A corner key for a fenestration trim assembly includes a sloped bearing surface configured to bias a first lineal toward a second lineal about the longitudinal axis of the second lineal.

A building component includes a frame including a first material and cladding connected to the frame. The building component also includes a thermal break defined by the frame intermediate a first side and a second side of the building component and an insulating material within the thermal break. The building component further includes an insulated glass unit including a first glass pane and a second glass pane spaced from the first glass pane. The first glass pane and the second glass pane define a pocket therebetween. The thermal break and the pocket define a continuous thermal break when the building component is in a closed position.

Window lite assemblies and methods for installing the assemblies are provided herein. The assemblies described herein are configured to be installed in new and existing buildings, especially in building corners, while leaving some or all of the horizontal structural members such as headers and sills in place.

A corner key includes a heel and at least one leg extending along an axis from the heel. The at least one leg includes a retention element and a lifting cam such that upon insertion into a frame member the lifting cam induces a bending stress in the retention element.

A door or wall element includes a frame having four elongated profiles. Two side panels are provided at opposed sides of the frame and are attached to the frame. At least two of the profiles positioned at opposed sides of the frame are provided with a groove situated at the sides of the concerned profiles defining the outer circumferential surface of the frame. Each of the side panels are provided at opposed edges with an upstanding rim fitting into the concerned groove of the frame. The profiles are hollow profiles. The door or wall element includes at least one connection piece provided between two adjacent profiles of the frame, and the connection piece includes a guide surface allowing angular movements between the adjacent profiles during an assembly phase of the door or wall element.

A building component includes a first glass pane connected to a second glass pane to form an insulated glass unit. The first glass pane and the second glass pane define a pocket therebetween. The insulated glass unit is positioned in a frame. The building component includes an insulating material in the middle portion of the frame. The insulating material defines a continuous frame thermal break extending through the frame. The frame thermal break is aligned with the pocket. The frame thermal break has a width of at least 1 inch. The pocket has a width that is less than the width of the frame thermal break.

A door or wall element includes a frame having four hollow profiles; two side panels at opposed sides of the frame and attached to the frame; at least two of the profiles, positioned at opposed sides of the frame, include a groove at the sides of the profiles defining the outer circumferential surface; and each of the side panels at opposed edges has an upstanding rim fitting into the slot of the frame. The element includes a connection piece between two adjacent profiles of the frame wherein the profiles are mitred and the connection piece includes a body having a cross section matching the inner space of a first profile and inserted therein. The body has a mitred end surface from which at least one toothed part protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the body and fits in the inner space of an adjacent second profile.
