Abstract

A sliding window with a frame provided with a glazing adapted to be mounted in a wall of masonry, wood, or the like. The frame is composed of frame profiles joined at the corners and contains glass panes inserted therein. The glass panes are guided in grooves of the frame profiles and are horizontally displaceable. The frame profile members are constructed of an extrudable synthetic resinous material, with the profile members having a U-shaped cross sectional configuration made up of two projections fashioned as hollow chambers. An undercut mounting groove is arranged between the two projections and a web, connecting the projections, is formed of two juxtaposed hollow chambers. One of the juxtaposed hollow chambers facing a weather side of the window is provided with perforations for draining the mounting groove, with a second of the juxtaposed hollow chambers containing, if desired, an inserted reinforcing profile. A sliding rail is inserted in the mounting groove of a lower horizontal frame profile of the frame.
