A door frame for a sliding door system may include three (3) portions having an upper portion disposed adjacent an upper end of a door opening and two side portions disposed along either edge of the door opening. A first frame segment and the second frame segment are adjustable with respect to each other in order to extend around different thickness of different door openings. The first frame segment and/or the second frame segment may have one or more caps, retainers, headers or the like coupled to the frame segments. The caps, retainers, or headers may have portions that are trimmed in order to allow them to mate with portions of the first frame segment or the second frame segment. The adjustment of the segments may be made before or after being installed.

An aseismic assembly and a modular building are provided in the present disclosure. The aseismic assembly is provided between a main frame and a displaceable frame spaced apart from the main frame. The aseismic assembly includes a fixed member and a movable member. The fixed member is disposed on a lower surface of the top portion of the main frame. The movable member is used to interconnect the fixed member and the displaceable frame, wherein the bottom portion of the movable member is inserted into the top portion of a post of the displaceable frame. The movable member is movable relative to the displaceable frame along a height direction of the main frame. The top portion of the movable member is connected to the fixed member. The movable member is movable relative to the fixed member along a horizontal direction.

A window device comprising: a window, window frame, a window holder element, to which the window is attached along a periphery of the window, a window-motion dampening element, and a coupling device via which the window holder element is in engagement with the window frame. The coupling device comprises a projection and a guide recess and is arranged at the inner periphery of the window frame and, from a normal operation position of window, it allows motion of the window holder element in a first direction in which the window holder element is arranged to compress and deform the dampening element, but prevents the window holder element from moving in an opposite second direction.

A method of installing a window and composite window bracket comprises a first member and a second member, and an at least one accessory member to couple the composite window bracket to at least one accessory bracket. The first member includes a first surface extending from a first end of the first member to a second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end first member to the second end first member, the first surface of the first member to be coupled to a support beam. The second member supports a window disposed on the first surface of the second member.

A fenestration opening is provided with opposing receptors on opposite sides of the fenestration opening. Each of the receptors is configured to capture and opposing end of a glazed panel with a capture feature or features on each receptor that hold the respective end of the glazed panel from moving laterally, in or out of the fenestration opening. The glazed panel is installed by angling the glazed panel with respect to the fenestration opening and inserting one end of the glazed panel into engagement with one of the receptors, then moving the opposite end of the glazed panel so that the panel is aligned between the receptors, and then moving the panel so that the opposite end of the receptor is captured by the opposite receptor.

The primary object of the MicroJamb Window & Door Jamb System is to provide an improved, yet, less costly jamb that, along with a system of interchangeable parts, simplifies the production and installation of windows and doors (so as to substantially reduce the time, materials and costs involved in both) and which, by design, makes windows and doors much more weather-tight. It accomplishes this by: reducing the width of the standard 4½-inch jamb by 1 inch (which immediately reduces material costs 22%) so as to fit between the drywall and sheathing of exterior walls; replacing wood molding with simulated molding of extruded plastic (reducing molding costs by over 50%); and by eliminating interior trim, when desired, altogether (reducing cost of interior trim 100%).

A blast-protected window, including a sash including a glass plate surrounded by a first frame, and being carried by a second frame being fixed to an opening of a structure, and a third frame, being fixed to the structure opening, and including a first peripheral surface shaped for closely covering the room side of the second frame, and being configured to block, thereby blast directed from the external environment onto the glass plate knocks onto the first peripheral surface of the third frame disposed close thereto and being configured to block the blast.

Thermally broken fenestration systems are provided that improve performance characteristics or combinations thereof, including strength and thermal conductivity. Embodiments disclosed include one or more fenestration frame assemblies, each having an interior frame member and an exterior frame member. The interior frame members and exterior frame members are coupled together via a plurality of bridges distributed along the length of the respective fenestration frame assembly. The bridges provide structural rigidity, while providing a plurality of air gaps between interior frame member and the exterior frame member to provide a thermal break.

A window unit and replacement window cladding method and system which is provided as a single unit to be installed as a complete new window that fits over the head jamb, side jamb and sill of an existing window frame and the old window frame that is cladded with head jamb, side jamb, and sill cover assemblies defining an opening in which one or more sash units is pivotally secured forming a replacement window unit, without any loss of glass size and egress, and without disturbing the building interior, and further including a clip arrangement for securing the head and side jamb assembly to the front surface of the old window frame.

A gasket assembly for attaching a window to a panel opening includes an inner frame, an outer frame, and an elastic material connecting the inner frame to the outer frame. The elastic material extends contiguously and circumferentially to couple the outer frame to the inner frame. The outer frame and inner frame can include gap flanges and the elastic material can include opposing lateral side portions. The gap flanges are embedded in the lateral side portions of the elastic material. The outer frame includes connecting structure for coupling of the outer frame to the panel opening. The inner frame includes connecting structure for coupling of the gasket assembly to the window. The gasket assembly is configured to support the window in the panel opening and form a seal between the panel opening and the window. A method of making a gasket assembly is also disclosed.
