Window lite assemblies and methods for installing the assemblies are provided herein. The assemblies described herein are configured to be installed in new and existing buildings, especially in building corners, while leaving some or all of the horizontal structural members such as headers and sills in place.

A main tilting door for the closure of an access opening of a room comprises two fixed uprights and one fixed crosspiece associable with each other to define a fixed frame. The fixed uprights comprise vertical sliding guides; two movable uprights and two movable crosspieces associable with each other to define a movable frame; tilting movement means comprising: two lateral supporting arms each having a first end which can be hinged to an intermediate area of the movable uprights and a second end which can be hinged to a top of the fixed uprights; two sliding supports movable along the vertical sliding guides; a plurality of panels associable with the movable frame; wherein at least one of said movable uprights and said movable crosspieces comprises a sliding track and a plurality of cursors movable along the sliding track, the panels being associable with the cursors.

A glazing assembly comprises a glazing support system for attaching a glazing unit to a frame element. The glazing support system comprises: a tension member for extending around a major portion of the periphery of the glazing unit 4; and a connection system for coupling the tension member to the frame element in at least two locations and for transferring tension forces from the tension member to the frame element whilst compression forces arising due to tension in the tension member are applied to the outside of the glazing unit.

A profile assembly includes two profile elements, a profile connecter element, and at least one fastening element connecting the two profile elements to each other using the profile connecter element. The first profile element includes guide channels for receiving two leg parts of the profile connecter element. The first profile element includes at least one fastening channel for receiving the fastening. The second profile element includes a U-shaped recess for receiving the profile connecter element. In the base, the profile connecter element and second profile element in the bottom of the U-shaped recess thereof respectively include at least one mounting opening corresponding to the fastening channel for passing the fastening element there-through. At least the second profile element is formed in several parts and includes two shell parts in the direction of interior and exterior rooms. The profile shell parts are connected to each other, yet thermally insulated.

An intruder resistant screen providing improved strength. The improved intruder resistant screen comprises a frame, a woven wire intruder resistant mesh covering an opening enclosed by the frame, a plurality of clamp elements engaging with frame members to hold the mesh by a leveraged clamping action and at least one fastener holding each clamping member to the frame member. Each fastener has a drilling portion, a shank portion, a head and a thread. The frame comprises multiple frame members joined by corner stakes and there are two or more clamp elements engaging each frame member.

The present disclosure relates generally to acoustic panels, for example, suitable for acoustic ceiling surfaces. The present disclosure relates more particularly to acoustic panels that include a panel body (e.g., comprising fiberglass, or having an NRC value in the range of at least 0.5, e.g., 0.5-0.95 or 0.5-0.9) and a perimeter frame extending around a side edge of the panel body. The perimeter frame includes a plurality of frame members including a first frame member and a second frame member. A first adhesive bonds the frame members to the panel body. A second adhesive with a shorter working time may also bond the frame members to the panel body. In addition, or alternatively, a bracket that couples the frame members to one another includes a sharp projection that hinders removal of the bracket from the frame members once assembled. These aspects allow the acoustic panel to be handled before the first adhesive is cured.

A fenestration unit configured to support a shootbolt locking system includes a panel including a panel frame with a stile member and a rail member that are attached by a corner joint. The stile and rail members are elongate and extend along a respective linear axis. The stile member is configured to receive and support at least part of the shootbolt locking system. The stile member includes a stile end with a first wall, and the rail member includes a rail end with a second wall. The corner joint includes a first bracket and a second bracket that are attached together. The first bracket is disposed within the stile end. The first wall is disposed between the first and second brackets. The second bracket projects away from the stile member, and the second bracket is received within the rail end and attached to the second wall.

A fenestration unit includes a first glass unit, a first panel frame, a second glass unit, a second panel frame, a sill flashing, and a frame. The frame includes a header, jambs, and a frame sill including a first track and a second track. The first panel frame and the first glass unit are slidable along the first track when positioned in the frame. The second panel frame and the second glass unit are slidable along the second track when positioned in the frame. The sill flashing includes a base extending under the first and second tracks and a wall extending upward from the base to inhibit moisture intrusion through the fenestration unit. The frame sill is removable from the frame without disassembling the sill flashing, the jambs, and the header.

A corner support assembly for metal framed doors reinforces mounting of a metal door, so that the door molding easily attaches to extruded vertical and horizontal frame members of the corner support assembly. A top wall of the frame members with guide lines and molding that sits into a snap-fit mating relationship with corresponding frame members; thereby negating the need for notching. A heavy shear block provides structural integrity. The shear block abuts the intersection of the horizontal and vertical frame members, sliding between molding grooves in the vertical frame member. The shear block and horizontal and vertical frame members are secured into place with at least one of: a shear screw and a plug weld. An elongated threaded bolt reinforces connections between the horizontal and vertical frame members. A rubber glass setting block rests adjacent to the top wall of frame members to receive a glass pane.

The invention is a method, an apparatus and a kit of parts for assembling a universal frame with at least two jambs, a lintel and a sill. The resulting frame is suitable for any size of opening and any size of door, with the option to include single doors or double doors as well as side screens and/or side lights. The frame is typically assembled by cutting the jambs (and optionally the sill and/or lintel) to a selected size, attaching keys to each end of each jamb and inserting the keys into keying channels in the sill and lintel.
