A door frame system comprises a wall and a door frame. The door frame comprises a sub-buck portion and a shell portion, coupled to the sub-buck portion. The sub-buck portion comprises a sub-buck mounting arm including at least one mounting aperture, a sub-buck rabbet arm coupled to one end of the sub-buck mounting arm and a sub-buck support arm coupled to the sub-buck mounting arm opposite the sub-buck rabbet arm. The sub-buck portion is surface mounted to a single surface of the wall through the at least one mounting aperture.

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 assembly for installing in a window framing (also referred to as a “window casing”) of a wall of a building. The window assembly is configured to have a frameless appearance when installed with the finish surround installed around the interior and/or exterior of the window. The window assembly also allows the glass panel to be removed with a minimum of removal of the finish surround, such as without removing any of the finish surround, or only removing the finish surround around several sides of the only one of the interior or exterior of the window. For example, in most cases, only the interior finish surround around the right side and left side of the installed window frame needs to be removed to remove and replace the glass panel. Furthermore, the window assembly includes an integrated drain for draining moisture which leaks into the window assembly.

A windowsill assembly includes a beam member and an insert bracket. The beam member includes a first leg and a second leg, the first leg meeting the second leg at a joining region at proximal ends of the first leg and the second leg. The insert bracket includes a first portion and a second portion that are substantially perpendicular to each other to substantially match an angle between the first leg and the second leg of the beam member. The insert bracket couples the beam member to a support member.

A method of installing a window and composite window bracket comprises a first member and a second member, and an at least one accessory member to couple the composite window bracket to at least one accessory bracket. The first member includes a first surface extending from a first end of the first member to a second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end first member to the second end first member, the first surface of the first member to be coupled to a support beam. The second member supports a window disposed on the first surface of the second member.

A composite fenestration assembly having one or more sub-assemblies including at least one glazing border constructed of a first material and a rigid overlay providing a structural framework for the glazing border while maintaining narrow sight lines and providing an architecturally pleasing exterior appearance.
