The application describes a frame assembly comprising: a first inner frame section adapted to be fitted to a first peripheral portion of a first surface of sheet material, the first peripheral portion is adjacent a peripheral edge; a second, separate inner frame section adapted to be fitted to a second peripheral portion of a second surface of sheet material, the second peripheral portion is adjacent a peripheral edge, and the second surface is opposite the first surface; and an outer frame section for receiving the sheet material with the inner frame sections fitted thereto, the outer frame section comprising first and second projections. The first frame section defines a space adapted to receive the first projection of the outer frame section, the space of the first inner frame section cooperates with the received first projection to restrict movement of the first inner frame section relative to the outer frame section.

A press-fit window insert configured to provide secondary protection to an existing window, having a carrier, a fin, and a fastening clip. The carrier includes a substantially rigid framework having channels within the framework configured to securely accept one or more attachments. The fin extends from the carrier and includes a substantially flexible blade extending from a base portion of the fin. The base portion of the fin is configured to interlock the fin to the carrier. The fastening clip includes a substantially rigid brim extending from a base portion of the fastening clip. The base portion of the fastening clip is configured to interlock the fastening clip to the carrier.

Retention clip assemblies, retention systems, and methods of using the same. The retention clip assemblies, retention systems and methods described herein may be used to retain glass lites and, potentially, other panels, in frame openings provided in fenestration unit frames.

An insulated fenestration system includes a frame comprising a first bracket, the first bracket defining a sealing slot; a pane assembly assembled with the frame, the pane assembly comprising a first pane; a bracket gap defined between the first bracket and the first pane; and a first seal engaging the sealing slot, the first seal extending across the bracket gap and abutting the first pane.

A window system includes a frame, a glazing assembly held within the frame and including a glass stop attachable to the frame, wherein attaching the glass stop to the frame defines an air pocket between the glass stop and the frame, and a thermal dampening device positioned within the air pocket and defining one or more discrete cavities.

A structural offset adaptor formed as a unitary body for installing glass in a door frame includes snap-in connecting portions extending along each side of the structural offset adaptor, configured to retain the structural offset adaptor on an inner perimetral surface of the frame. The adaptor is configured with an inner wall and an unenclosed space adjacent the inner wall which allows the glass pane to be installed offset from the center of the door frame and flush to the push surface of the door frame. A glass-paned door with the adaptor installed on the inner perimetral surface includes the glass pane installed in the unenclosed space and flush to the push surface of the door frame. A method of installing a glass pane in a door frame includes mounting the glass flush with a push side of the door frame via the adaptor.

A laminated glass retention system for securing a laminated glass subassembly within a window sash or frame member or door panel or similar component includes a retention member applied to the laminated glass subassembly. The retention member generally can include a leg portion that engages of the laminated glass subassembly, and can further include a base portion that is coupled to the frame member in which the laminated glass subassembly is seated. The retention member helps retain the insulating glass subassembly within its frame member when subjected to high winds and wind-borne debris.

Embodiments herein relate to systems and methods for securing panel members to frame members and fenestration systems including the same. In a first aspect, a fenestration system can be included having a panel assembly, a sill assembly, and one or more sill panel clips. The one or more sill panel clips can be disposed on a surface of the sill assembly such as an upper surface. The one or more sill panel clips can secure the panel assembly to the sill assembly. The fenestration system can also include a plurality of jamb members. The plurality of jamb members can include a first side jamb, a second side jamb, and a head jamb. The fenestration system can also include a plurality of jamb panel clips, wherein the plurality of jamb panel clips secure the panel assembly to the plurality of jamb members. Other embodiments are also included herein.

A frame assembly, for use in window and door applications configured to retain a panel, comprising a frame with a cover assembly and a support assembly having a track assembly, and a sill assembly and a header assembly both interconnected to a securing surface. The cover assembly is interconnected to the support assembly. The sill assembly comprises a roller member disposed in supporting relation to the track assembly, and the header assembly is disposed in supporting relation to the support assembly so that the frame is movable relative to both the header assembly and the sill assembly. At least a portion of the frame comprises a predetermined thickness and a predetermined width. The predetermined thickness is substantially less than the predetermined width so that both cooperatively and concurrently enhance viewing through the panel and the frame's stability.

Examples of the present disclosure provide an overhead door panel. The overhead door panel includes a pair of parallel glass panes, a metal frame with parallel lateral stiles oriented perpendicular to the pair of parallel glass panes, a first seal system located at a first lateral stile, and a second seal system located at a second lateral stile, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of parallel glass panes and a lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles of the metal frame such that the first seal system and the second seal system are between the at least one glass pane and the lateral stile.
