(54) Window and door profiles


(57) A profile is provided for use in the manufacture of a window or door, the profile comprising a hollow elongate member (10), the hollow elongate member (10) being shaped to receive a metal fixing plate (16). This enables components of architectural hardware to be securely attached to the profile, by means of a metal fixing plate, but without necessarily incurring the cost of providing metal reinforcing box sections. One embodiment of the invention provides a particularly versatile profile which can be fitted with a metal fixing plate 16, where reinforcement is considered unnecessary, but also has an extra space to accommodate metal reinforcing box section (17) should this be necessary for some applications.
