Coastal weather window and door system with interior mounting assembly
Disclosed is a storm protection system and method with an interior mounting assembly. In one aspect, the disclosure comprises a first jamb, a second jamb, a header, and a sill, each with a glazing recess, and each with a receptacle for inserting a screw boss that runs a length of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill, wherein joined define a frame for the opening in a building. A storm protection system may further comprise glazing received by the glazing recess of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill. A storm protection system may further comprise a storm track configured to the frame to, wherein the storm track identifies fastener locations for the screw boss within the frame, and wherein the storm track comprises a cap, a stanchion, and an attachment layer for attachment to the frame. The system further comprises an interior mounting bracket that allows for the addition of window treatments through the existing frame hardware and storm protection.
1 . A storm protection system with interior options for an opening in a building, comprising:
(a) a first jamb, a second jamb, a header, and a sill, each with a glazing recess, and each with a receptacle for inserting a screw boss that runs a length of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill, wherein joined define a frame for the opening in a building;
(b) glazing received by the glazing recess of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill;
(c) a storm track configured to an exterior side of the frame to receive a storm panel, wherein the storm track identifies fastener locations for the screw boss within the frame, and wherein the storm track comprises a cap, a stanchion, and an attachment layer for attachment to the frame; and wherein the cap is removable to expose the stanchion and replaceable to conceal the fastener locations; and
(d) an interior mounting bracket, wherein the interior mounting bracket is configured to be held to an interior side of the frame through a fastener that enters at least one screw boss and one wall of the frame, wherein the interior mounting bracket is structured to receive a window treatment, wherein the window treatment engages the interior mounting bracket independent from the fastener.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interior mounting bracket is configured to attach a storm resistant panel on the interior side of the frame.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interior mounting bracket is secured by two or more fasteners.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interior mounting bracket is comprised of a polymeric material.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the screw boss is co-extruded with the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill.
6 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising fasteners for securing the frame to the opening in the building, wherein the fasteners pierce a nail fin of the frame.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the stanchion has a groove to indicate fastener placement to enable fastening to the screw boss that runs the length of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill.
8 . A method for installing a storm protection system in an opening of a building, comprising:
installing a first jamb, a second jamb, a header, and a sill, each with a glazing recess, and each with a receptacle for inserting a screw boss that runs a length of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill, wherein joined define a frame for the opening in a building;
securing glazing into the glazing recess of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill;
installing a storm track configured to an exterior side of the frame to receive a storm panel, wherein the storm track comprises a cap, a stanchion, and an attachment layer for attachment to the frame and wherein the cap is removable to expose the stanchion and replaceable to conceal fastener locations;
fastening an interior mounting bracket to an interior side of the frame, wherein fastening applies a fastener to the interior mounting bracket and through the screw boss and wall of the frame; and
applying a window treatment to the interior mounting bracket, wherein the window treatment engages the interior mounting bracket independent from the fastener.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein fastening the interior mounting bracket pierces at least one wall and one screw boss of the frame.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein fastening the interior mounting bracket pierces at least two independent screw bosses on the frame.
11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein applying the window treatment applies a window blind to the interior mounting bracket.
12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein fastening the interior mounting bracket pierces at least two walls of the frame.
13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein fastening the interior mounting bracket fastens a left interior mounting bracket and a right interior mounting bracket.
14 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising applying fasteners for securing the frame to the opening in the building, wherein the fasteners pierce a nail fin of the frame.
15 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the stanchion has a groove to indicate fastener placement to enable fastening to the screw boss that runs the length of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill.
16 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the interior mounting bracket is fastened by two or more fasteners through defined holes on the interior mounting bracket.
17 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the interior mounting bracket defines a channel to receive the window treatment, wherein the window treatment is secured with the interior mounting bracket within the channel.
18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein interior mounting bracket defines a groove within the channel to engage the window treatment.
19 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the interior mounting bracket defines a channel to receive the window treatment, wherein the window treatment is secured with the interior mounting bracket within the channel.
20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein interior mounting bracket defines a groove within the channel to engage the window treatment.
21 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the storm panel comprises a flexible screen or plywood.
