Composite fenestration assembly

A composite fenestration assembly constructed of at least two different materials for securing within a rough opening separating an interior of a structure from an exterior, the assembly comprising:

• a glazing border constructed of a non-ferrous material and defining at least one glazing opening, the glazing border including a decorative surface facing into the interior of the structure when positioned within the rough opening, a glazing support surface facing toward the glazing opening, and an outwardly facing exposed surface when positioned within the rough opening;
• an inner overlay constructed of a rigid ferrous material including a first leg section projecting in a first direction and a second leg section projecting from the first leg section in a different direction, the sections together defining an interior facing surface complementary to at least a portion of the combined glazing support surface and the outwardly facing exposed surface, the leg sections being slipped onto the glazing border without flexing to cover at least a portion of the glazing support surface and at least a portion of the outwardly facing exposed surface of the glazing border in an abutting relationship and define a second opening aligned with the glazing opening to form a combined glazing border and inner overlay assembly;
• at least one outer border constructed of a non-ferrous material and defining at least one outer border opening constructed to receive the combined glazing border and inner overlay assembly, the outer border including a decorative surface facing into the interior of the structure when positioned within the rough opening, an inner assembly surface facing toward the outer border opening, and an outwardly facing exposed surface when positioned within the rough opening;
• and
• a rigid outer overlay constructed of a ferrous material including a solid first leg section projecting in a first direction and a solid second leg section projecting from the first leg section in a different direction, the leg sections together defining an interior facing surface complementary to at least a portion of the combined inner assembly surface and the outwardly facing exposed surface, the leg sections being slipped onto the outer border without flexing to cover at least a portion of the inner assembly surface and at least a portion of the outwardly facing exposed surface of the outer border in an abutting relationship to define a combined outer border and outer overlay assembly with an inner assembly opening aligned with the glazing opening of the glazing border with the combined outer border and outer overlay frame assembly being constructed to be secured to the building structure within the rough opening with the combined glazing border and overlay assembly secured to the combined outer border and outer overlay assembly.

A composite fenestration assembly constructed of at least two different materials for securing within a rough opening separating an interior of a structure from an exterior, the assembly comprising:

• a first border constructed of a non-ferrous material and having at least one glazing opening, the first border including one or more glazing support surfaces facing toward the glazing opening and an outwardly facing exposed surface when positioned within the rough opening;
• at least one glazing secured within the glazing opening;
• and
• a first overlay constructed of a rigid ferrous material with the first overlay including a first leg section projecting in a first direction and a second leg section projecting from the first leg section in a different direction, the leg sections together defining a first profile with an interior facing surface constructed to slip onto and be affixed to the first border without flexing in an abutting relationship to match at least a portion of the combined glazing support opening facing surface and the outwardly facing exposed surface and define a first sub-assembly with at least one first leg section of the inner overlay extending between the outermost extent of the glazing and the most proximate glazing support surface while not interfering with a set of original sight lines through the glazing.
