Abstract

The invention relates to a composite bar for example for window or door frames or shutters comprising a plastic hollow profile bar with an inner and outer surface. Adjacent said surfaces substantially parallel thereto a metal flange is inserted into the interior of the plastic hollow profile bar. To increase the resistance to bending of this frame with respect to forces perpendicular to the window pane or door leaf without substantially reducing the thermal insulation the two metal flanges are connected together in shear-transmitting manner without metallic contact.
