Abstract
A sealed double glazing unit has outer and inner panes (2, 3) and a perimeter seal (4, 5). The unit is fixed to a supporting structure at fixing positions within the perimeter seal. At each fixing position there is a fixing assembly (8, 12, 16) which is sealed into the unit and is attached to one pane only so that flexing of the unit under wind load is permitted. Preferably each fixing assembly is fixed to a hole (13) in one pane and passes through a hole (20) in the other pane with sufficient clearance to facilitate the flexing of the unit when it is installed as part of a glass wall assembly.
