Abstract
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.
Claims16
A fenestration unit comprising:
- a glazing unit having a peripheral edge region, a first side and a second side;
- a frame defining a head, a sill, a first jamb and a second jamb, the frame having a frame profile defining a first coupling element and an engagement face to which the first side of the glazing unit is releasably coupled;
- a glazing stop including a first coupling element and a first engagement face, wherein the first coupling element includes an opening extending along an axis, wherein the first coupling element of the glazing stop is releasably coupled to the first coupling element of the frame and when releasable coupled to the first coupling element of the frame, a majority of the first coupling element of the glazing stop is parallel with the axis of the opening of the glazing stop, wherein the first engagement face of the glazing stop is releasably coupled to the second side of the glazing unit;
- a cover distinct from and removably coupled to the glazing stop;
- a first sealing member disposed between the first side of the glazing unit and the engagement face of the frame;
- and
- a second sealing member disposed between the second side of the glazing unit and the first engagement face of the glazing stop.

A fenestration unit defining a boundary between an interior space and an exterior space, the fenestration unit comprising:
- a glazing unit having a peripheral edge region, a first side and a second side;
- a frame defining a head, a sill, a first jamb and a second jamb, the frame having a frame profile defining a first coupling element and an engagement face to which the first side of the glazing unit is releasably coupled, wherein the first coupling element of the frame includes an opening extending along a lateral axis;
- a glazing stop including a first coupling element and a first engagement face, wherein the first coupling element of the glazing stop is releasably coupled to the first coupling element of the frame, wherein the first engagement face of the glazing stop is releasably coupled to the second side of the glazing unit and removable from the interior space;
- a cover distinct from and removably coupled to the glazing stop;
- a first sealing member disposed between the first side of the glazing unit and the engagement face of the frame;
- and
- a second sealing member disposed between the second side of the glazing unit and the first engagement face of the glazing stop and removable from the interior space.

A method of re-glazing a fenestration unit defining a boundary between an interior space and an exterior space, the method comprising:
- accessing a glazing unit arranged within a frame by removing a cover coupled to the frame, the glazing unit having a peripheral edge region, a first side and a second side and the frame defining a head, a sill, a first jamb and a second jamb, the frame having a frame profile defining a first coupling element and an engagement face to which the first side of the glazing unit is releasably coupled and a first sealing member disposed between the first side of the glazing unit and the engagement face of the frame, wherein the first coupling element of the frame includes an opening extending along a lateral axis;
- removing a glazing stop from the interior space, the glazing stop including a first coupling element and a first engagement face, wherein the first coupling element of the glazing stop is releasably coupled to the first coupling element of the frame, wherein the first engagement face of the glazing stop is releasably coupled to the second side of the glazing unit;
- and
- removing a second sealing member from the interior space, the second sealing member being disposed between the second side of the glazing unit and the first engagement face of the glazing stop and from the interior space.
