The present invention relates to a connective installation structure for modularized windows and doors, the connective installation structure successively arranging and connectively installing, in the horizontal direction, modularized sliding-type doors and windows, doors, or door-type windows that form the window and doors of a building, with fixed windows arranged in the spaces between the windows and doors. The present invention provides the connective installation structure for modularized windows and doors so as to provide a simplified double frame support structure in which the connective structure lateral section view of the frame, formed by the elevation view of the elements that form the connective installation structure of windows and doors, comprises just (window glass or door panel)—window sash frame—window frame—(fixed window glass), the connective installation structure for windows and doors successively arranging and connectively installing, in the horizontal direction, the sliding-type windows, doors, or door-type windows.

Compound fenestration assembly mull joints, compound fenestration assemblies using those mull joints, and methods of making and using the same are described herein. The mull joints in compound fenestration assemblies as described herein use universal joining strips to form both sides of a mull joint, as well as other universal components such as, e.g., corner gussets, locator plates, end plugs, seal members, etc. that may be used as needed to form mull joints as required in a compound fenestration assembly.

A mullion assembly includes at least one mullion pin configured to clamp proximate fenestration frame members together. The at least one mullion pin includes a pin body configured for movable coupling between the proximate fenestration frame members. First and second anchor cleats extend from the pin body. The at least one mullion pin is movable from an introduced configuration to a locked configuration. In the locked configuration the first and second anchor cleats are configured to clamp the fenestration frame members together.

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 modular infill panel system for attaching to vertical structural members of a building frame and adjacent modular infill panel units. The modular infill panel system is capable of creating piecewise curves in the vertical plane as well as complex piecewise three-dimensional curves in a combination of horizontal and vertical planes. The modular infill panel system can include vertically stacked modular infill panel units. The modular infill panel units can be vertically aligned and attached to the building's structural columns by bracket assemblies mounted along one or more outside edges of the top frame member of the structural frame of the modular infill panel units. The bracket assemblies can secure the modular infill panel unit to the vertical structure of the building and alignment pins projecting upward from the bracket assemblies can align vertically adjacent modular infill panel units.

A system for improving the alignment of building product frame members. The system includes a first and second clip member each with an arcuate edge releasably positioned into a channel within the opposed frame members. A longitudinally extending banding strap looped through openings in both first and second clip member. The first end of the longitudinally extending banding strap is inserted into a banding strap tensioning apparatus and tension is applied to the first end as well as to a longitudinally disposed segment of the banding strap that is also inserted into the banding strap tensioning apparatus. Once the specified span is achieved, the overlapping first end and longitudinally disposed segment are bonded together using the banding member tensioning apparatus thereby preventing movement of the first and second frame members away from one another. Sealant is applied to the frame members and the banding strap clip members are removed.

A universal clip assembly for use in restraining in position two window frame members post-assembly until sealant applied to the frame members fully cures. The universal clip assembly includes an upper panel, a lower panel and a hook plate disposed between the upper and lower panels. Each panel includes one or more protrusions extending outwardly from an interior surface of the panel. Interior surfaces of the upper and lower panels are positioned to face one another and the one or more protrusion from each of the upper and lower panels passes into an opening in the opposite panel as well as openings in the hook plate to secure the hook plate in position therebetween the panels.

A window assembly for mitigating fluid ingress between adjacent frame members is disclosed. The assembly has a first frame member of a first frame, and a second frame member of a second frame. The first frame member includes a seal-receiving channel first counterpart, and the second frame member includes a seal-receiving channel second counterpart. The first and second frame members are co-operatively configured such that, while the first counterpart of the seal-receiving channel is disposed opposite to the second counterpart of the seal-receiving channel, the seal-receiving channel is defined. The sealing interface is defined while the seal is disposed in the seal-receiving channel, and while the first and second frame members are disposed in a sealing interface-defining proximity. While the sealing interface is defined between the first and second frame members, the sealing interface resists fluid communication or fluid ingress between the first and second frame members.
