A composite trim molding assembly includes a composite outer shell having at least one pressed or molded surface feature and a core disposed within the composite outer shell for at least one of strengthening or stiffening the outer shell. The composite trim molding assembly can be configured as a door jamb. For example, the composite outer shell can include a flat jamb, and the at least one pressed or molded surface feature can include a stop. The core can include a protrusion into a cavity formed by the stop. The cavity formed by the stop may also be hollow. The composite outer shell can be molded from a slurry and/or pressed from a flat composite panel. The at least one pressed or molded surface feature can include a surface texture (e.g., a wood grain pattern). The core can include segments fastened together, particle board, and/or fiberboard.

A door assembly and a frame member for a door assembly. The door assembly may include at least one door panel and a door frame having a plurality of frame members including a header and a pair of side jambs. The invention may also be considered a frame member including a storage compartment. The frame member may include a core; and a top piece adjoining the core to form a structural member. The core and the top piece may be a composite of cellulosic material and at least one other material. The top piece may be a two-piece top piece and may include hollow cavities. Also disclosed are door jamb frame members and mullion frame members.

A method of manufacturing a door stile includes bonding a composite edge band to a first side of a core and profiling the composite edge band. The edge band includes a hollow that is defined through the composite edge band to flex when compressed into the first side of the core. Profiling the composite edge band includes removing portions of the composite edge band that define the hollows.

A window device with a cementitious board as a frame material the device being a single or double window apparatus with an exterior configured with a cementitious board or structure and configured with such frames that are easily formed and readily adaptable to substantially any size or shape opening. The cementitious board window allows for a low maintenance, paintable or pre-painted panels that are moisture and rot resistant, are not susceptible to pest, and provide a surface which is durable over time, is non-combustible, and has materials with little environmental impact. The device is used with new or replacement windows for a commercial or residential structure.

A fenestration assembly includes a glazing unit includes a pane spacer between exterior and interior panes proximate glazing unit edges. A fenestration frame is coupled around the glazing unit and includes a frame core extending around the glazing unit. The frame core includes a unitary core wall including a composite material that is hollow and extends continuously from a core interior face to a core exterior face. A metal glazing cap is coupled with the frame core. The metal glazing cap having a cap end indirectly engaged with the glazing unit along the interior pane, and the cap end is remote from the pane spacer. Each of the core exterior face, the pane spacer and the metal glazing cap are thermally isolated from each other with the frame core including the unitary core wall.

An adjustable header having a first header piece and a second header piece, which are attachable to each other by a connector.
