ABSTRACT:
An exemplary window frame assembly includes a window frame and spring clips. The window frame includes a window frame body, and flanges extend from the window frame body. The spring clips are removably attachable to the flanges. Each flange may define at least one first locking member and each spring clip may define at least one second locking member configured to engage the first locking member. For example, the at least one first locking member may include saw tooth grooves and the at least one second locking member may include a pair of angled tabs. As another example, the at least one first locking member may include a pair of angled tabs and the at least one second locking member may include saw tooth grooves. Each spring clip may further define a release mechanism, such as a tab, that is configured to disengage the spring clip and the flange.
