Vacuum insulated glass and method making vacuum insulated glass

Abstract

A method is provided for making vacuum insulated glass. The method may comprise introducing a first substrate and a second substrate into a low-pressure chamber, pressing the first and second substrate onto each other, the surfaces of the first and second substrate facing each other, wherein, after the pressing, a sealant has been applied around the perimeter of the surface of the first and second substrate outside a sealant barrier on the first substrate, thus sealing a low-pressure layer extending between the first and second substrate, wherein the sealant barrier maintains an integrity of the sealant after the sealant is exposed to atmospheric pressure outside the low-pressure chamber.
