Plastic glazing profile designed for glazing window-frames

A plastic glazing profile for mounting a glass pane in a wooden window frame comprising

• a supporting surface adapted to be fixed to a wooden window frame, a first pair of inner- and outer-most spaced-apart flanges upstanding from said supporting surface, therewith forming an upright double wall glass pane abutment having a cavity adapted to accommodate a sealing flap, a second pair of spaced-apart flanges upstanding from said supporting surface on the side opposite said glass pane, a downwardly depending flange engagable with the window frame and being offset inwardly relative to said first innermost flange upstanding from said supporting surface,
• a duct-like element for fixing a glass plane edge positioned at the other side of said profile having at the abutment side of the glass a glass-sealing flap, said duct-like element having two downwardly depending flanges positioned for snap engagement with said second pair of spaced-apart flanges to anchor said glass pane to said supporting surface, said supporting surface having frame attachment openings therethrough, said plastic glazing profile having inertia moments I.sub.x lying within a range of from 1 to 8 and I.sub.y lying between 9 and 30 when viewed from an axis I.sub.y drawn through the center of gravity of the profile and wherein the I.sub.x axis is parallel to the horizontal supporting surface.
