This invention relates to double glazing having two glass sheets with numerous spacers arranged therebetween, a void therebetween being sealed in a decompressed condition. Conventionally, the glass sheets have edges thereof spaced from each other by a seal. Under the influence of the binding force of the seal, atmospheric pressure tends to act less on outermost spacers than on the other spacers. Consequently, the outermost spacers tend to move between the glass sheets. According to this invention, an outer interval (L1) between each outermost row of spacers (2) and a seal (4) is set at least equal to a basic interval (L0) between the outermost row and a second row adjacent thereto. Consequently, the spacers in the outermost rows bear a larger share of atmospheric pressure acting on the sheet surfaces than the spacers in the other rows. A sufficient force is secured to hold the spacers in the outermost rows in place, thereby preventing the spacers in the outermost rows from moving between the two glass sheets. <IMAGE> |
