Disclosed is a sectional door adapted to withstand high wind load and impact from flying debris. The door includes a glazing bead to secure glazing panels into frames formed by the rails and stiles of the door. The bead is connected with the frame by engagement between extensions on the bead and respective lips along the edges of the frame. The bead is pressed against the frame, causing the extension to elastically flex to allow the extensions to fit between the lips. The extensions are received in gaps formed by the lips to secure the bead in place on the frame. Force on the door cause by high winds is communicated from the glazing panel through the bead and to the frame. The door also includes reinforcements arranged along the rails to communicate forces, such as high wind load forces, from the frame to the edges of the doorway surrounding the door. The reinforcements include endcaps that increase stiffness of the rails to prevent the rails from buckling during severe weather events.

Fastener systems for roofing systems are disclosed for fastening a fabric, mesh, or base sheet to a roof deck prior to application of a liquid applied roof coating. The fastening assemblies may be attached to an uncleaned or unprimed roof deck and a fabric is laid atop the fasteners. The fasteners secure the fabric using mechanical binding or chemical bonding without penetrating or dimpling the fabric.

A door assembly includes a doorframe, an insulated glazing unit (IGU), door skins, and a gas passageway. The IGU includes a substantially sealed IGU cavity and a hole communicating with the IGU cavity. The door skins are secured to opposite sides of the doorframe and have openings between which the IGU is provided. The gas passageway provides gas communication between the IGU cavity and the atmosphere outside of the door assembly. The gas passageway contains a gas passage conduit that includes a first end communicating with the IGU cavity through the hole and a second end communicating with atmosphere outside of the door assembly. The gas passageway may contain a gas passage conduit having a first end communicating with the IGU cavity through the first hole and a second end communicating with an air pocket, and a channel connects the air pocket with atmosphere outside of the door assembly.

Modular components of modular door lite frame systems are disclosed. In some cases, a modular door lite frame system includes matching first and second modular frames, one or more modular male alignment members, and one or more modular female alignment members. In some cases, the modular alignment members can be coupled to modular frames of various sizes. In some cases, the modular components can be formed by casting ABS between no more than two opposed mold portions.

A door is provided that includes a door panel having a periphery and opposite first and second panel surfaces, stiles and rails collectively surrounding the panel, and sealant. The stiles have channeled stile surfaces extending across a thickness of the stiles and facing one another. The rails have channeled rail surfaces extending across a thickness of the rails and facing one another. The channeled stile surfaces and the channeled rail surfaces include channels with open ends that receive the periphery of the panel, first grooves positioned at first interfaces of the first panel surface and first edges of the open ends of the channels, and second grooves positioned at second interfaces of the second panel surface and second edges of the open ends of the channels. The sealant is received in the first and second grooves, preferably forming a water-proof seal.

A stile system to support a door or other types of panels is provided. The doors and/or panels may include frameless glass panes. The stile system may include a longitudinal channel into which the side of the door may be received and secured. The system may include a clamping assembly that may provide clamping forces onto the opposing lateral surfaces of the door within the longitudinal channel to secure it therein. The clamping assembly may be controlled by a controlling assembly in combination with the housing to provide inward forces to the clamping members to secure the panel. The stile system also includes a unitizing gasket configured to hold the elements of the clamping assembly in place during the system's assembly and use.

There provides a split iron frame door structure including top, middle and bottom split frames. A top edge frame and two side edge frames of the top split frame, two side edge frames of the middle split frame, and a bottom edge frame and two side edge frames of the bottom split frame are thin-wall square tubes. A transversely-arranged first flat-iron edge frame is fixed to the bottom of the top split frame. Transversely-arranged second and third flat-iron edge frames are fixed to the top and the bottom of the middle split frame, respectively. A transversely-arranged fourth flat-iron edge frame is fixed to the top of the bottom split frame. The first and second flat-iron edge frames are detachably connected through a first I-shaped section material and first connecting screws. The third and fourth flat-iron edge frames are detachably connected through a second I-shaped section material and second connecting screws. The iron frame door structure adopts a split design, and is low in packaging cost and transportation cost, light in overall weight, concise in appearance and good in light transmittance.

A viewing window for insertion into a viewing opening in a ventilation and air-conditioning system and/or a climate chamber, the viewing window including two pane supports which can be connected to one another by a rotary joint that is prevented by a notched locking mechanism from accidentally coming loose.

Fenestration assemblies and methods for making fenestration assemblies are discussed herein. In one aspect the fenestration assembly can include a base frame assembly, a support frame assembly, a clipping assembly and a window pane. The base frame assembly is connected to a plurality of other base frame assembly members which can form a frame. The base frame assembly members each have a clipping assembly which attaches a piece of exterior cladding to the base frame assembly. The cladding member and the clipping member also assist in securing the window pane. In some examples the exterior cladding protects the base frame assembly. Many different styles of exterior cladding can be fitted to the clipping assembly
