Abstract: A verification tool for guiding the installation of vinyl siding to a wall of a structure. The verification tool includes a face plate with a front face, a rear face, a plurality of edges and a wall extending outwardly from each edge of the face plate. The verification tool also includes an opening in the face plate proximate a top edge of the face plate and a securement through hole in each of two oppositely disposed vertically oriented walls. The verification tool includes two downwardly extending legs and a gauge for confirming the nail shank diameter used for securing the vinyl siding nail hem to the wall. The verification tool also includes a pair of legs each with a foot portion with each foot comprising a different height for use in establishing a minimum gap between a vinyl siding surface and an accessory.

Abstract: A verification tool for guiding the appropriate installation of vinyl siding to a wall of a structure is disclosed. A verification tool may include a face plate with a front face, a rear face, a plurality of edges, and a wall extending outwardly from each edge of the face plate and oppositely disposed flanges extending outwardly from at least two of the walls, a through hole in the face plate proximate a top edge of the face plate and a securement through hole in each of two oppositely disposed vertically oriented walls, two downwardly extending legs and a through hole gauge, and a through hole in each downwardly extending leg and each leg includes a foot portion with each foot comprising a different height for use in establishing a minimum gap between a vinyl siding surface and an accessory.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to modular sill systems for sliding panel doors and windows, collectively “sliding fenestration units.” In various examples, modular sill systems include multiple separate and distinct base components that provide tracks on which one or more panels are able to slide.

Abstract: A window includes a weather seal system that employs two seals. The first seal is located towards an exterior surface of the window and forms an air-permeable water barrier between an active sash and a sill. The second seal is located towards an interior surface of the window and forms a substantially air-impermeable and water-impermeable barrier between the active sash and the sill.

Abstract: A window assembly having a window frame and at least one primary sash mounted in the window frame. The primary sash has a plurality of sash members forming a primary sash perimeter and a first glazing panel mounted in the primary sash perimeter. At least one secondary sash is pivotally attached directly to the primary sash perimeter along an interior surface thereof so that the secondary sash is rotatably movable between a closed position and an open position relative to the primary sash. The secondary sash has a plurality of secondary sash members forming a secondary sash structure and a second glazing panel mounted in the secondary sash perimeter. An air chamber is located between the primary sash and the secondary sash that is substantially closed to the interior of the building structure. At least one accessory channel is locating along at least one side of the secondary sash members.
