A method is provided for reducing dynamic forces on doors and windows and barriers and their supports. At least one impact receiver 10 is provided to receive the dynamic forces from its source. At least one impact reducer 20 is provided to transfer the dynamic forces from the impact receiver 10 to the supports while undergoing elastic deformation. Elastic deformation of the impact reducer 20 elongates the duration of the dynamic force, and reduces the dynamic forces on the doors and windows and barriers and their supports.

An adjustable mounting assembly includes a wall channel; an adjustment channel fitting within the wall channel; and a connection means arranged to adjustably connect the adjustment channel to the wall channel. The connection means includes a fixing block, with a first aperture therethrough, arranged to fit within the wall channel and between the wall and adjustment channels, the first aperture arranged to receive a wall fixing member arranged to pass through the base of the wall channel so as to secure the fixing block to the wall channel; and an adjustable fixing member arranged to secure the adjustment channel to the fixing block, a head of the adjustable fixing member being within the adjustment channel in use; wherein movement of the adjustable fixing member is arranged to allow movement of the adjustment channel, and the adjustment channel is arranged to receive a profile strip to cover the adjustable fixing member.

A vibration control wall structure, which is introducible into a wall part of a building, includes a wall frame, a vibration control wall body, and a vibration control damper for absorbing a vibration acting on a building. The vibration control wall body includes a plurality of face materials which are fixed to a frame material via a fastening member and are connected to each other in a width direction. A gap part is formed such that both side end portions of the vibration control wall body are separated from the wall frame so as to absorb displacement in an in-plane direction. The vibration acting on the building is damped by the vibration control damper having a long hole in a longitudinal width direction of the vibration control wall body. The vibration control wall body can relatively slide in the long hole in the longitudinal width direction.

A window device comprising: a window, window frame, a window holder element, to which the window is attached along a periphery of the window, a window-motion dampening element, and a coupling device via which the window holder element is in engagement with the window frame. The coupling device comprises a projection and a guide recess and is arranged at the inner periphery of the window frame and, from a normal operation position of window, it allows motion of the window holder element in a first direction in which the window holder element is arranged to compress and deform the dampening element, but prevents the window holder element from moving in an opposite second direction.

Embodiments described herein may be directed to the functional application and method of use of the compression gasket for sealing a window installed in a window frame. In accordance with the present disclosure, a compression gasket may comprise soft rubber portion that applies pressure against a window surface. The soft rubber portion may compress, causing a rigid plastic portion that to bow outwardly and engage inner surfaces of the window frame. The bowing out of the rigid plastic portion, which may include a leaf spring, may secure the compression gasket to the window frame. The compression gasket may be designed to stop water leakage that may occur between the window and the window frame.

A fenestration installation adjustment system includes one or more jack sockets configured to couple with a fenestration frame of a fenestration assembly. The one or more jack sockets include a contoured socket profile. One or more adjustment jacks are received in one of the one or more jack sockets. Each of the adjustment jacks includes a contoured jack profile complementary to the contoured socket profile. The adjustment jack and the contoured jack profile are movable relative to the respective jack socket along the contoured socket profile. The adjustment jacks each include an engagement foot configured for surface to surface engagement with a rough opening boundary surface. Movement of the adjustment jack relative to the jack socket is configured to move the fenestration frame according to the relative movement.
