Abstract
There is described a multiple-pane sealed glazing unit having two or more parallel glazing sheets which are spaced apart and sealed at the peripheral edges. Incorporated within the unit is a decorative feature comprised of patterns applied to two or more of the glazing sheets and where at least portions of these patterns register with each other and are of sufficient width as to provide the visual appearance of solid members spanning the spacing between at least two of the glazing sheets. In one preferred embodiment, the registering patterns are striped criss-cross patterns and provide the visual appearance of traditional muntin-bar windows. In a second preferred embodiment, the registering patterns are also striped criss-cross patterns and provide the visual appearance of traditional leaded-glass window panels. In a third preferred embodiment, the registering patterns provide the visual appearance of traditional lattice-work, sun-screen panels.
