A rain shield is provided for exterior architectural windows which prevents rain water from intruding into a dwelling. The rain shield may include a generally rectangular-planar shield member. The device may also include first and second lower fixed pivots disposed on a lower portion of opposing sides of the shield member. The first and second fixed pivots may be oppositely directed from each other and cooperate to pivot the device between stowed and deployed configurations. The rain shield may also include first and second lateral supports disposed on either side of the shield member.

A shield for enshrouding the door of a mobile home or manufactured home includes a first elongated strip which extends along the length of a co-extensive molding of a door of a manufactured home or mobile home. A top element overlies the top of the door and extends horizontally outwardly from the wall of the home beyond the top of the door. A connector interconnects the top strips. The strips of the shield have a width which is wider than the door such that the door is nested within the space defined by the strips.

A high-performance door system is provided. The door system comprising a door leaf having a framework which includes first and second stiles spaced apart from each other, a first rail joining a first end of the first stile with a first end of the second stile, and a second rail joining a second end of the first stile with a second end of the second stile. The first rail is provided with a groove, and each one of the stiles comprises an inner channel, each inner channel being in fluid communication with the groove. The door leaf further comprises a housing defining a hollow space which is then injected with filler material so as to fill the hollow space and the groove, thereby spreading to each one of the inner channels, thus sealing interstices between the rail and stiles.

A protective device and method for protection of a door frame member and/or door assembly. The protective device may include a body portion and an adjoining flange portion. The body portion may include a free side and a corner side running parallel to each other and may form an L-shaped device. The flange may include guide slot openings for placement of a fastener through the openings. The body portion may have a substantially planar top and a curved bottom with reduced portions forming attachment areas for securing the protective device removably to a door assembly.
