Abstract
Abstract A building kit for vertically or horizontally slidable windows which includes a multiple-chambered blind frame profile member fashioned of a synthetic resinous material which is identical for all four sides of the windows and sash profiles of hollow synthetic resinous material which are identical for all four sides of the window as well as an optional horizontal running track. The blind frame profile is fashioned so as to be planar on a side facing the sash except for approximately a centrally arranged projecting guide tongue strip extending in the longitudinal direction of the blind frame profile. An open undercut guide groove is provided in the blind frame profile member followed on each side of the chamber. To seal the sash along the corresponding inside of the window the blind frame is connected with a U-shaped end profile of a synthetic resinous material which is at most half of the width of the blind frame. The end profile is guided selectively either on the guide tongue strip or in the opening of the guide groove.
