<p>A method for forming an insulating glazing unit (6) comprising the steps of (A) providing a spacer body (10) in an automated apparatus adapted to create insulating glazing units; the spacer body (10) having at least two sides adapted to engage the inner surfaces of the glass sheets (22) that are used to form the insulating glazing unit (6); (B) applying a sealant (18) to the spacer body (10) after step (A) to form a sealant-laden spacer body (10) with portions of the sealant disposed adjacent to each of the sides adapted to engage the inner surfaces of the glass (22); (C) forming a spacer frame from the sealant-laden spacer body (10) after step (B) while applying the sealant-laden spacer body (10) to a glass sheet (22); the method being free of the step of manually handling the sealant-laden spacer body after step (B); and (D) using the spacer frame to form an insulating glazing unit (6).</p> |
