A frame assembly has a surface bearing element which comprises at least one glass pane. A plastic profile frame (1, 2) encloses the end face of the surface bearing element. For strengthening purposes, the plastic profile frame (1, 2) has reinforcing components (7, 14, 19, 26, 35) of fibre-reinforced plastic. A receiving portion (3) is provided as an enclosing edge portion of the surface bearing element. The reinforcing components (7, 14, 19, 26, 35) of fibre-reinforced plastic are boundary walls of internal hollow spaces (9-11, 16-18, 21-23, 28-30, 37, 38) which, together with non-reinforced boundary walls, bound the internal hollow spaces. The profile frame (1, 2) is embodied as a coextrudate of the reinforcing components (7, 14, 19, 26, 35) and the non-reinforced boundary walls (4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 25, 31, 32, 33, 34). This results in a frame assembly which can be produced using mass production techniques with minimal use of fibre-reinforced plastic material.
A frame assembly comprising a surface bearing element with at least one glass pane, a plastic profile frame enclosing the end face of the surface hearing element. said plastic profile frame having reinforcing components made of fiber-reinforced plastic for providing reinforcement, a receiving portion for a an enclosing edge portion of the surface bearing clement, characterized in that the reinforcing components made of fiber-reinforced plastic represent boundary walls of inner hollow spaces of the profile frame, said boundary walls that, together with un-reinforced boundary walls delimit the internal hollow spaces, the profile frame being embodied as a coextrudate of the reinforcing components and the un-reinforced boundary walls, wherein the reinforcing components are designed to be exposed to the hollow spaces where they delimit the inner hollow spaces.
