An extrusion profile, such as a mono- or co-extrusion profile, for a door and/or window part, may include a fiber layer laminated at least partially to an outer side of the profile using an adhesive.

An extrusion profile, such as a coextrusion profile or a monoextrusion profile, for a window and/or door part, such as a window and/or door frame part or a window and/or door wing part, may include at least one profile surface forming the outside of the extrusion profile that is made of a mixture. The mixture may include plastic and at least one pigmented cellulose or at least one mineral. The at least one pigmented cellulose or the at least one mineral may have a mass fraction between 1.0 wt.-% and 15.0 wt.-% of the mixture, in particular between 2.0 wt.-% and 10.0 wt.-% of the mixture.

A profile (e.g. an extrusion profile such as a monoextrusion or co-extrusion profile), for a door and/or window part may include a metal layer of less than 1.0 mm thickness laminated at least partially to an outer side of the profile using an adhesive.

An anti-graffiti window film covering system that includes multiple polymeric film layers. Each layer includes a unique visual indicia to identify the number of sheets remaining in the system.

A method of assembling a building component includes connecting a first glass pane to a second glass pane to form an insulated glass unit. The first glass pane and the second glass pane define a pocket therebetween. The method also includes positioning the insulated glass unit in a frame including a first material. The method further includes connecting cladding including a second material to the frame. The frame defines a cavity that extends between a first side and a second side and is configured to inhibit moisture from the first side contacting the second material. The method also includes aligning a thermal break defined by the frame and the pocket such that the central plane extends through a middle portion of the thermal break. The thermal break and the pocket define a continuous thermal break extending through the building component.

A structural assembly for a frame includes a first rail, a second rail, a third rail, a fourth rail, a first pivotable bracket member coupling the first and second rails, and a second pivotable bracket member coupling the third and fourth rails. The first rail includes a first end, a second end, and a first groove extending a distance between the first end and the second end thereof. The second rail includes a first end, a second end, and a second groove extending a distance between the first end and the second end thereof. The third rail includes a first end, a second end, and a third groove extending a distance between the first end and the second end thereof. The fourth rail includes a first end, a second end, and a fourth groove extending a distance between the first end and the second end thereof.

A novel and useful frameless supplemental window for fenestration incorporating infiltration blockers suitable for use with existing windows. The supplemental window, in one embodiment, comprises plastic sheet material with bullnose edging around it. Corner braces add rigidity and strength to corners in several embodiments. An attachment mechanism secured either to the sheet material or the bullnose edge functions to fasten and/or seal the supplemental window to an existing window. Infiltration blockers fastened to the sheet or bullnose prevent or minimize air leakage around various window elements. The bullnose edging and infiltration blockers function to substantially enclose (i.e. trap) a volume of air between the window pane and the plastic sheet material. The supplemental window is configured such that the layer of air enclosed is of an optimum thickness within a preferred range of 0.15 to 0.75 inches to maximize thermal insulation properties of the supplemental window.
