An improved window sash assembly which includes a sash held together by corner locks. The corner locks are all of similar construction, but may accommodate either tilt latch mechanisms or pivot terminal mechanisms. By utilizing a single corner bracket for both types of sash connectors, costs can be reduced and efficiencies increased. Additionally, the improved system imparts structural and sealing characteristics to the sash.

A window frame assembly for having a plurality of blocks secured to a flexible mat to form a subassembly. The subassembly is positioned within a rigid frame cover and the frame cover and subassembly are passed through a roll former to create a window frame of any desired curvature. The blocks are of a composite material and are preferably pultruded to provide the insulation and non-condensation advantages associated with wood core window frame, while eliminating the disadvantages associated with mildew, rot, cracking and flammability.

Adhesive foam seals are provided on all flashing components of a sunroom at joints between glazing panels and other structural members. Should water or wind penetrate these seals, primary and secondary drain systems are provided as a backup to collect and control and vent moisture outside the sunroom. A support frame for the glazing panels includes sloped vertical wooden beams strengthened by top and bottom steel plates. The beams are covered with a plastic moisture-proof coating. An adjustable corner flashing is used which compensates for any minor misalignment of front and end walls.
