An intermediate element comprising:
- a first intermediate member and a second intermediate member, each of said first and second intermediate members including:
- an L-shaped portion in which a part of a panel of a door or window is received;
- a pad configured to be fit into at least one frame part;
- and
- an intermediate portion extended from the L-shaped portion to the pad,
- wherein the intermediate portion is integral with the L-shaped portion and the pad,
- wherein each of the L-shaped portion and the pad extend away from the intermediate portion in a first direction, and
- wherein at least one of the L-shaped portion and the pad comprise a flat face configured to receive a connector and facing only in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
- and
- the connector is received in respective faces of the first and second intermediate members for joining the first and second intermediate members together to form the intermediate element.
