An insulating strip for connecting profiles of a composite profile for doors, windows or façade elements, at least one of the profiles being made of a metal material having a first tensile strength and having at least one roll-in groove for a roll-in connection with the insulating strip, comprising:
- a strip body made of an insulating material and extending in a longitudinal direction (z),
- a roll-in head at a longitudinal edge of the strip body, the roll-in head having a cross-sectional shape in a plane (x-y) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (z) configured to be inserted into the at least one roll-in groove, a first thickness (a2) of the cross-sectional shape of the roll-in head towards a distal outer edge of the roll-in head that faces the at least one roll-in groove being larger than a second thickness (a1) of the cross-sectional shape of the roll-in head at a transition from the roll-in head to the strip body, and
- a sheet covering at least a portion of a surface of the roll-in head and comprising surface variations,
- wherein the sheet at least partially comprises one or more portions made of a metal material having a second tensile strength of 300 N/mm2 or more.
