An improved door rail system for holding a panel, such as a glass panel, is presented. The door rail system includes a core rail and clamping rails having a wedging geometry so that when the clamping rails are actuated with respect to the core rail, clamping force is applied to the glass panel to secure the panel within the core rail. The improved door rail system accommodates panels of varying thickness, features the use of modular side covers and incorporates a door to door jamb adjustment device allowing for angular adjustments.

Window lite assemblies and methods for installing the assemblies are provided herein. The assemblies described herein are configured to be installed in new and existing buildings, especially in building corners, while leaving some or all of the horizontal structural members such as headers and sills in place.

A modular paneled partition includes a first pane panel defining a first panel bottom edge, a first panel upper edge, and a first panel thickness; a second pane panel defining a second panel bottom edge, a second panel upper edge, and a second panel thickness; a wall bottom edge structure including a fixed profile and a movable profile supporting the first and second pane panels and engaged with the fixed profile along an adjustment direction, and means for adjusting position of the movable profile, the movable profile defining a first and a second outer longitudinal sides, and a third side between the first and second outer longitudinal sides. The movable profile has a first bottom channel accommodating the first panel bottom edge, and a second bottom channel accommodating the second panel bottom edge.

A projecting fenestration assembly includes a window shell having a plurality of component translucent panels. The window shell includes a shell frame having shell edges and a shell base. The plurality of component translucent panels are seated within the shell frame and surround a light cavity. A carriage frame is coupled with the window shell and supports the window shell. The carriage frame includes one or more carriage struts and a carriage tray extending from the one or more carriage struts to a tray end. The one or more carriage struts are coupled along the shell edges of the window shell. The carriage tray is coupled along the shell base.

There is a frame insulator that covers a window or door frame. A door or window has one or more panels that are supported by frame members. The frame members have interior surfaces and exterior surfaces. The one or more panels are mounted on the frame members. The interior surfaces or the exterior surfaces or both are enclosed by sheets of cross-linked polyethylene foam extending adjacent to the one or more panels and forming frame insulators.

Retention clip assemblies, retention systems, and methods of using the same. The retention clip assemblies, retention systems and methods described herein may be used to retain glass lites and, potentially, other panels, in frame openings provided in fenestration unit frames.

A retention system may comprise a bracket, a bar system, a seal and a bonded washer. The bracket may have a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the second portion may be operatively coupled together at an angle θ. The bracket may also have a texture. The bracket may define a mounting surface. The bar system may comprise a bar installable in the bracket. The seal may be installable in the bracket and disposed beneath the mounting surface. The bonded washer may be installable on and compressible against the mounting surface.

Disclosed are a composite aluminum alloy profile and a preparation method therefor. The composite aluminum alloy profile includes an outer decorative profile, a polyurethane elastomer structural adhesive, and an inner frame profile. The inner frame profile is an integral component of alkali-free glass fibers and polyurethane resin formed by one-time extrusion, and a cross section thereof is “”-shaped; and the outer decorative profile is connected to the inner frame profile through the polyurethane elastomer structural adhesive. The preparation method includes: preparing glass fibers and polyurethane materials of components A and B into a glass fiber resin reinforced profile by a compound strip-threading and injection machine, adhering the inner frame profile to the outer decorative profile through the polyurethane elastomer structural adhesive, and rolling the same. The profile has the features of heat and sound insulation and is easy to produce.
