The present invention relates to an improved framing system for doors or windows, fixed panels and modular composite spans, by means of which an exterior minimalist aspect can be executed. It comprises: at least one fixed rim (7) and at least one movable panel (8) in which the glass (4) is glued, thus being part of the structural component of the movable panel (8) and making possible to manufacture larger spans, so that one can have, for example, larger swinging windows; fixation chambers for fixing squares (1), located in the fixed rim (7); polyamide thermal cutting elements (2); ironmongery (5) and elements for mechanically retaining the glass (4) from the outside of the movable panel. This structural innovation has advantages as eliminating the torsion of the monolithic panel block, optimising the system's mechanical behaviour, improving the functionality of the manoeuvring accessories and increasing the lifespan of the wearing accessories.
