VACUUM INSULATING GLASS (VIG) WINDOW UNIT
In certain example embodiments of this invention, a window unit may include a vacuum IG (VIG) unit as an inboard lite and a monolithic lite as an outboard lite. A dead air space may separate the inboard and outboard lites. Low-emissivity (low-E) coatings are provided in particular locations of the window unit in order to reduce the likelihood of thermal breakage by reducing the temperature of at least one of the glass substrates. For example, in certain example embodiments, low-E coatings are provided in particular locations of the window unit in order to reduce the temperature of a middle glass substrate of the structure, which in turn reduces the difference in temperature between the two glass substrates of the VIG unit, thereby reducing the likelihood of thermal breakage of the window.
