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.

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.

A fenestration assembly includes a low-profile screen assembly including a fenestration frame and a sash movably coupled with the fenestration frame. The sash includes a daylight opening having a daylight opening profile. The low-profile screen assembly is coupled with one or more of the fenestration frame or the sash. The low-profile screen assembly includes a screen panel having a screen frame coupled along one or more of the sash or the fenestration frame, and the screen frame includes a screen frame inner perimeter. A screen membrane spans the screen frame and is coupled with the screen frame. The screen frame inner perimeter is outside of the daylight opening profile.

A window system includes a frame, a glazing assembly held within the frame and including a glass stop attachable to the frame, wherein attaching the glass stop to the frame defines an air pocket between the glass stop and the frame, and a thermal dampening device positioned within the air pocket and defining one or more discrete cavities.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods that include a fenestration unit. In certain instances, the fenestration units, and methods of re-glazing the fenestration units, described herein may be re-glazed from an interior space.

A window frame system for fixing at least a first panel, includes at least a first window frame structure which includes at least a first window frame profile having at least first and second holders, and at least a first thermally insulating element with sixth and seventh holders. The second holder and the sixth and/or the seventh holder of the first thermally insulating element include at least one internal corner with a radius smaller than 0.5 mm. In this way, the dimensions of the window frame profile may be smaller than in the known window frame profiles. This may be advantageous for the total insulation value of the window frame system and the quantity of material required/used for the window frame profiles. Also disclosed is a thermally insulating element, a method, a window frame structure, a flexible profile, a control system and a sun protection system.

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.

A frame for a façade, a façade element, a window or a door is formed from a number of profiled elements, at which an insulating glazing unit having at least two glass panes held at a distance from one another is retained. An intermediate space under negative pressure is formed between the glass panes. The insulating glazing unit is clampingly retained at the edge thereof between an inner sealing profiled element and an outer sealing profiled element and pressure strips are provided on the exterior of the insulating glazing unit, which pressure strips are fastened to the profiled elements of the frame. A thermal-conductor arrangement is provided on and/or in the inner sealing profiled elements at least in some areas. Due to the thermal-conductor arrangement, heat can be fed to the edge of the insulating glazing unit lying against the inner sealing profiled element in the event of cold outside temperatures.

A bead for releasably securing a glazing unit to a frame member, comprising a body having a first end and a second end, and a resiliently deformable member secured to the body and having a first finger extending from the body to a first end, and a second finger extending from the first finger to a second end. The first end of the body and the first end of the first finger are configured to engage with respective first and second ends of a frame member so as to secure the bead to the frame member. The second end of the body is configured to releasably secure a gasket in a first position so as to secure a glazing unit against an opposed end of the frame member. In use, application of an external force to the gasket moves the gasket to a second position and deflects the second finger from a first position to a second position, and the first finger is configured to separate from the second end of the frame member upon deflection of the second finger to the second position, so as to release the bead from the frame member.
