Abstract: A mull binder system includes a mull binder that couples a first and second window frame and provides a seal along the grooves. The first window frame has an exterior side, an opposing interior side and at least a first side and a second side extending perpendicular to the exterior side and interior side, the first side including a groove therein. A second window frame has an exterior side, an opposing interior side and a first side and a second side extending perpendicular to the exterior side and interior side, the second side including a groove therein. The mull binder has a first and second arm coupled thereto. Each arm has a plurality of flexible barbs extending therefrom. The barbs on the first arm and second arm are received within the groove of the first window frame and second window frame respectively.

Abstract: A sliding door includes slidable panel. A first weather stripping member is secured to a portion of the slidable panel. A header and a sill each include a track having a length defining a longitudinal axis. At least one of the tracks includes a first ramp and a second ramp spaced from the first ramp along the longitudinal axis. The slidable panel moves along the longitudinal axis from an open position to a closed position. The slidable panel is moved from a lowered position to a raised position on both the first ramp and second ramp as the slidable panel is moved to the closed position. The weather stripping member is engaged against one of either the header or sill when the slidable panel is in the raised and closed position. The weather stripping is disengaged from the header or sill when the slidable panel is the lowered and open position.

Abstract: Another exemplary embodiment relates to a sash assembly. The sash assembly includes an outer sash having at least one groove, an inner sash having at least one groove, and a removable binder extending along a perimeter of a surface of the outer sash and inner sash. The binder is configured to engage the outer sash and the inner sash and to mechanically couple the outer sash and the inner sash together. The binder includes a plurality of protrusions. Each protrusion is configured to mate with one of the groove in the inner sash and the groove in the outer sash. Each protrusion includes a plurality of flexible barbs that are compressed when the protrusion mates with one of the grooves. The flexible barbs provide a force on interior edges of the groove to couple the inner sash and outer sash together. The binder is configured for removal for service of the sash assembly.
