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.
Claims20
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 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;
- a first sealing member disposed between the first side of the glazing unit and the engagement face of the frame;
- a second sealing member disposed between the second side of the glazing unit and the first engagement face of the glazing stop;
- and
- a third sealing member disposed between the frame and the glazing stop, wherein the third sealing member includes an adhesive side and a non-adhesive side.

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, wherein the first coupling element includes an opening extending along an 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, and when releasably 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 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;
- a first sealing member disposed between the first side of the glazing unit and the engagement face of the frame;
- a second sealing member disposed between the second side of the glazing unit and the first engagement face of the glazing stop and;
- a third sealing member disposed between the frame and the glazing stop, wherein the third sealing member is adhesively coupled to the glazing stop and non-adhesively coupled to the frame.

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 shielding portion, 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 and wherein the first engagement face of the glazing stop is releasably coupled to the second side of the glazing unit;
- a fastener configured to couple the glazing stop to the frame, the shielding portion substantially shielding the fastener from observation;
- 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
- a third sealing member disposed between the frame and the glazing stop, wherein the third sealing member is adhesively coupled to the glazing stop and non-adhesively coupled to the frame.
