Abstract: A sliding door or window system includes a track. The track includes an outer housing; an inner housing within the outer housing; a guide body provided with the inner housing and configured to guide a sliding movement of a door or a window; and at least one adjustable body that is provided on the outer housing, at least partially within the inner housing, and fixed with respect to the inner housing in a vertical direction, the at least one adjustable body configured to change a height of the inner housing with respect to the outer housing by rotating, such as to change a height of the guide body.

Abstract: Provided is a window system including a first window that extends in a first direction, and that partially overlaps a second window in the first direction. The second window extends in the first direction, and is offset from the first window in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The window system includes a connector that is configured to connect the first window and the second window, and that is disposed in an area between the first window and the second window in the second direction and where the first window partially overlaps the second window in the first direction.

Abstract: A centering device for centering a sliding door or window, including a rail; a moving member configured to be movable along the rail; and a plurality of centering rollers fixed to one of the rail and the moving member and spaced along a length thereof corresponding to a direction of movement of the door or window along the rail, the centering rollers abutting against an other of the rail and the moving member to laterally center the moving member with respect to the rail. The centering device can be implemented in a sill, header and jamb.

Abstract: An adjustable header having a first header piece and a second header piece, which are attachable to each other by a connector.

Abstract: There is included an intermediate element including one or more, but not necessarily limited to, an L-shaped profiled portion configured to receive a part of a panel of a door or window, a pad configured to be fit into at least one frame part and comprising a support strip groove, and an intermediate element extended from the L-shaped portion to the pad.
