  • the dimension to be bridged by the glass block bridge corresponds to the difference between the clear frame dimension and the dimension of the surface element to be used.
  • the weight of the surface element is directed over the glass block bridges into the geodetically lower horizontal profile section of the casement.
  • the effect of this weight on the geodetically lower horizontal profile section of the sash frame can lead to severe bending of this profile section, which can have a negative impact on trouble-free opening and closing of the window, especially at high temperatures.
  • the surface elements are glued into the sash frame so that their weight is evenly transferred. Such gluing of the planar element in the casement is, however, labor-intensive and cost-intensive.
  • the present invention begins, which is based on the object of providing a carrier element for supporting a surface element in a casement of a window or door sash, which at least partially overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the usability of a window or door sash comprising the carrier element according to the invention should be ensured even with a high weight of the surface element.
  • the surface element without gluing in the window or door sash comprising the carrier element according to the invention can be held, without the sash frame bending due to the weight of the planar element.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a window or door sash which comprises a carrier element according to the invention.
