A method for welding two hollow profiled rods made of plastic to form a window frame. The profiled rods to be joined together are heated to a predetermined temperature by inserting a welding plate between their connecting surfaces and pressing the same against the welding plate, forming outer and inner beads, and the profiled rods are pressed together under pressure after removing the welding plate, with a simultaneous increase in the size of the weld bead. For all cross sections of the profiled rods and the plastics used for manufacturing the window frames, to obtain a type of shadow groove on the top side and/or front side and on the bottom side and/or rear side of the finished window frame in the area of or near the connecting sites of the finished window frame, only the outer beads formed on the visible surface of the subsequent window frame in the area of or near the connecting sites of the two profiled rods are pressed slightly inward after removing the welding plate forming an oblique edge, and then are removed together with the inner beads, and then the connecting surfaces of the two profiled rods are joined together.
