    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit frame assembly (10), wherein said vacuum insulated glass unit frame assembly (1) comprises: a vacuum insulated glass unit (1), and a frame (20) comprising elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d, 70) which frames said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) in a frame opening (21). The frame further comprises: —holding parts (6) for fixating said vacuum insulated glass unit (1), and—flexible connection arrangements (7) connecting the holding parts (6) to elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d). The flexible connection arrangements (7) are configured to flex when said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) exerts a bending moment (M) on the holding parts (6), so that said holding parts (6) will move relative to the elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d, 70) to which the individual holding part (6) is connected. The present disclosure moreover relates to a vacuum insulated glass unit and a frame.

    Abstract: A vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit frame assembly is disclosed comprising: a rectangular vacuum insulated glass unit comprising two glass sheets separated by a sealed gap, wherein a plurality of support structures are distributed in the gap, and a frame arrangement comprising elongated frame profile arrangements which frames the vacuum insulated glass unit in a frame opening, and wherein the frame arrangement comprises a fixation system fixating the vacuum insulated glass unit at the frame arrangement, wherein the frame is arranged so as to allow edges of the vacuum insulated glass unit to thermally deflect in a deflection direction perpendicular to the frame opening plane due to a temperature difference (ΔT=T1−T2) between the two glass sheets, and to provide a restriction of the thermal deflection of the edges, so as to reduce the magnitude of the thermal deflection compared to an unrestricted thermal deflection of the edges at the temperature difference (ΔT=T1−T2).

    Abstract: A packed flashing assembly (1) for use with a group of roof windows comprising at least two roof windows mounted adjacent to each other in a sloped roof structure (3) is disclosed. The flashing assembly comprises a first set (I) of flashing members including one top flashing member (11), one bottom flashing member (12), and two side flashing members (13, 14) contained in a first packaging element (4), and a second set (II) of flashing members including one middle gutter flashing member (15, 19) and two other flashing members (11, 12; 13, 14) contained in a second packaging element. When mounting the flashing assembly at least three flashing members of the first set are mounted at a first roof window, and at least one flashing member of the first set is mounted at a second roof window, and the second set is mounted at the second roof window.

    Abstract: In the roof window, a stationary primary frame (1) with frame members includes two opposing side members (1a), a first secondary frame includes a sash (2) with two opposing side members (2a), and a second secondary frame including an intermediate frame (6) are provided. A lifting device (7) including a spring assembly (7a) acting on a lifting arm (7b) is inserted between the stationary primary frame (1) and the intermediate frame (6). A top hinge arrangement (8) is connected to the primary frame (1) and to the sash (2) and the intermediate frame (6) to define a first hinge axis (α1) at or near a top of the roof window in a first operational condition of the roof window. To provide a second operational condition of the roof window, the hinge arrangement comprises a set of hinges (10) connected to the intermediate frame (6) and to the sash (2) to define a second hinge axis of the roof window in the second operational condition of the roof window. Each of the hinges (10) comprises a frame hinge part, a sash hinge part, and a movement supporting assembly with a linkage mechanism comprising a number of links and joints.

    Abstract: The roof window system (1) is configured for being mounted in an opening in a roof structure (23) of a building and includes a ventilation unit (5) configured for being mounted adjacent to a roof window (13) and adapted for providing ventilation of the interior of the building in which the roof window is mounted. The roof window comprises a frame (2) defining a frame plane and including a pane (4) mounted in said frame. The frame comprises a top frame member (2a) intended for being located highest in the mounted state when seen in the direction of inclination of the roof structure, a bottom frame member opposite the top frame member, and two side frame members extending between the top frame member and the bottom frame member, said frame members together form a window structure delimiting a frame opening and each having an interior side (2f) intended for facing the interior in the mounted state, an exterior side intended for facing the exterior, an inner side (2d) facing the frame opening and an outer side (2e) facing away from the frame opening. The ventilation unit is configured for being arranged primarily adjacent to the outer side of a frame member, and comprises a lower side (24) configured for being arranged adjacent to or at the interior side (2f) of said frame member (2a). The roof window system further comprises a ventilation panel (3) allowing air passage from one side of the ventilation panel to another side of the ventilation panel, thereby defining an intended air flow direction, said ventilation panel being configured for facing the interior of the building and extending away from the interior side of the frame member adjacent to which the ventilation unit is mounted.
