Abstract (en)

The present disclosure relates to a roof window (1) for installation in a roof structure of a building. The roof window (1) comprises a frame arrangement (2) and an insulating glass unit that is supported by the frame arrangement (2). The insulating glass unit comprises a first glass sheet (3a), a third glass sheet (3c), and a second intermediate glass sheet (3b) placed between the first glass sheet and the third glass sheet. A first insulating gap is provided between a major surface of the first, outer glass sheet, and a major surface (3b2) of the second, intermediate glass sheet (3b). The first insulating gap (4a) is sealed by means of a first edge seal (6a). A second insulating gap is provided between another major surface of the second, intermediate glass sheet, and a major surface of the third glass sheet. The second insulating gap (4b) is sealed by means of a second edge seal (6b). A side portion (8) of a major surface (3b2) of the second, intermediate glass sheet (3b) extends with a first distance (DIS1) past a side edge (7a) of the first glass sheet (3a) and past an outer side surface (6ae) of the first edge seal (6a) that faces away from the first insulating gap (4a), so as to provide an elongated utility space (10), such as a water drainage channel. The utility space overlaps said side portion (8) and is placed opposite to the outer side surface (6ae) of the first edge seal (6a).
