FRAME FOR A FAÇADE, A FAÇADE ELEMENT, A WINDOW OR DOOR
A frame for a façade, a façade element, a window or a door is formed from a number of profiled elements, at which an insulating glazing unit having at least two glass panes held at a distance from one another is retained. An intermediate space under negative pressure is formed between the glass panes. The insulating glazing unit is clampingly retained at the edge thereof between an inner sealing profiled element and an outer sealing profiled element and pressure strips are provided on the exterior of the insulating glazing unit, which pressure strips are fastened to the profiled elements of the frame. A thermal-conductor arrangement is provided on and/or in the inner sealing profiled elements at least in some areas. Due to the thermal-conductor arrangement, heat can be fed to the edge of the insulating glazing unit lying against the inner sealing profiled element in the event of cold outside temperatures.
ADJUSTABLE DOOR FRAME FOR HVAC AIR HANDLER
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for an adjustable door frame for an HVAC air handler. An example adjustable door frame for access to an HVAC air handler includes a hinge-side frame configured to couple to a hinge of a door for access to the HVAC air handler, a hingeless-side frame opposite the hinge-side frame, and one or more extensions configured to be positioned between the hinge-side frame and the hingeless-side frame to adjustably expand a depth of the door frame.
Traffic door construction and method of making same
A frame for a traffic door having a leading edge, trailing edge, top edge, and bottom edge. The frame includes a trailing edge frame member having first and second ends and configured to extend along the trailing edge of the traffic door. The trailing edge frame member is a monolithic body having a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion extends between the first and second ends in a continuous and linear manner. The trailing edge frame member further includes a first cutout from the second portion of the trailing edge frame member adjacent the first end and a second cutout from the second portion of the trailing edge frame member adjacent the second end to define a central tab. A traffic door having such a frame is disclosed. A method of forming a traffic door with such a frame is also disclosed.
WET GLAZING SHIELD GASKET FOR FENESTRATION UNIT
A wet glazing shield gasket includes a support portion and a sweep that extends from the support portion and that terminates at a barrier lip. The sweep is supported for resilient flexure between a neutral position and a flexed position relative to the support portion. Furthermore, the barrier lip is configured to engage a glazing unit for collapsing the sweep onto the support portion as the sweep flexes away from the neutral position and toward the flexed position. The sweep is configured to extend between the frame and the glazing unit and to be a barrier for the seal member as the sweep flexes away from the neutral position and toward the flexed position. The sweep and the support portion are configured to layer over each other and cooperatively occupy a gap between the glazing unit and the frame when in the flexed position.
Inner frame for door or window, skylight comprising the same and manufacturing method thereof
An inner frame of a door or a window is disclosed. The inner frame is disposed at an inner side of a window sash, and is connected between a jamb of the door or the window sash and a door frame or a window frame. The inner frame includes a fixing portion for fixing to the jamb, a water baffle, and a connecting portion for connecting with the door frame or the window frame. One side of the fixing portion is fixed to the jamb, the water baffle is integrally disposed on the other side of the fixing portion opposite to the one side, and the connecting portion is integrally disposed on a side of the water baffle facing away from the fixing portion and is connected to the door frame or the window frame.
Weatherstripping Backing with Self-Adjusting Angled Guideposts
A weatherstripping backing device is disclosed. The device includes an elongated backing strip comprising a first side and a second side. A pair of guide posts are located on the first side of the elongated flexible backing strip. The pair of guide posts are configured to receive at least a portion of a weatherstripping material therebetween. The pair of guide posts each include a first guide post portion extending between a first end coupled to the first side of the elongated backing strip and a second end. The first guide post portions of the pair of guide posts are separated from one another by a distance. A second guide post portion extends at an angle from the first guide post portion such that the distance between the pair of guide posts is decreased along a length of each of the of the second guide post portions
Screen edge retention and screen rethreading features for a hidden screen assembly and a fenestration assembly
A fenestration assembly includes a sash, a frame surrounding the sash, and at least one screen assembly mounted in at least one of: the top portion and the bottom portion. The frame includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and two jambs forming first slots extending lengthwise along at least a portion of the jamb. The first slots each include a screen edge retention feature. The screen assembly includes a roller assembly substantially hidden from view, a screen material attached to the roller assembly, and a plurality of raised features. Edges of the screen material extend into the first slots. The raised features are attached to each of the edges of the screen material. The raised features are configured to engage the screen edge retention features and retain each of the edges of the screen material at least partially within the first slot of each of the two jambs.
Folding door structure
A folding door structure is provided. The folding door structure includes an upright column, upper sliding bracket and a lower sliding bracket. The upright column is hinged to the door leaves. The folding door structure further includes a first lock component. The first lock component includes a first latch mounted inside the upright column, and both ends of which are extended out from the top and bottom of the upright column to insert into the upper slide and/or the lower slide. By providing a first lock component and an upright column, a first latch can lock the position of the upright column relative to a door frame in a direction of wind pressure. Accordingly, the stress environment of the upper sliding bracket and the lower sliding bracket is improved, and the reliability and the resistance to high wind pressure of the connection mounting structure between adjacent door leaves are improved.
Method of using and distributing a weather seal assembly for an overhead door
A knock-down seal assembly for an overhead-sectional door having horizontal joints between adjacent panels and a leading lateral edge that seals the lateral leading edge of the door as the door closes against the floor or traffic area. The seal assembly includes a pair of retainer rails which do not exceed about 6 feet in overall length. Each of the retainer rails has seal channels formed so as to extend from a bottom surface thereof for receiving a flexible weather seal strip. Each of the rails also has an extension channel formed so as to extend from the bottom surface thereof for receiving an elongate retainer clip. The retainer clip can be used to join the pair of retainer rails to form a single rail.
SLIDING DOOR FOR USE IN A MODULAR WALL SYSTEM
Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for a modular wall system. The modular wall system may include a panel frame; a sliding door including a first vertical side, a second vertical side, an upper surface, and a lower surface; sliding door hardware coupled to the upper surface of the sliding door configured to translate the sliding door within the panel frame; and a sliding track seal arranged with the header including a substantially linear portion extending from the header and a curved portion configured to maintain contact with the sliding door in a closed configuration, an open configuration, and in transitioning between the open configuration and the closed configuration.
