A recessed window assembly comprises a housing configured for recessed installation within a frame wall of a building adjacent a window opening and at least two sliding window components slidingly disposed within the housing such that the sliding window components are at least substantially disposed within the housing when in a non-deployed position and that fill the window opening when in a deployed position. The window components can comprise, for example, a transparent untinted window, a transparent tinted window, a translucent window, a window screen, a security plate, an electric fan, or an air filter.

A method of installing a window and composite window bracket comprises a first member and a second member, and an at least one accessory member to couple the composite window bracket to at least one accessory bracket. The first member includes a first surface extending from a first end of the first member to a second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end first member to the second end first member, the first surface of the first member to be coupled to a support beam. The second member supports a window disposed on the first surface of the second member.

An encapsulated glass assembly includes a glass panel and a plastic frame coupled to the glass panel and an encapsulant for securing the frame to the panel. The frame includes at least three sides, wherein at least two and less than all of the at least three sides of the frame have a C-shaped channel extending within an outer frame surface and wherein another one side of the at least three sides does not have a C-shaped channel. The panel is introduced onto the inner surface of the lower wall portion of the another one side and then slid within each one of the C-shaped channels on the at least two sides. An encapsulant is bonded onto the panel and frame to secure the frame to the panel. The encapsulant has a Shore hardness less than the Shore hardness of the frame.

The support and insulation element for supporting and insulating a window frame has a support part and an insulating part. The support part has a first leg comprising a first side surface, a second leg, which projects from the first leg, and a third leg, which projects from the first leg a certain distance away from the second leg. The support part is made of load-bearing material. The insulating part is arranged at least on the side of the first leg of the support part opposite the first side surface and is made of compacted mineral wool or a rigid foam. The insulating part comprises two slots, into which the second leg and the third leg of the support part are inserted. The insulating part surrounds three sides of both the second leg and the third leg of the support part.

A prefabricated integrated window and wall is provided. The prefabricated integrated window and wall includes a window frame, a wall, and a power system. The window frame is configured to hold a variety of different windows. The window frame includes a frame head and a sill. The frame head includes a channel. The sill includes tabs. The wall is configured around the window frame. The wall is configured to connect to the tabs of the sill and the channel of the frame head. The power system is molded into the window frame. A method of assembling the prefabricated integrated window and wall is also provided.

A window unit and replacement window cladding method and system which is provided as a single unit to be installed as a complete new window that fits over the head, side jamb and sill of an existing window frame and the old window frame that is cladded with head jamb, side jamb, and sill cover assemblies defining an opening in which one or more sash units is pivotally secured forming a replacement window unit, without any loss of glass size and egress, and without disturbing the building interior.

The vehicle window member with the window frame includes: the vehicle-window-use transparent plate-shaped body; the window frame made of a thermoplastic resin arranged at a region including a peripheral edge part of at least one principle surface; a functional sol-gel layer arranged at one of principle surfaces of the plate-shaped body where the window frame is arranged and between the window frame and the plate-shaped body to be partially overlapped with an arrangement region of the window frame; a primer layer arranged at substantially the same region as the arrangement region of the window frame at the plate-shaped body side of the window frame to be adjacent to the window frame; and an overcoat layer arranged between the functional sol-gel layer and the primer layer to include a region where both are overlapped, and mainly constituted of an oxide of at least one selected from Si, Ti, Zr and Zn.
