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.

Disclosed is a structural element for securing glass screens, which is formed by: a metal support profile in which is located a seating zone of the glass, the end of the profile including a vertical rib preceded by a rectangular groove and a second V groove; a closing metal profile including an L-shaped protrusion that can be coupled to the vertical rib, the end of the projection being inserted into the rectangular groove and a V rib that sits in the V groove; and an elastic profile in T whose having a vertical section formed by two or more parallel walls through which pass two or more inclined planes that protrude through the sides.

An encapsulation assembly and a forming method thereof, and a vehicle window are provided. The method includes: forming a trim which includes a decoration section and a connection section with a penetration structure formed therein; and forming a gasket which includes a fixing section covering the connection section of the trim, wherein a part of the fixing section is filled into the penetration structure of the connection section. The encapsulation assembly includes: a trim which includes a decoration section and a connection section with a penetration structure formed therein; and a gasket which includes a fixing section covering the connection section of the trim, wherein a part of the fixing section is filled into the penetration structure of the connection section. The vehicle window includes a piece of glass and the above encapsulation assembly. A part of the fixing section of the gasket can be filled into the penetration structure. When the fixing section of the gasket covers the connection section of the trim, the fixing section can be fixed with the connection section of the trim through the penetration structure, such that a more stable connection between the fixing section and the trim can be achieved, which may increase the service life of the encapsulation assembly.

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 profile made of plastic material to fasten a pane to a frame, comprising a first fastening section that can be placed against the pane and a second fastening section that can be anchored to the frame and at least one clamping section projecting away from the fastening sections, the clamping section having a catch to clamp a covering strip, wherein the catch sticks out on one or both sides of the clamping section and wherein one part of the catch is made of a more elastic plastic material than the clamping section with the remaining part of the catch.

Trim retainer systems and methods of using the same are described herein. In one or more embodiments, the trim retainer systems provide for gap free installation of trim members on a fenestration unit frame.

A T-support profile for glazing may be mounted on an extrusion profile of a door and/or window frame. The extrusion profile may have groove oriented towards the weather side of the door and/or window frame. The profile may include an abutment leg to be facing the glazing, which, in the assembled state of the T-support profile on the extrusion profile, extends parallel to the planar extension of the glazing and a wedging leg extending transversely (e.g., perpendicular) to the abutment leg and transversely (e.g., perpendicular) to the planar extension of the glazing for engaging in the groove of the extrusion profile. The area moment of inertia about the wedging leg extension direction may be least 0.25 cm.sup.4 and/or the area moment of inertia about the abutment leg extension direction may be least 0.02 cm.sup.4.

The disclosure includes multi-layered panels (10, 60, 204) including exterior layers of glass (12, 44) and interior layers of urethane (20, 36) and at least one layer of polycarbonate (16) between the urethane layers (20, 36) that result in enhanced shatter resistance within panels (10, 60, 204) that weigh between about 4.1 and 4.6 pounds per square foot. The panels (10, 60, 204) include an insertion tab (23, 61, 23) of the polycarbonate layer (16) that enhances performance of the panel (10). Reinforced passageways (70, 200, 300), such as doors and windows of schools, hospitals and other public and private buildings, are disclosed using the multi-layered panels (10, 60, 204) with the insertion tab (23, 61, 23).

A vertical door system includes: a door having a door frame, the door frame having at least one frame section; an operator; two vertical supports configured to: (a) be installable on opposite sides of the door opening and (b) support the vertical door, at least one of the vertical supports having: a guide track on a surface of the vertical support facing toward the door opening; and a drive system having: an elongated threaded rod drivable by the operator via a gearing arranged between the operator and the threaded rod; and one or more blocks, each block comprising a guide track connecting portion that connects to a guide track so the connected block is freely movable along the guide track, each block having a through-bore for accepting the threaded rod so that the block is positioned on the threaded rod and is movable along the threaded rod.
