ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention is a method and apparatus for per- forming such method, whereby ordinary single glass building elements, such as windows, doors and the like are converted to double walled, partially evacuated elements by the use of special adaptive elements in combination with sealant and desicant materials. The apparatus includes the combination with a frame for holding a single pane of glass of an adaptive element comprising an elongated base member having an elongated rail depending from one side thereof and perpendicular to the plane thereof, said rail being inserted in said frame in lieu of glass, a pair of elongated guides--one adjacent each edge of said base--depending from said base in the opposite direc- tion from said rail and at a perpendicular relationship to the base, said guides being provided with serrations on their sur- faces facing one another, and a pair of L-shaped projections depending from said base in the same direction as said elongated guides, said L-shaped projections each having an outer end portion facing one another in a mirror image of such manner as to form a T-shaped cavity intermediate said elongated guides; mastic material partially filling the space between said elongated guides; two panes of glass within said elongated guides, one side of each pane of glass being adjacent the said serrations, the other sides of said panes of glass being at a spaced relationship from one another, an elongated hollow mem- ber containing a desicant extending the length of said panes of glass and adjacent their edges in contact with said mastic. The method includes the steps of placing a sealant material within the members of an adaptive element suitable for holding two panes of glass in a spaced apart relationship, placing two panes of glass in a spaced apart relationship within the sealant and within the adaptive element, placing desicant material be- tween the panes and mounting the adaptive element within the U- shaped portion of the single pane window frame.
