  • Light dispersive insulated glazing unit
    Patent number: 6259541
    Abstract: A method for fabricating light dispersive insulated glazing units is provided. According to this method a substantially sealed integral unit comprising a pair of spaced glazing lites and a heat-shrinkable light dispersive film interposed between the glazing lites and spaced apart from the glazing lites is formed, the light dispersive film being fixed along at least two of its edges with respect to the edges of the glazing lites. The assembled structure is then subjected to a heat treatment for a time and at a temperature sufficient to heat shrink the light dispersive film and cause it to become taut and wrinkle-free.
