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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. 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.

2. The fenestration unit of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive side of the third sealing member is adhesively coupled to the glazing stop.

3. The fenestration unit of claim 1 , wherein the non-adhesive side of the third sealing member is non-adhesively coupled to the frame.

4. The fenestration unit of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive side comprises a single-sided adhesive tape.

5. The fenestration unit of claim 1 , wherein the non-adhesive side of the third sealing member comprises a foam material.

6. The fenestration unit of claim 5 , wherein the foam material is air-permeable and/or moisture blocking.

7. The fenestration unit of claim 1 , further comprising a fastener configured to couple the glazing stop to the frame.

8. The fenestration unit of claim 7 , wherein the third sealing member is adjacent to the fastener.

9. 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.

10. The fenestration unit of claim 9 , wherein the third sealing member comprises at least one of a dry sealant bead, a weather-strip blub, or an adhesive tape.

11. The fenestration unit of claim 9 , wherein the third sealing member comprises a foam material.

12. The fenestration unit of claim 11 , wherein the foam material is air-permeable and/or moisture blocking.

13. 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.

14. The fenestration unit of claim 13 , wherein the fastener is removable from the glazing stop and the frame.

15. The fenestration unit of claim 13 , wherein the fastener extends through the first coupling element of the glazing stop.

16. The fenestration unit of claim 13 , wherein the fastener is perpendicular to the first coupling element of the glazing stop.

17. The fenestration unit of claim 13 , wherein the fastener is adjacent to the third sealing member.

18. The fenestration unit of claim 13 , wherein the fastener is at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the first coupling element of the glazing stop.

19. The fenestration unit of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive side comprises a dry sealant bead.

20. The fenestration unit of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive side comprises a weather-strip blub.
