Abstract
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.
