The process for the realization of reinforcing bars for door and window frames comprises: a step of providing a reinforcing bar (1) made of a metal material having a drillable face (2); and a step of drilling of the drillable face (2) to obtain a fixing hole (5) in the reinforcing bar (1) having a characteristic dimension (A) comprised between 2 mm and 5 mm, wherein the reinforcing bar (1) is insertable into a profiled element (4) made of plastic material and the fixing hole (5) is configured to be penetrated by the softened plastic material of the profiled element (4) to define a riveting portion (6) for fixing the profiled element (4) to the reinforcing bar (1).

A patio door assembly includes a panel with a glass unit, and a polymer frame including a bottom member with a sill platform. A support beam is coupleable to the bottom member over the sill platform. The support beam defines a first channel between a top surface of the support beam and a platform, defines a second channel between the platform and the sill platform, a slot defined in the platform of the support beam. A structural insert is insertable in an end of the support beam and can be positioned in the support beam such that the structural insert supports a setting block for the glass unit of the panel to facilitate transferring a weight of the panel to the sill platform. The structural insert inhibits deformation of the frame when the patio door assembly is exposed to a high temperature environment (e.g., a desert environment).

The process for the realization of door and window frames made of plastic material comprises: a step of providing a profiled element (1) made of plastic material for the realization of door and window frames; a step of providing a reinforcing element (8) made of metal material, the profiled element (1) having a containment seat (6) of the reinforcing element (8); a step of inserting the reinforcing element (8) inside the containment seat (6); a step of fixing the reinforcing element (8) to the profiled element (1) by means of fixing means (9) between at least a portion of the profiled element (10) and at least a portion of the reinforcing element (11);
wherein the fixing step comprises a heating step of the portion of the reinforcing element (11) by means of electromagnetic induction means (12), the fixing means (9) being adapted to cooperate with at least one of the portion of the profiled element (10) and the heated portion of the reinforcing element (11) for the fixing of the portion of the reinforcing element (11) to the portion of the profiled element (10).
