A unified building opening extension system is pre-built offsite. In one embodiment, the extension system is a single sheet of metal cut, bent, and fixed in a predetermined size. The extension system provides an airtight, watertight assembly that is compatible with waterproofing and air barrier systems integrated with the assembly when the opening assembly (e.g. door or window), exterior insulation, and veneer are installed on the building wall. Water intrusion or leaks are resisted even under positive and negative air pressure events (i.e., winds and storms). A sill plate supports an opening assembly in a rough opening of the building and prevents water ingress into the rough opening.

A sliding door system having one or more sliding doors, door frames (e.g., static frames of different sizes for different wall thicknesses or adjustable frames that can be used to fit different wall thicknesses), sliding door hardware (e.g., tracks, wheels, soft closers, stops, or the like), header, door receiver, a plurality of seals, or the like. The sliding door system utilizes improvements to the components in order to provide security features, such as electromagnetic (EMC—EMI/RFI) shielding, sound resistance, blast resistance, forced entry and/or ballistic resistance, privacy features, light reduction, fire and/or smoke resistance, or the like to the sliding door system. In particular, the sliding door system allows for the use of the security features with the static or adjustable door frames described herein.

A kit for maintaining the compression of a glazing leg gasket extending around the entire perimeter of a receptor frame. Once the glazing unit is installed within the receptor frame, the kit includes at least one sill anchor block disposed atop the sill of the receptor for engagement with the glazing frame and at least one head retention clip operable to apply a force to the glazing frame and against the receptor frame. The at least one head retention clip is adjustable to vary the compressive force applied to the glazing leg gasket.

The present invention is directed towards a window sill flashing comprising a base having a substantially rectangular shape. A front flange projects perpendicularly downward from a front edge of the base and at least one side flange extends vertically from a side edge of the base. The side flange includes a front surface. The window sill flashing is made from a rigid homopolymer vinyl film.

A drip cover for a fenestration unit. The fenestration unit includes a frame and a slideable panel supported for sliding movement within the frame. A gap is defined between the slideable panel and the frame. The drip cover includes a mounting member configured to attach to the slideable panel. The drip cover also includes an overhang that projects from the mounting member and that is configured to cover over the gap when the mounting member is attached to the slideable panel. The overhang is supported for resilient flexure relative to the mounting member between a neutral position and a flexed position. The overhang is resiliently biased toward the neutral position. The overhang, when the mounting member is attached to the slideable panel, is configured to contact a surface, thereby resiliently flexing the overhang between the neutral position and the flexed position, as the slideable panel slides relative to the surface.

An adhesive backed window trim bendable and divisible along a hinge separating the trim into two strips with score lines in each strip. A nub is formed along the side edges of the window trim for use in providing a finished edge concealing the adhesive when the undivided trim or the trim strips are used during installation of a replacement window or the like. The trim is co-extruded from a rigid PVC and plasticized PVC with shallow furrows on the rear face forming the score lines.

A fire-stopping material for use in sandwich panels is provided, wherein the fire-stopping material comprises a resilient, porous material at least partially impregnated with an intumescent agent. A panel for an internal wall and an internal wall are also provided, comprising the fire-stopping material disposed between two substantially parallel boards, such as plaster boards. A method of providing a service penetration through an internal wall is also provided.
