1. A vacuum insulated glass unit frame assembly, wherein said vacuum insulated glass unit frame assembly comprises:
a rectangular vacuum insulated glass unit comprising at least two glass sheets separated by a gap between said glass sheets, wherein a plurality of support structures are distributed in said gap and wherein said gap is sealed, and
a frame comprising elongated frame profile arrangements which frames said vacuum insulated glass unit in a frame opening, the frame further comprising:
holding parts for fixating said vacuum insulated glass unit, and
flexible connection arrangements connecting the holding parts to elongated frame profile arrangements,
wherein said flexible connection arrangements are configured to flex when said vacuum insulated glass unit exerts a bending moment on the holding parts, so that said holding parts will move relative to the elongated frame profile arrangements to which the individual holding part is connected;
wherein the largest total edge deflection of any of the edges of the vacuum insulated glass unit, at a temperature difference (ΔT=T1−72) between the two glass sheets of 65° C. as compared to the vacuum insulated glass unit at a temperature difference (ΔT=T1−T2) of 0° C. is at least 2 mm.
