A laminated glass retention system for securing a laminated glass subassembly within a window sash or frame member or door panel or similar component includes a retention member applied to the laminated glass subassembly. The retention member generally can include a leg portion that engages of the laminated glass subassembly, and can further include a base portion that is coupled to the frame member in which the laminated glass subassembly is seated. The retention member helps retain the insulating glass subassembly within its frame member when subjected to high winds and wind-borne debris.

1. A window or door assembly, comprising a frame member defining a channel and including an attachment surface with an upturned edge to further define a lower end of the channel;a glass subassembly having a proximal end received and seated within the channel, an inside facing surface, and an outside facing surface proximate the lower end of the channel and contacting the upturned edge of the frame member;a retention member engaging at least one of a portion of the inside facing surface of the glass subassembly and/or a portion of the proximal end of the glass subassembly;a glazing material received at least on the attachment surface at the lower end of the channel; andthe outside facing surface of the glass subassembly and at least a portion of the retention member extending adjacent at least a portion of the proximal end of the glass subassembly being attached to the channel of the frame member with the glazing material. 2. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the retention member comprises a leg portion and a base portion extending along and engaging at least a portion of the proximal end of the glass subassembly. 3. The window or door assembly of claim 2, wherein the base portion is of a length sufficient to project into and engage a heel bead of an adhesive material within the channel to couple the retention member to the frame member. 4. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the retention member comprises a leg portion engaging the inside facing surface of the glass subassembly, and a base portion projecting from the leg portion and engaging a side wall of the channel of the frame member. 5. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the retention member comprises a body having an elongated base portion extending adjacent the proximal end of the glass subassembly and a leg portion projecting at an angle with respect to the base portion and attached to the inside facing surface of the glass subassembly. 6. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the retention member comprises a substantially L-shaped body formed from at least one of a polyvinyl chloride, glass composite, nylon, polyethylene, rubber, elastomeric material, plastic tape, fiberglass cloth, fiberglass tape, woven cloth, non-woven cloth and/or combinations thereof. 7. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the retention member comprises a series of strips of a fibrous fabric or tape reinforcing material applied in succession about the inside facing surface and a proximal end portion of the glass subassembly received within the channel of the frame, the retention member having an elongation and tensile strength sufficient to provide the glass subassembly with shock absorption and force dissipation protection that meets or exceeds ASTM E1886 and ASTM E1996 large and small missile impact and pressure cycling standards, and TAS 201, 202 and 203 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zones—Impact Tests for Wind-Borne Debris) building requirements, and AAMA 506 standards. 8. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the retention member comprises a body having a series of openings formed therethrough to facilitate passage of an adhesive material through the retention member. 9. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the glass subassembly comprises an insulating glass structure including a series of laminated glass panes and an outer pane defining the outside facing surface of the glass subassembly and separated from the laminated glass panes by an insulating gap. 10. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the retention member comprises a body formed from a material having a tensile strength sufficient to transfer a tensile load from the glass subassembly to the frame upon impact and which meets or exceeds ASTM E1886 and ASTM E1996 large and small missile impact and pressure cycling standards, and TAS 201, 202 and 203 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zones—Impact Tests for Wind-Borne Debris) building requirements, and AAMA 506 standards. 11. The window or door assembly of claim 1, wherein the retention member further comprises a reinforcing material having an elongation and tensile strength to provide the glass subassembly with shock absorption and force dissipation to retain the glass subassembly within the frame sufficient to meet or exceed ASTM E1886 and ASTM E1996 large and small missile impact and pressure cycling standards, and TAS 201, 202 and 203 (High-Velocity Hurricane Zones—Impact Tests for Wind-Borne Debris) building requirements, and AAMA 506 standards. 12. The window or door assembly of claim 1, and further comprising an interior glass stop having a body including a lower surface that extends along the inside facing surface of the glass subassembly with the retention member engaged therebetween. 13. The window or door assembly of claim 12, wherein the interior glass stop further comprises a leg member that projects from the body along the channel of the frame and into the bed of glazing material attaching the glass subassembly to the frame to couple the interior glass stop to the frame. 14. A window or door assembly, comprising: a frame member defining a channel and including an attachment surface with an upturned edge to further define a lower end of the channel;a glass subassembly having a proximal end received within the channel, a proximal end edge, an inside facing surface, and an outside facing surface proximate the lower end of the channel and contacting the upturned edge of the frame member;a retention member applied along at least one of a portion of the inside facing surface of the glass subassembly and/or a portion of the proximal end of the glass subassembly;a glazing material received on and engaging the attachment surface at the lower end of the channel and engaging a side wall of the channel of the frame member; andthe outside facing surface of the glass subassembly and at least a portion of the retention member extending along at least a portion of the proximal end of the glass subassembly being received and seated within the glazing material to attach the glass subassembly and retention member to the frame member.
