Zusammenfassung:A vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit frame assembly (10) is disclosed, comprising: a rectangular vacuum insulated glass unit (1) comprising two glass sheets (2a, 2b) separated by a sealed gap (11), wherein a plurality of support structures (12) are distributed in said gap (11), and a frame (20) comprising elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d) which frames said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) in a frame opening (21), and wherein said frame (20) comprises a fixation system (45a, 45b, 28a, 28b, 80, 22, 23) fixating the vacuum insulated glass unit (1) at the frame (20), wherein said fixation system (45a, 45b, 28a, 28b, 80, 22, 23) is arranged so as to allow edges (8a-8d) of said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) to thermally deflect (DIS4) in a deflection direction (D1, D2) perpendicular to said frame opening due to a temperature difference (ΔT=T1−T2) between the two glass sheets (2a, 2b), wherein said fixation system (45a, 45b, 28a, 28b, 80, 22, 23) is configured to allow the magnitude of said thermal deflection (DIS4) to vary along the edge (8a-8d) between the corners (9) where the respective edge (8a-8d) terminates, wherein said fixation system (45a, 45b, 28a, 28b, 80, 22, 23) is arranged to provide a resistance against said thermal deflection (DIS4) of at least two opposing edges (8a-8d) of said vacuum insulated glass unit (1), said resistance being substantially lower at corner parts of the edges (8a-8d) than at centre parts of the edges (8a-8d), and wherein said centre parts of said at least two opposing, parallel edges (8a-8d) constitute at least a third, such as half of the extend of the edge (8a-8d) between said corners (9).
