    摘要: A profile for a fenestration system includes first and second members, and a thermal break extending between the first and second members. The thermal break is coupled to the first member at a thermal break interconnection that includes a tab extending laterally from a body, the tab including a head extending from the body and a stem extending from the head. A channel is defined between upper and lower flanges of the first member and provides a first chamber sized to receive the head, and a second chamber extending from the first chamber and sized to receive the stem. The head is larger than the stem, and the first chamber is larger than the second chamber. The thermal break is temporarily secured to the channel by advancing the tab into the channel, and permanently secured to the channel by crimping the flanges against the tab.

    摘要: A door system includes a doorframe having opposing vertical jambs, a door pivotably coupled to the doorframe, a threshold extending between the opposing vertical jambs and providing an upper surface that defines a valley, and a dam removably mountable to the threshold at the valley. A valley seal interposes the dam and the threshold at the valley when the dam is mounted to the threshold and thereby generates a sealed interface between the dam and the threshold.

    摘要: A system includes a structural member providing front and back faces, and first and second webs extending between the front and back faces and laterally offset from each other to define a hollow space therebetween. A wire transfer channel is defined at an end of the first web adjacent the front face and extends into the hollow space. A shear block provides a base, a connector portion extending from the base in a first direction, and first and second legs extending from the base in a second direction opposite the first direction, wherein the first and second legs are attachable to the first web to couple the shear block to the structural member.

    摘要: A façade system includes a mullion having exterior and interior portions and defining a glazing pocket between the exterior and interior portions, a thermal break arranged within the glazing pocket and extending between the exterior and interior portions, the thermal break dividing the glazing pocket into a shallow pocket and a deep pocket larger than the shallow pocket, and a collapsible element arranged within the deep pocket and extending between the thermal break and a lateral side of a panel introduced into the deep pocket. The collapsible element is movable between a collapsed state and an expanded state. The collapsible element divides the deep pocket into two or more thermal chambers when in the expanded state to reduce heat transfer by convection through the glazing pocket.

    摘要: A door assembly includes a door having opposing first and second surfaces and a hole defined in the door and extending between the first and second surfaces, a cylinder lock mounted to the second surface at the hole, and a cylinder dry lock assembly mounted to the door at the hole adjacent the first surface. The cylinder dry lock assembly including a main body that defines a central orifice, a low-friction member received within the central orifice, and an actuation mechanism extending from the low-friction member and engageable with the cylinder lock. Actuating the cylinder lock rotates the actuation mechanism, and the cylinder dry lock assembly generates a sealed interface at the hole that prevents water from migrating between the first and second surfaces at the hole.
