A modular glazing system having several members, each member having one or more keyways or keys that permit the members to be connected. A preferred embodiment has four fundamental shapes: a base longitudinal member (10), an expander (40), an expander (50) and a screen sash member (60). The base longitudinal member (10) has a glazing channel (12) through which supplement al or primary glazing material is inserted. Along one side wall of the base longitudinal member (10) is a keyway (16) formed to interlock with a key (18 ) from another piece. At right angles to the first keyway (16) in the base longitudinal member (10), and disposed along a bottom wall of the base longitudinal member (10), is another keyway (16), similarly shaped. The base longitudinal member (10) also has an interior aperture (14) through which an L- shaped connector (130) is inserted to form corners. An expander (40) shaped generally like the letter H, has two keys (18), one located on either side o f the middle bar of the letter H. An expander (50) has only one key (18), depending downwardly from the middle bar of the letter H. Each expander can be further modified by removing one or more of the walls of the letter H or bending them, as may be required. Glazing material (80) is inserted into the base longitudinal member (10) joined by connectors (130). A resilient materi al is inserted into the keyways (16) that form the outer edges of each of these base longitudinal members (10), allowing the unit formed to be compression f it into a window opening. Expanders allow several units to be joined.
