An insulating body for multi-shell construction elements for spacing apart and thermally separating at least two profiled section elements relative to each other has a base member with a first side and a second side opposite the first side. Fastening projections are arranged on the first and second sides of the base member and secure the insulating body in receptacles of the profiled section elements. At least the first side has two of the fastening projections. The base member has a hollow chamber with an inner guiding contour for receiving and guiding fitting parts. A multi-shell construction element with at least two profiled section elements is provided with at least one such insulating body.

The present invention relates to an installation structure of an elastic gasket attached and installed as a sealing member to a moving window glass supporting insulation bracket in a sliding window having a two-sided supporting frame window chassis, and more specifically, it relates to an installation structure of a sealing member (e.g. an elastic gasket) that is installed to provide a sealing function between a glass supporting insulation bracket that directly supports a glass panel of the moving window from the top or bottom and a window frame provided with a sliding rail, when opening and closing the sliding window having only two-sided supporting frame that support both sides of the glass window constituting the sliding window.

A window system includes a frame, a glazing assembly held within the frame and including a glass stop attachable to the frame, wherein attaching the glass stop to the frame defines an air pocket between the glass stop and the frame, and a thermal dampening device positioned within the air pocket and defining one or more discrete cavities.

A building component includes a frame including a first material and cladding connected to the frame. The building component also includes a thermal break defined by the frame intermediate a first side and a second side of the building component and an insulating material within the thermal break. The building component further includes an insulated glass unit including a first glass pane and a second glass pane spaced from the first glass pane. The first glass pane and the second glass pane define a pocket therebetween. The thermal break and the pocket define a continuous thermal break when the building component is in a closed position.

A method of assembling a window includes positioning an insulating material in a frame thermal break defined by a middle portion of a frame intermediate a first side and a second side of the window. The method also includes connecting a cladding to the frame. The frame includes a first material visible on the first side of the window. The cladding includes a second material visible on the second side of the window. The method also includes connecting a first glass pane to a second glass pane to form an insulated glass unit and positioning the insulated glass unit in the frame. The method further includes aligning the frame thermal break and a pocket of the insulated glass unit such that a central plane of the pocket extends through a middle portion of the frame thermal break. The frame thermal break and the pocket define a continuous thermal break extending through the window.

A window includes an insulated glass unit and a frame supporting the insulated glass unit. The insulated glass unit includes a first glass pane and a second glass pane spaced from the first glass pane. A central plane extends through a pocket defined between the first glass pane and the second glass pane. The frame includes a first material visible on a first side of the window. The window also includes cladding connected to the frame. The cladding includes a second material visible on a second side of the window. The frame defines a cavity that extends between the first side and the second side and inhibits moisture from the first side contacting the second material. The window includes a thermal cavity defined by the frame and aligned with the pocket.

A building component includes a first glass pane connected to a second glass pane to form an insulated glass unit. The first glass pane and the second glass pane define a pocket therebetween. The insulated glass unit is positioned in a frame. The building component includes an insulating material in the middle portion of the frame. The insulating material defines a continuous frame thermal break extending through the frame. The frame thermal break is aligned with the pocket. The frame thermal break has a width of at least 1 inch. The pocket has a width that is less than the width of the frame thermal break.

A method is disclosed for making an improved insulated door panel having an outer and inner spaced apart skins and an internal foam core. The insulated door panel includes a first spacer disposed between a top end of the outer skin and a top end of the inner skin and a second spacer disposed between a bottom end of the outer skin and a bottom end of the inner skin. The first and second spacers include first and second protrusions, respectively, on an inner face of the first and second spacers. The first and second protrusions secure the first and second spacers to the foam core.

An insulating body for multi-shell construction elements for spacing apart and thermally separating at least two profiled section elements relative to each other has a base member with a first side and a second side opposite the first side. Fastening projections are arranged on the first and second sides of the base member and secure the insulating body in receptacles of the profiled section elements. At least the first side has two of the fastening projections. The base member has a hollow chamber with an inner guiding contour for receiving and guiding fitting parts. A multi-shell construction element with at least two profiled section elements is provided with at least one such insulating body.

The present invention is directed to a construction profile for a window or door frame, the profile manufactured in a plastics material and comprising: a main body extending in a longitudinal direction X; one fixed and one removable clamping bracket, both clamping brackets protruding from said main body in direction Y perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X, and extending parallel to one another and at a distance of one another in the longitudinal direction X; a pane receiving zone defined by, on the one hand, said clamping brackets and, on the other hand, a surface of said main body, the receiving zone configured to receive a side edge of a pane (the pane extending in the X-Y plane) to be clamped between said clamping brackets, the fixed clamping bracket comprising a hollow body having at least two side walls, one facing the pane receiving zone and one facing away the pane receiving zone and defining an upper free end portion (configured to abut a pane received in the pane receiving zone) and a base portion joining the upper free end portion to the main body, characterized in that the distance between said side walls of the fixed clamping bracket progressively widens at its base portion from the upper portion towards the main body. Further, the present invention is also directed to a window or door comprising a frame with at least one construction profile as defined above, the window or door having a Resistance Class RC 2 N according to the DIN V ENV 1627/2011 standard.
