An inner frame of a door or a window is disclosed. The inner frame is disposed at an inner side of a window sash, and is connected between a jamb of the door or the window sash and a door frame or a window frame. The inner frame includes a fixing portion for fixing to the jamb, a water baffle, and a connecting portion for connecting with the door frame or the window frame. One side of the fixing portion is fixed to the jamb, the water baffle is integrally disposed on the other side of the fixing portion opposite to the one side, and the connecting portion is integrally disposed on a side of the water baffle facing away from the fixing portion and is connected to the door frame or the window frame.

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 microcellular polyurethane foam.

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 window attachment system for attaching a window to an opening in a building includes a male portion and a female portion. One of the male portion and the female portion is attached to one of the outer perimeter of the window frame or the inner perimeter of the opening in the building. The other of the male portion and the female portion is attached to the outer perimeter of the window frame or the inner perimeter of the opening in the building. The male portion is engaged with the female portion when the window is placed into the opening.

A frame may include three or more portions having an upper portion disposed adjacent an upper end of an opening and two side portions disposed along either edge of the opening, and in some cases a lower portion when the opening is for a window or some doors. A first frame segment and the second frame segment are adjustable with respect to each other in order to extend around the thickness of the door opening. The segments may have one or more thermal barriers, such as a seal (e.g., u-shaped, v-shaped, or the like seal) located between portions of the segments. The first frame segment may be adjusted with respect to the second frame segment. The adjustment of the segments may be made before or after the one or more thermal barriers are installed.

The invention relates to a profiled plastic section (1) for a metal/plastic composite profiled section (31). The profiled plastic section (1) comprises a first profiled element (2) and at least one second profiled element (3). The first profiled element (2) and the second profiled element (3) together form a latching mechanism (4, 9; 5, 10; 6, 11), by means of which a form-fitting connection can preferably be produced between the first profiled element (2) and the second profiled element (3) in a width direction (x) and in a height direction (y). The first profiled element (2) and the second profiled element (3) overlap preferably over a large area when the form-fitting connection is produced between the first profiled element (2) and the second profiled element (3), and the form-fitting connection can be produced on the cross-sectional plane (x, y) between the first profiled element (2) and the second profiled element (3) by latching the profiled elements (2, 3) of the profiled plastic section (1). The form-fitting connection between the first profiled element (2) and the second profiled element (3) is designed such that a movement of the first profiled element (2) and the second profiled element (3) in a longitudinal direction (z) of the profiled plastic section (1) is allowed when a first metal component (29) is connected to the first profiled element (2) and a second metal component (30) is connected to the second profiled element (3) preferably in a shear-resistant manner. The profiled plastic section (1) can likewise also be designed with more than two profiled elements (2, 3), and the basic principle according to the invention of generating a shear-free plastic/metal composite profiled section (31) can be carried over.

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.

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.
