A nail fin is adapted to be used with a fenestration frame assembly adapted to be fastened in a building support structure. The nail fin includes a substantially bendable metallic flange member having an anchor portion adapted to be retained in the frame assembly and pivotally connected to an attachment portion adapted to be fastened to the support structure along a hinge defined by a series of spaced apart openings formed through the flange member. The metallic flange member is formed with a coextruded first strip covering the openings and defining barbed elements around the anchor portion. The metallic flange member is formed with a second coextruded strip defining a solid attachment template adapted to be fastened to the support structure and forming a seal adapted to be engaged against the support structure.

Nail fin for window frame assembly

A frame assembly for creating a flush corner appearance is disclosed. The frame assembly includes first and a second members. The first member has a plurality of sides that extend between a first and second end such that one side defines an opening extending thereinto from the first end. The opening defines a pair of lateral flanges for engaging the second member. The second member includes a plurality of sides that extend between a first and second end. The second member also includes a first connector extending from a first side and a second connector extending from a second side. A first tab extends from the first connector and is moveable between a straight position and a bent position such that the first tab guides the first member into engagement with the second member when the first tab is in the bent position. A second tab extends from the second connector and is flush with the first end of the first member when the members are connected.
