The present disclosure relates to an aperture cover (1) such as a window. The aperture cover comprises a vacuum insulated glass unit (3) and a frame (2). The frame (2) comprises a fixation frame (7) and a sash (6) fixed to the vacuum insulated glass unit (3), and wherein the sash (6) is movably connected to the fixation frame (7) by means of a hinge connection (80). The fixation frame (7) comprises elongated frame members (8a-8d) defining a frame opening (2a) and the vacuum insulated unit (3) overlaps a surface (11) of at least one elongated frame member (8a-8d) of the fixation frame (7). The sash (6) comprises a sash profile (13) which is fixed to the vacuum insulated glass unit (3) at a part (21, 22) of the vacuum insulated glass unit that overlaps (21) and/or extends beyond (22) the overlapped elongated frame member (8a-8d). A resilient sealing gasket (10) is arranged between the overlapped elongated frame member (8a-8d) and the vacuum insulated glass unit, and the resilient sealing gasket (10) is configured to abut the interior major surface (S2) of the vacuum insulated glass unit when the sash (6) is in a closed position. The interior major surface (S2) of the vacuum insulated glass unit is configured to compress the resilient sealing gasket (10) when moving the sash (6) from an open to a closed position.
