A glazing for a façade glazing, window, door, or interior room divider, includes a frame having a metallic first frame element, a metallic second frame element, and a connecting polymeric third frame element surrounding the frame elements at least in some sections and preferably completely, and a glazing unit arranged in the frame, wherein at least one RFID transponder is arranged on one of the inner faces of the frame, a strip-shaped coupling element is electromagnetically coupled to the RFID transponder, and the coupling element is galvanically or capacitively coupled, in at least one coupling region, to one of the metallic frame elements and preferably, in two coupling regions, to, in each case, one of the metallic frame elements.

A thermally enhanced extrudate includes a channel, a first wall, and a second wall. The channel extends along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end of the thermally enhanced extrudate and is shaped to receive glass or a frame. The second wall is spaced from the first wall. The first wall and the second wall partially enclose a thermal break extending along the longitudinal axis. The thermal break has a first width defined between the first wall and the second wall at an upper end of the thermal break and a second width defined between the first wall and the second wall at a lower end of the thermal break. The thermally enhanced extrudate further includes a solid insulation material in the thermal break between the first and second walls and formed by curing a flowable material.

A façade system includes a mullion having exterior and interior portions and defining a glazing pocket between the exterior and interior portions, a thermal break arranged within the glazing pocket and extending between the exterior and interior portions, the thermal break dividing the glazing pocket into a shallow pocket and a deep pocket larger than the shallow pocket, and a collapsible element arranged within the deep pocket and extending between the thermal break and a lateral side of a panel introduced into the deep pocket. The collapsible element is movable between a collapsed state and an expanded state. The collapsible element divides the deep pocket into two or more thermal chambers when in the expanded state to reduce heat transfer by convection through the glazing pocket.

There is a frame insulator that covers a window or door frame. A door or window has one or more panels that are supported by frame members. The frame members have interior surfaces and exterior surfaces. The one or more panels are mounted on the frame members. The interior surfaces or the exterior surfaces or both are enclosed by sheets of cross-linked polyethylene foam extending adjacent to the one or more panels and forming frame insulators.

Window and door opening assemblies are disclosed herein that incorporate one or more high-density insulation cores and methods for constructing thereof. The high-density insulation cores are comprised of polyurethane foam with uniform high density and high structural integrity.

The present invention relates to an improved framing system for doors or windows, fixed panels and modular composite spans, by means of which an exterior minimalist aspect can be executed. It comprises: at least one fixed rim (7) and at least one movable panel (8) in which the glass (4) is glued, thus being part of the structural component of the movable panel (8) and making possible to manufacture larger spans, so that one can have, for example, larger swinging windows; fixation chambers for fixing squares (1), located in the fixed rim (7); polyamide thermal cutting elements (2); ironmongery (5) and elements for mechanically retaining the glass (4) from the outside of the movable panel. This structural innovation has advantages as eliminating the torsion of the monolithic panel block, optimising the system's mechanical behaviour, improving the functionality of the manoeuvring accessories and increasing the lifespan of the wearing accessories.

A vacuum insulated door for an appliance includes an outer wrapper that defines an evacuation port, An inner liner is coupled to the outer wrapper defining an insulating cavity therebetween. A base is coupled to the outer wrapper adjacent to the evacuation port. A servicing tube has a connecting end and a servicing end. The servicing tube is in fluid communication with the insulating cavity via the evacuation port. The connecting end is coupled to the base. A handle has first and second ends coupled to the outer wrapper and a center portion therebetween spaced-apart from the outer wrapper. The first end is coupled to the outer wrapper proximate the evacuation port. The servicing tube extends along an inner surface of the handle.

Provided is a tower of a wind turbine, having a hollow inner space and a door for opening and closing an aperture into the inner space, wherein the door is a sliding door, which is slidingly arranged on a tower aperture member attached to the tower, and which sliding door is at least partially sealed by a seal to the tower aperture member at least when the door is in the closed position.

An apparatus for an architectural opening may include a plurality of panels. At least one of the plurality of panels may include a frame including a plurality of first frame members and a plurality of second frame members sealed together at respective interfaces to define at least one opening. The interfaces may be defined by ends of the first frame members positioned at least partially within respective apertures defined in the second frame members. Each frame member may include an internal cavity, with the apertures fluidically connecting the internal cavities of the frame members. An inset panel may be secured within the at least one opening. One or more hinges may pivotably connect a first panel of the plurality of panels to a second panel of the plurality of panels. The apparatus may be a garage door, an entry door, a window, or a storefront.
