Abstract: An insulating glazing includes first and second panes, a spacer, a glazing interior, and an outer interpane space. The first pane is attached to a first pane contact surface and a first side surface of the spacer, the second pane is attached to a second pane contact surface and a second side surface of the spacer, the spacer includes a polymeric main body and a reinforcing profile including an inner face, an outer face, and two side surfaces, the inner face of the reinforcing profile is materially joined at least in some sections to the outer surface of the polymeric body and the width of the reinforcing profile is less than or equal to the width of the polymeric body, and no outer seal is introduced into the outer interpane space, and the outer face of the reinforcing profile is an exposed surface of the insulating glazing facing the surroundings.

Abstract: A corner connector for connecting two hollow-profile strips of an insulating glazing unit is presented. The corner connector includes a first plug-in leg, a second plug-in leg, a corner region, and a capillary tube with a first opening and a second opening. According to one aspect, the corner region connects the second plug-in leg to the first plug-in leg so to form angle between 45° and 180° between the two plug-in legs. According to another aspect, the first plug-in leg, the second plug-in leg, and the corner region are injection molded, and the capillary tube is integrally molded into the corner region. When installed, the capillary tube establishes a connection between the inner interpane space and corresponding surroundings of the insulating glazing unit.

Abstract: A connector for connecting two hollow-profile strips of an insulating glazing unit is presented. The connector includes two plug-in legs suitable for insertion into the hollow-profile strips, and a connection region where the two plug-in legs are connected. The connection region includes an outer surface, two pane contact surfaces, and an inner surface. According to one aspect, the connector includes a cavity to establish a passage from the inner interpane space to corresponding surroundings of the insulating glazing unit. According to another aspect, the cavity has a first opening in the outer surface of the connection region that is sealed with a gas-permeable and water-vapor-tight membrane.
