Vig unit lamination

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method of providing a laminated vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, wherein the method comprises: —providing a lamination assembly () comprising a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit () comprising at least two glass sheets () separated by a plurality of support structures () distributed in a gap () between the glass sheets (), and a lamination layer () arranged between one of the glass sheets () of the vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit () and a further sheet (). The lamination assembly () is subjected to a heating step at a heating location so as to soften the lamination layer to provide a bonding between the vacuum insulated glass unit and the lamination layer (), and a bonding between the further sheet () and the lamination layer (). The heated lamination assembly () is then subjected to a cooling step provided by a cooling system (), wherein said cooling step comprises providing a controlled cooling of one or both major outer surfaces () of the heated lamination assembly () so as to cool said heated lamination assembly () to harden said lamination layer (). The present disclosure additionally relates to use of a cooling system.
