An insulated fenestration system includes a frame, a pane assembly assembled with the frame, the pane assembly including a first pane, and a muntin bar attached to the first pane. The muntin bar defines an angled end abutting and matching an angle of the sloped front surface. The frame extends around a perimeter of the first pane so as to include a top portion, a bottom portion, a left portion, and a right portion. A vertical muntin bar can extend between and to the top portion and the bottom portion and is spaced apart from the left portion and the right portion. A horizontal muntin bar can extend between and to the left portion and the right portion and is spaced apart from the top portion and the bottom portion. The muntin bar subdivides the first pane into a plurality of simulated lites.

The present disclosure relates to an insulated frame section. The frame section comprises an elongate interior frame member, an elongate exterior frame member and an elongate insulation element connected to the interior frame member and to the exterior frame member. The insulation element prevents any direct physical contact between the interior and exterior frame members. A refrigerator door system having a door and a door frame constructed from such insulated frame sections is also disclosed.

A plastic thermal barrier connects an inner shell and an outer shell of a window frame or a door frame. The thermal barrier includes a first part that is provided with a component for connecting it to an inner shell and an outer shell. The thermal barrier further includes a second part, whereby these parts are connected to one another in a hinged way by means of a film hinge and are provided with mutually complementary elements of a snap connector configured to fasten the two parts together.

Disclosed is a fixed frame or opening frame, resulting from an assembly of joinery profiles, forming the mullions and the cross-members of the frame, with the profiles of the mullions and the cross-member profiles being assembled by their ends. The frame includes at least one device for compressing, including at least one mechanical connection extending interiorly along an intermediary portion of the frame, the at least one mechanical connection connecting by its ends of supports of the device for compressing, the supports being integral respectively with mullions or cross-members, on either side of the intermediate portion of the frame, the mechanical connection being solicited in traction in order to provide the maintaining under constraint of the ends of the joinery profiles of the intermediate portion of the frame against the corresponding ends of the joinery profiles, arranged on either side of the intermediate portion, belonging to the mullions or cross-members.

An insulating body for multi-shell construction elements for spacing apart and thermally separating at least two profiled section elements relative to each other has a base member with a first side and a second side opposite the first side. Fastening projections are arranged on the first and second sides of the base member and secure the insulating body in receptacles of the profiled section elements. At least the first side has two of the fastening projections. The base member has a hollow chamber with an inner guiding contour for receiving and guiding fitting parts. A multi-shell construction element with at least two profiled section elements is provided with at least one such insulating body.

A door/window frame structure for making door/window casing such as doors and/or windows intended to be anchored to a supporting wall, said structure comprising at least one metal end element (2) suited to define the external surface (3) of the door/window frame and a substantially straight insulating element (4) suited to promote thermal insulation between the environments respectively located inside and outside with respect to the door/window frame structure. At least one pair of straight metal profile (13) is provided, which have a first end (16) intended to be directly coupled with the insulating element (4); at least one of the profiles of said pair has a second end (19) suited to be directly anchored to the metal end element (2).

A profile frame system for sliding elements includes a first and second metallic frame profiles, a one-piece insulating support bar made of plastic with a first upper bar plane and a second lower bar plane parallel to the first bar plane. Each bar plane has, on both longitudinal sides, roll-in heads rolled into respective grooves in the first and the second frame profile and thus connect the two frame profiles, wherein in the insulating support bar above the first upper bar plane a snap-in geometry oriented on the longitudinal side is provided, in which a runner is snapped-in. The first upper bar plane is connected to the second lower bar plane with two support struts. These support struts are arranged to diverge from one another at an acute angle , starting from the snap-in geometry in the first upper bar plane and extending towards the second lower bar plane.

A thermally enhanced extrudate includes a channel, a first wall, and a second wall. The channel extends along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end of the thermally enhanced extrudate and is shaped to receive glass or a frame. The second wall is spaced from the first wall. The first wall and the second wall partially enclose a thermal break extending along the longitudinal axis. The thermal break has a first width defined between the first wall and the second wall at an upper end of the thermal break and a second width defined between the first wall and the second wall at a lower end of the thermal break. The thermally enhanced extrudate further includes a solid insulation material in the thermal break between the first and second walls and formed by curing a flowable material.

A profile for a fenestration system includes first and second members, and a thermal break extending between the first and second members. The thermal break is coupled to the first member at a thermal break interconnection that includes a tab extending laterally from a body, the tab including a head extending from the body and a stem extending from the head. A channel is defined between upper and lower flanges of the first member and provides a first chamber sized to receive the head, and a second chamber extending from the first chamber and sized to receive the stem. The head is larger than the stem, and the first chamber is larger than the second chamber. The thermal break is temporarily secured to the channel by advancing the tab into the channel, and permanently secured to the channel by crimping the flanges against the tab.
