(57) In the method, a glazing element (30) is mounted to an external door (10) with a
thermal insulation layer (12). A glass opening (20) is formed in the exterior door,
with a glazing rebate (22) in the edge thereof. The glazing element is mounted against
the glazing rebate such that the edges of the glazing element are supported against
the glazing rebate. In the method, the glazing rebate is formed in the thermal insulation
layer of the outer door, whereby the glazing element to be mounted in the glass opening
is supported at its edges directly on the thermal insulation layer. Preferably, the
glazing rebate is formed by working the thermal insulation layer of the exterior door
in connection with forming of the glass opening. The width of the glazing rebate can
be chosen freely. The width can be, for example, a half of the difference between
the thickness of the thermal insulation layer and the thickness of the glazing element,
whereby the glazing element is placed in the middle of the thermal insulation layer.
The glazing rebate can be formed in the edge of the glass opening on side of the inner
surface (14) of the external door, and in the edge on side of the outer surface of
the glass opening an outer glazing bead (24) going around the edges of the glass opening
can be mounted. The edges of the glazing element to be mounted in the glass opening
are thereby tightly compressed between the glazing rebate and the glazing bead.
