- a secondary sealant e.g of polysulphide, polyurethane, or silicone, is then applied to the back face A of the spacer bar to fill the remaining channel formed between the glass sheets 4 and 5.
- the spacer bar may be of any desired transverse sectional shape and that any suitable primary sealant could be used, with or without a secondary sealant.
- the method will still seal the back of the spacer if only a secondary sealant is used, i.e. without a primary sealant.
