A fenestration assembly includes a glazing unit includes a pane spacer between exterior and interior panes proximate glazing unit edges. A fenestration frame is coupled around the glazing unit and includes a frame core extending around the glazing unit. The frame core includes a unitary core wall including a composite material that is hollow and extends continuously from a core interior face to a core exterior face. A metal glazing cap is coupled with the frame core. The metal glazing cap having a cap end indirectly engaged with the glazing unit along the interior pane, and the cap end is remote from the pane spacer. Each of the core exterior face, the pane spacer and the metal glazing cap are thermally isolated from each other with the frame core including the unitary core wall.

Fenestration assemblies including composite frame cores and methods for same

An installation assembly includes an installation member for use along a rough opening frame. The installation member includes a locking ridge. A fenestration interface is provided for use along a fenestration unit. The fenestration interface includes a fenestration anchor near the first end. The fenestration interface is movable within the rough opening frame from an unlocked configuration to a locked installed configuration. In the unlocked configuration the fenestration anchor slides over the locking ridge as the fenestration unit with the fenestration interface is seated within the rough opening frame. In the locked installed configuration the fenestration anchor slides off the locking ridge and the locking ridge is in an intercepting position relative to the fenestration anchor to fix the fenestration interface and the fenestration unit within the rough opening frame.
