Novel window and patio door frame members are formed by an extrusion process
that provide these members with at least one channel and with an outer weather
resistant surface and an internal imitation wood surface together with integrated
sealing strips formed in the channels for the doors, these components being fully
integrated. The process is carried out by extruding a foamed profile with a channel
through a first die therein having reduced dimensions where a protective shell
is desired, co-extruding a plastic with said foamed profile in a second die to
form a protective shell where the reduced dimensions occur, passing the co-extrusion
though a calibration die, and then heating the co-extrusion at selected location
where weather stripping is desired and then passing the co-extrusion through a
final die where plastic weather stripping is extruded therewith and then cooling
the integrated member.
