Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to fenestrations, such as windows and doors, exhibiting coastal impact performance. In a first aspect, an impact-resistant fenestration unit can be included having a frame and a bottom sash. The bottom sash can have a bottom rail, a check rail, and opposed stiles and can be configured to pivot inward away from the frame assembly such that the check rail moves away from the frame assembly. A first side bracket can define a cavity to receive a portion of a bolt from a sash tilt bolt assembly. The first side bracket can be mounted on one of the two opposed side jambs at a height corresponding to a position of the check rail when the bottom sash can be in a closed position. The bolt can include a metal inner support member and a polymeric overmold portion. Other embodiments are also included herein.
