A window jamb extender includes a frame including: (i) a first leg including opposite inner and outer ends; and, (ii) a second leg connected to the outer end of the first leg and arranged transversely relative to the first leg. The first leg includes an outer face adapted to be abutted with an associated wall stud that partially defines a periphery of an opening in an associated wall structure. The first leg includes an inner face that is opposite the outer face and that is adapted to lie adjacent an outer peripheral wall of an associated window frame. The second leg includes an inner face adapted to lie adjacent an exterior face of the associated window frame. The window jamb extender further includes a primary flange that projects outwardly from the outer face of said first leg.

A trim kit for a structural opening in a structure is provided. The trim kit may include a top cover configured to be affixed to the structure above the structural opening, a side cover configured to be respectively affixed to a side of the structure laterally adjacent to the structural opening, and a top clip track including a mounting portion configured to be affixed to a front surface of the structure above the opening in the structure, and a retaining portion extending outwardly from the mounting portion and configured to receive a topside lip of the top cover.

A header assembly and method for installing built-in retractable screens. A header assembly is installed after the structure's framing is completed but before the wall finishes are applied. The header assembly includes opposing end boxes and a header board. The side tracks from the screen unit are installed so that the upper ends open into the bottom of the end boxes. This defines a cavity customized to the selected screen unit. With the header assembly and side tracks in place, the wall surfaces can be applied around them. After the wall surfaces are completed, the screen unit is placed inside the header assembly through an access opening, which is then covered with a cover panel. Thus, the present invention eliminates the need to apply wall finishes around an undefined space, which requires multiple measurements and often results in expensive mistakes in the finished cavity dimensions.

Features and methods for use in connection with the installation of fenestration units. Embodiments include an installation bracket and method of use, pre-installed flashing tape, and a shim that can be broken to a desired length during shimming procedures.

A window frame assembly for attachment to a window opening in a support structure, the assembly includes a first frame and a second frame that engage each other from opposite sides of the window opening, wherein the first frame includes a window and at least one abutment member adapted to be fixed to the support structure. The second frame includes at least one abutment member, such as a jamb, a head or a sill. The first frame includes a recess between the at least one abutment member and the window such that, upon engagement of the first frame and the second frame from opposite sides of the window opening, the at least one abutment member of the second frame is received by the recess of the first frame.

Provided herein are door frames. In particular, door frames are provided that protect against impact, are water-proof, and protect against bacteria/mold infiltration.
