Condensed Water Drain-Off TRIZ Cases
- Window Condensation Gutter With Braided Drain for Frame Protection
A sealed gutter and braided drain wire capture window condensation and route it to a collector before water damages frames or fittings.
- Passive Siphon Drainage for Wind-Driven Sliding Door Water Intrusion
A passive siphon tube drains sliding door and window tracks during wind-driven rain, improving drainage when weep holes are overwhelmed.
- Fenestration Frame Surface Energy Layout for Water Drainage
Selective hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions guide water through fenestration frame flow paths while blocking ingress into dry areas.
- Fenestration Profile Surface Energy Patterning for Watertight Drainage
Localized hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions on fenestration profiles steer water to drain paths while maintaining sealing and pressure equalization.
- Fenestration Frame Weep Channels for Hidden Water Drainage
Built-in perimeter drainage channels, weep holes, and wicking paths move water out of window and door frames to prevent hidden buildup and damage.
