Claim:
Framing for panels arranged to enclose and hold one or more single or multiple parallel glazing units and having at least one frame in two parts formed from profiled parts and assembled so that their relative position can be modified, each of the said profiled parts having at least one longitudinal wing which enclose a glazing unit, wherein each of the said profiled parts comprises at least one upper transverse wing and one lower transverse wing parallel thereto, said transverse wings at least partially fitting around at least one insulation element rectangular in cross-section and comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein said transverse wings comprises inner surfaces in contact with corresponding surfaces of the upper and lower surfaces of the insulation element, said inner surfaces of the transverse wings having at least one planar portion and at least one notched portion, wherein said corresponding surfaces of the upper and lower surfaces of the insulation element have at least one anchoring strip, the said anchoring strip being cross-knurled and configured to interact with the said notched portion of said inner surfaces of the transverse wings, said notched portion and said anchoring strip being configured to ensure the connection of the said parts of each frame, and wherein the upper surface of the insulation element has at least one sealing strip, said sealing strip being straight-knurled, in contact with said planar portion of the upper transverse wing and configured to interact with said planar portion of the upper transverse wing so as to limit the entry of water through the space between the upper transverse wing and the insulation element.
