Example aspects of a simulated steel fenestration system, an insulated fenestration system, and a method for insulating a fenestration system are disclosed. The simulated steel fenestration system can comprise a frame, a pane assembly assembled with the frame, and a muntin bar, wherein at least one of the frame and the muntin bar comprise a non-steel material configured to resemble steel.

There is included an intermediate element including one or more, but not necessarily limited to, an L-shaped profiled portion configured to receive a part of a panel of a door or window, a pad configured to be fit into at least one frame part and comprising a support strip groove, and an intermediate element extended from the L-shaped portion to the pad.

A window system for a building includes a panel and a first element assembly that supports the panel and includes a cross member and a pressure plate laterally offset from the cross member. A glazing pocket is defined between the cross member and the pressure plate, and a thermal separator is positioned within the glazing pocket and extends between the pressure plate and the cross member. The thermal separator includes a tongue extension and a rod gasket seals an interface between the tongue extension and the cross member.

There is provided a sash apparatus for securing in a window or a door, and a methods making same. The sash apparatus comprises a frame with multiple segments securable to the window or door, where each of the segments has an internal passage therein. The multiple segments are arranged and coupled together at non-straight angles to form the frame, with the internal passages within the segments in fluid communication with one another. The sash apparatus also includes a bonding fill at least partially filling the internal passages within the frame to hold the multiple segments together.

A thermally-broken slidable panel frame assembly formed from a plurality of aluminum profile assemblies. The aluminum profile assemblies can include different shaped aluminum profiles that can be coupled together with thermal break strips. The aluminum profile assemblies, in turn, can be snap fitted together to form a complete frame assembly that can support slidable panels. The frame assembly can be integrated with other components to form a slidable panel system for sliding doors or windows or other slidable panels. The frame assembly is assembled from multiple individual components, providing for ease in setup and installation compared to previous implementations.

A portal can include at least one rail and at least one stile, each end of each rail connected to an end of each stile such that the portal defines a frame, wherein at least one stile can include a first stile and a second stile; a thermal strut arranged between the first stile and the second stile, the thermal strut being of an insulating material; and an insulative bar arranged between the first stile and the second stile, the insulative bar being of an insulating material.
