The joinery element comprises at least one extruded profile (400) made of an extrudable organic material reinforced by at least one reinforcing tape (401) consisting of continuous glass filaments and an organic material. It is characterized in that the tape is formed from continuous yarns based on continuous glass filaments and filaments of thermoplastic organic material, said yarns being brought together so as to be mutually parallel. A manufacturing process comprises at least the following steps: continuous yarns (11) based on continuous glass fibers and on a first thermoplastic are brought together so as to be parallel and at least one consolidated tape (13) is formed by heating them, in which tape the reinforcing fibers are impregnated with the first thermoplastic; and at least one tape (13) is introduced into a die (200) sized to the cross section of the profile and at least one second molten extrudable organic material (30) is simultaneously introduced into said die (200) in contact with the tape or tapes, so as to obtain a profile (10) consisting of at least one second extrudable organic material reinforced by at least one tape.
A joinery element comprising at least one extruded profile (400) made of an extrudable organic material reinforced by at least one reinforcing tape (401) consisting of continuous glass filaments and an organic thermoplastic material, characterized in that the tape (401) is formed from continuous yarns (11) based on continuous glass filaments and filaments of a first thermoplastic organic material, said yarns being brought together so as to be mutually parallel.
The joinery element as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said thermoplastic organic material in filament form is a polyester and the extruded extrudable organic material is polyvinyl chloride.
The joinery element as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least part of the surface of the profile is a colored extrudable organic material.
The joinery element as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the profile (400) includes at least one chamber (404) and at least one wall (402) reinforced by at least one tape (401).
The joinery element as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the cross section of the tape (401) is substantially of elongate rectangular shape.
A joinery framework element, especially a fixed and/or opening window frame and/or a shutter and/or a door and/or a gate comprising a joinery element as claimed in any one of the preceding claims.
The process as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the profile (14) on leaving the die (200) is cooled in order to fix its dimensional features and its appearance in order to deliver said final profile (10).
The process as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the profile (10) is cut up at the end of the manufacturing line in order to be stored and/or assembled into a joinery element.
