Abrégé

The present teachings disclose a frame assembly. The frame assembly includes (i) a first frame segment having two ends and a first channel cavity defined therein, and the first channel cavity extending from one end to another end of the first frame segment; (ii) a key including two arms, one of which is engaging and/or mating with the first channel cavity at one of two ends of the first frame segment to form at least part of a frame; and wherein each of the arms includes an inner edge and an outer edge, and the inner edge faces towards an interior region of the frame and is opposite to the outer edge, and the outer edge faces towards an exterior of the frame, and when the frame extends along a horizontal plane that substantially intersects and/or aligns with either one of the inner edge or the outer edge, either the outer edge or the inner edge that does not intersect the horizontal plane is raised or lowered a certain distance relative to the horizontal plane.

A fenestration assembly is disclosed. The fenestration assembly includes: (1) a frame including frame features and/or components that are capable of engaging and/or mating; (2) one or more segments including segment features and/or components engaging and/or mating with the features and/or the components of the frame to form an engaged and/or mated frame and segment arrangement; and (3) a substrate disposed inside the engaged and/or mated frame and segment arrangement, which has defined therein an off-center serpentine substrate path that is positioned a certain distance away from an approximate midpoint between a non-mating edge of the frame and a non-mating edge of the segment.

Abrégé

Energy-efficient fenestration assemblies that effectively secure substrates, such as window films, are described. The fenestration assembly includes: (1) a base frame capable of having secured thereon a substrate; and (2) a tensioner capable of engaging with the base frame such that when the base frame has secured thereon the substrate, the tensioner places the substrate under tension relative to the base frame.

Abrégé

A fenestration assembly is described. The fenestration assembly includes: (1) a layer of film; (2) a frame having a first surface and a second surface, which is opposite to the first surface, the first surface substantially surrounding and having secured thereon the film and the frame having a thickness such that when the second side is fitted onto a window or a window frame, the thickness of the frame defines a space between the film and the window; and (3) wherein said film is a low-emittance film having an emissivity equal to or less than 0.35.
