摘要

The frame (2) is inserted in a recess in a sandwich wall element (1). At least an outer plate (5) of the wall element forms a metal strip (12) that projects over a core (7) of the wall. The frame is inserted in a slit (13) in the metal strip and is secured by a wedge seal (14) fitted in the slit. The wedge seal is of rubber or a similar material. Preferably, a strip (15) with rubber lips (16) fixes the frame to the inner plate of the wall. The wall element may be constructed in a modular fashion with galvanised steel outer plates (5,6) and an inner hard foam core (7). The wall elements may be assembled with tongue and groove joints.
