Abstract

A modification for window or door assemblies having interlocks on the sash rails where insulating material is placed between the interlock of a lower rail to an upper sash and the interlock of an upper rail to a lower sash so as to act as a thermal barrier against heat conduction through the upper sash which is exposed to exterior climate of the building in which the window or door assembly is being used.
