A fenestration assembly includes a fenestration frame having a frame core. The frame core includes a core exterior face and a a core interior face. A core wall of the frame core includes filament reinforced polymer, and the core wall extends between the core exterior face and the core interior face. One or more core cavities are within the frame core and surrounded by the core wall. At least one insulation scaffold is seated within the one or more cavities. The insulation scaffold includes one or more scaffold walls and scaffold cavities bordered by the one or more scaffold walls. Engagement feet are coupled with the remainder of the insulation scaffold, and the engagement feet are engaged against the core wall.

A vacuum insulated door for an appliance includes an outer wrapper that defines an evacuation port. An inner liner is coupled to the outer wrapper defining an insulating cavity therebetween. A base is coupled to the outer wrapper adjacent to the evacuation port. A servicing tube has a connecting end and a servicing end. The servicing tube is in fluid communication with the insulating cavity via the evacuation port. The connecting end is coupled to the base. A handle has first and second ends coupled to the outer wrapper and a center portion therebetween spaced-apart from the outer wrapper. The first end is coupled to the outer wrapper proximate the evacuation port. The servicing tube extends along an inner surface of the handle.

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.

A heat-insulating window panel includes: a light-transmissive member having light transmissivity; and a panel member including an outdoor substrate that supports the light-transmissive member from an outdoor side via a first elastic body, an indoor substrate that supports the light-transmissive member from an indoor side via a second elastic body without being in contact with the outdoor substrate, and a heat-insulating material disposed between the outdoor substrate and the indoor substrate, and even when a force is applied to one of the outdoor substrate and the indoor substrate in a direction away from the other to move the one in a separating direction, the outdoor substrate and the indoor substrate have a hooking margin for hooking the one on the other.

An extrusion profile of, for example, a polymer material, such as PVC, for a door system and/or window system, may include at least one hollow chamber extending in the extrusion direction, which is delimited by profile walls; and an insulation core of foam arranged in the at least one hollow chamber. The foam may have a compression strength of at least 0.3 N/mm.sup.2.

There is provided a sash apparatus for securing in a window or a door, and a methods making same. The sash apparatus comprises a frame with multiple segments securable to the window or door, where each of the segments has an internal passage therein. The multiple segments are arranged and coupled together at non-straight angles to form the frame, with the internal passages within the segments in fluid communication with one another. The sash apparatus also includes a bonding fill at least partially filling the internal passages within the frame to hold the multiple segments together.
