Self-draining panel threshold assemblies including a reservoir chamber are discussed. The threshold assemblies comprise an interior sill portion, an exterior sill portion, and a drop-down chamber therebetween. The interior sill portion may include a condensation channel, which in one example, includes a roller track centrally positioned therein. The exterior sill portion includes a drain chamber and the reservoir chamber, where the reservoir chamber is positioned below and optionally to the exterior of the drain chamber. The drop-down chamber is partially defined by an elongate exposed weather-strip and an elongate covered weather-strip. In varying examples, a reservoir chamber height is equal to or greater than a water head height at a preselected wind load pressure. In certain examples, an effective threshold assembly height is less than or equal to ¾-inch, such as less than or equal to 1/2-inch. Methods and apparatuses related to the threshold assemblies are also discussed.

Self-sealing structural installation strip assemblies for a framed unit are discussed. The installation strip assembly comprises a main body having an inner portion and an outer portion. In some examples, a leg of the inner portion, in conjunction with portions of a unit groove seal, are received and retained in a groove of a unit frame member. The unit groove seal provides a seal between the installation strip assembly and the framed unit. At the building site, the installation strip may be folded from a substantially flush position with respect to a frame member to an outwardly extending position so that the strip may be secured using one or more fasteners to a building structure extending around a rough unit opening. The upper portion of the main body may include at least one of a fastener seal, a flashing seal, or a wall seal.

A window assembly includes a window frame and an exterior window treatment system mounted to the window frame. The exterior window treatment system has a treatment storage housing configured to receive an exterior window treatment movable between a stored position within the treatment storage housing and a deployed position extending from the treatment storage housing. The window system also includes at least one guide for guiding the window treatment between the stored position and the deployed position. The window assembly includes at least one interface frame coupled with each of the treatment storage housing and the at least one guide for engaging the window treatment system to the window frame.

Low-profile, self-draining panel threshold assemblies are discussed. The threshold assemblies comprise an interior sill portion, an exterior sill portion, and a drop-down chamber therebetween. The interior sill portion may include a condensation channel, which in one example, includes a roller track centrally positioned therein. The exterior sill portion includes a drain chamber and a reservoir chamber, where the reservoir chamber is positioned below and optionally to the exterior of the drain chamber. The drop-down chamber is partially defined by an elongate exposed weather-strip and an elongate covered weather-strip. In varying examples, a reservoir chamber height is equal to or greater than a water head height at a preselected wind load pressure. In certain examples, an effective threshold assembly height is less than or equal to ¾-inch, such as less than or equal to ½-inch. Methods and apparatuses related to the threshold assemblies are also discussed.

A window assembly including a frame having an interior portion with an inner surface. A sash is movably coupled with the frame, and the inner surface is substantially parallel with the sash in a closed position. A window drive mechanism is coupled between the frame and the sash, and the mechanism is entirely contained between the inner surface and the sash. The mechanism includes at least one arm rotatably coupled between the frame and the sash.

A door sill in a frame mounting a fixed door panel and a sliding door panel movable along a longitudinally-extending track wherein the sliding door panel is disposed inwardly of the fixed door panel for movement thereof. The door sill comprising a sill floor external to the portion of an opening defined by the frame which is unobstructed by the fixed door panel. The door sill further comprising a platform elevated above the sill floor intermediate the sliding door panel track and the fixed door panel and abutting the sliding door panel track to define a drainage channel. The door sill further comprises a weatherstrip, having a pair of legs, extending along an outer surface of the track along which the sliding door panel moves whereby the first leg being generally parallel to and engaged against the track along which the sliding door is movable and a second generally planar leg being hinged to a top edge of the first leg and the second leg is biased upwardly and away from the first leg and into engagement with a bottom edge of the sliding door panel.
