Abstract: A multi-component door frame assembly, including a door jamb having a length and contact surface. A plurality of ribs along the length of the door jamb and extending distally from the contact surface. A door stop detachably fixed to the door jamb and adapted to receive a door when the door is in a closed position.

Abstract: A screw attachment plug includes a proximal portion having a first diameter and a first height, a middle portion having a second, constant diameter, a second height and a means for preventing rotation of the plug relative to the substrate and the portion. The screw attachment also includes a distal portion including a distal end, proximal end, and an outer surface therebetween. The plug includes a bore through the proximal, middle and distal portions adapted to receive a screw and a plurality of slots in the distal section, each defined by an open space between the outer surface and the bore thereby separating the distal portion into a plurality of sections. The open spaces are adapted to expand when a screw is inserted into the bore to thereby expand at least the middle and distal portions within the substrate.

Abstract: A device for providing a seal between a door and at least a part of a doorway includes a door sash having a length, a hinged edge, a front portion, a back portion, and a plurality of curls on the hinged edge. The device also includes a door jamb proximal to the hinged edge, a door stop, a weather strip configured to engage the door sash and adapted to provide a first seal when the door is in the closed position, and a plurality of sealing members extending from the curls and adapted to provide at least a second seal between the door sash and the jamb.

Abstract: A skylight or other like panel comprising a dual glazed framing system is provided. The dual glazed framing system includes opposing glazing panels, a frame with supporting ledges, and translucent insulating particulate material is encapsulated in a insulating cavity defined by the frame and the opposing panes. A movable fill guide is provided and allows for the compression of the translucent insulating particulate material. A method of creating a dual glazed framing system filled with translucent insulating particulate material is also provided.

Abstract: An eaves beam for a glazed roof system includes a base member and an upper member. The base member includes a base plate adapted to rest on a building wall and includes upstanding wall members. The base member can be fastened from the top into the wall with the fastener extended between the two upstanding wall members. In turn, the upper portion of the eaves beam includes downwardly extended legs which are adapted to fit over the base member and are fastened to the base member by screws extended laterally through the legs into the base member. This facilitates installation of the eaves beam and allows the roof to be pre-assembled, taken to the work site and installed.

Abstract: An eaves beam with framing which includes an eaves beam with an upper member and a lower member. The framing is comprised of an upper beam and a lower beam. The eaves beam can be pre-attached to the framing, allowing for a more efficient installation.

Abstract: An external soffit system for a conservatory roof which prevents unwelcome insects or birds from forming nests and provides a more aesthetically appealing appearance of the conservatory. The soffit also provides a platform from which lights or speakers may be mounted. The soffit and supporting structure also provide added protection to the conservatory roof structure from the elements.

Abstract: An internal drainage system for a conservatory roof which allows a conservatory to be used as dry living space. Condensation is channeled internally through the eaves beam and the supporting posts or mullions to an outlet outside of the conservatory. The condensed water is thus contained and prevented from adversely affecting the internal space of the conservatory.

Abstract: A sill for supporting a wall panel such as window panels for a modular solarium comprises a forward or outer sill, an intermediate rail, an inner channel, and an inner flange. The intermediate rail extends laterally inward from the outer sill. The rail includes a ramp and a raised surface. The ramp defines an outermost portion of the rail and extends upwardly from the outer sill to the raised surface. The rail terminates at the channel. The channel extends laterally between the rail and the flange. The bottom of a wall panel fits over the rail and has an inner leg which extends into the channel. Fasteners secure the inner leg on the wall panel to the inner flange.

Abstract: A modular solarium includes (a) a plurality of prefabricated wall panels, each prefabricated wall panel including (i) at least one transparent sheet of material having a peripheral edge, and (ii) a peripheral frame of an L-shaped cross-section supporting the peripheral edge and positioned therearound, the peripheral frame having opposite exposed surfaces with an opening in at least one of the exposed surfaces; (b) a plurality of prefabricated ceiling panels, each prefabricated ceiling panel including (i) at least one transparent sheet of material having a peripheral edge, (ii) a peripheral frame of an L-shaped cross-section supporting the peripheral edge and positioned therearound, the peripheral frame having opposite exposed surfaces with an opening in at least one of the exposed surfaces; and (c) a plurality of joint members for connecting together the prefabricated panels, each joint member including (i) a joint frame member, and (ii) at least two protrusions extending from the joint frame member, each pro
