ABSTRACT
In the article, the impact of differentiation of glass panes stiffness on loads and deflections in insulating glass units with sealed glass spaces has been analysed. Calculative examples of glass units properties under environmental loads has been presented. It has been proven, that the increase of glass panes stiffness in the units results in the decrease of the possibilities of positive compensation of climatic loads by the pressure in the gas spaces. It may affect negatively the maximal glass panes deflections, especially, in case of differentiation of their stiffness.
