Abstract
Window and door opening assemblies are disclosed herein that incorporate one or more high-density insulation cores and methods for constructing thereof. The high-density insulation cores are comprised of microcellular polyurethane foam.
Claims20
An opening assembly for a building opening, comprising:
- a frame having one or more insulating members, each of the one or more insulating members includes a high-density insulating core, each high-density insulating core having longitudinal sides and being at least partially encased by one or more wood components on at least two opposing longitudinal sides of the high-density insulating core;
- wherein the high-density insulating core of each of the one or more insulating members is made of microcellular polyurethane;
- and
- wherein the high-density insulating core has a uniform density of microcellular polyurethane foam that does not deviate by greater than ten percent throughout the high-density insulating core.

An opening assembly for a building opening, comprising:
- one or more glass panes;
- and
- a frame having one or more insulating members, each of the one or more insulating members includes a high-density insulating core, the high-density insulating core of each of the one or more insulating members having longitudinal sides and being at least partially encased by one or more wood components on at least two opposing longitudinal sides of the high-density insulating core;
- wherein the high-density insulating core of each of the one or more insulating members is made of microcellular polyurethane foam;
- wherein the high-density insulating core of each of the one or more insulating members extends longitudinally from a first end side of each of the one or more insulating members to a second end side of each of the one or more insulating members opposite from the first end side;
- wherein the one or more insulating members are arranged in a manner such that the high-density insulating core of each of the one or more insulating members, in combination, form a rectangular high-density insulating core frame that is wider than the one or more glass panes;
- wherein the microcellular polyurethane foam has gas bubbles that are less than 50 microns in size;
- and
- wherein the high-density insulating core has a uniform density of microcellular polyurethane foam that does not deviate by greater than ten percent throughout the high-density insulating core.
6 more elements
A method for making an opening assembly, comprising:
- providing a cured high-density polyurethane block, wherein the cured high-density polyurethane block is a microcellular polyurethane foam;
- milling the cured high-density polyurethane block to form a high-density polyurethane core, the high-density polyurethane core having four longitudinal sides and two opposing sides transversely situated relative to the four longitudinal sides;
- and
- affixing at least three of the four longitudinal sides with one or more wood components;
- wherein the microcellular polyurethane foam has gas bubbles that are less than 50 microns in size;
- and
- wherein the high-density insulating core has a uniform density of microcellular polyurethane foam that does not deviate by greater than ten percent throughout the high-density insulating core.
