Exemplary implementations of a thermally-efficient slidable fenestration assembly are glass window systems or glass door systems having one or more sliding glass panels. The fenestration assemblies are adapted to be mounted in an architectural structure such as a building or house. Accessory channels in the fenestration framework may be provided to facilitate nail-fin, retro-fit or screen adaptors as means to attach the assembly to the surrounding architecture. Stiles, tracks and rails of the assembly are specifically configured to reduce heat transfer across the fenestration assembly, while simultaneously maintaining the structural integrity and durability of the overall assembly. Certain stile, track and rail components may comprise materials of relatively low conductivities. Preferred stile configurations include interlock elements arranged to reduce the assembly's vulnerability to tampering from a position outside of the fenestration.

The insulation system includes opening wall, substrate wall, thermal closure, insulation and exterior trim. A window structure can be coupled to cover opening, while other structures are contemplated. Depending on the configuration, tape strips and/or seals such as caulk seals may be employed as needed to seal the structure.

Provided is a window system including a first window that extends in a first direction, and that partially overlaps a second window in the first direction. The second window extends in the first direction, and is offset from the first window in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The window system includes a connector that is configured to connect the first window and the second window, and that is disposed in an area between the first window and the second window in the second direction and where the first window partially overlaps the second window in the first direction.

A fenestration assembly includes a glazing unit includes a pane spacer between exterior and interior panes proximate glazing unit edges. A fenestration frame is coupled around the glazing unit and includes a frame core extending around the glazing unit. The frame core includes a unitary core wall including a composite material that is hollow and extends continuously from a core interior face to a core exterior face. A metal glazing cap is coupled with the frame core. The metal glazing cap having a cap end indirectly engaged with the glazing unit along the interior pane, and the cap end is remote from the pane spacer. Each of the core exterior face, the pane spacer and the metal glazing cap are thermally isolated from each other with the frame core including the unitary core wall.

A sliding window to close off an open surface in a wall separating the inside from the outside. The window includes an opening panel, a frame and a passive acoustic silencer. The silencer includes two parallel and acoustically absorbent slides extending in a median plane normal to the open surface. One slide is attached to the opening panel and the other slide is attached to the frame. The movement of the opening panel relative to the frame creating, between the slides, a slit having a thickness equal to the window opening. Also, a system of windows to acoustically damp between the inside and outside of an open space in a wall.

A panel fastening device that is configured to move together a first frame of a first panel unit having a first glass panel mounted within the first frame and a second frame of a second panel unit having a second glass panel mounted within the second frame. The device includes a suction cup is configured to be coupled to and released from the first glass panel of the first panel unit, and a structure is configured to be pressed against and released from the second frame of the second panel unit.

The present invention relates to a door guide frame of a detachable segment structure for sliding windows and doors, in which in order to improve heat insulating performance of the door guide frame, the door guide frame is divided into an outer body portion and an inner body portion and a thermal break is disposed therebetween, and even when a second pocket guide segment accommodated in the inner side surface of the inner body portion and a third pocket guide segment accommodated in the inner side surface of the outer body portion are separated from an upper cap region of an aluminum material and have a lower leg region formed of a thermal break material, a supporting means capable of providing a good supporting force for the lower leg region formed of such thermal break material is provided without affecting the heat insulating performance of the door guide frame.

Perimeter frame for sliding glass doors of the type including extruded metal profiles that are combined together circumferentially surrounding the glass sheet having two lateral profiles (1) arranged vertically and that fit on the sides of the glass sheet (4), a set of lower profiles (2) arranged horizontally on each side of the glass sheet (4) at its lower part and a set of upper profiles (3) arranged vertically in the upper area of the sheet glass (4), between which there is provided an opening (5) through which protrudes the upper portion of the glass (6), in which the clamps (7) that hold the sheet are applied.

A semi-invisible combination of thermal insulating profiles of the lower part of sliding doors and windows which allows the unhindered passage of people and objects above the semi-invisible combination. The interior and exterior floor has co-planarity and uniformity while the invention permits unhindered passage of people and objects, is accessible by people with walking disabilities, has narrow width grooves, has a classy profile design, has high levels of waterproofing for the non-visible parts as well as high waterproofing against normal weather conditions.

The present invention relates to a heat insulation and support structure between a moving window (sliding window) and a fixed window constituting a sliding window system, or between a moving window and another moving window. More particularly, the present invention relates to a window chassis insulating structure and a glass panel supporting (mounting) structure including technical improvements in a center bar portion in which a window chassis of a movable window and a fixed window (or other movable window) overlap each other when a sliding window of a two-side supporting frame window having a two-sided supporting frame for supporting only both sides of a glass window constituting a sliding window system, is closed.
