A window frame and a glazing strip or rim for a window panel in which the frame defining a window has a J-shaped channel with its open side facing toward the opening in the frame. The panel is surrounded on at least three sides of a rectangular panel by the glazing strip or rim which has a leg integral therewith and which is received in the frame channel. Such leg is flexible and resilient and can be bent to permit the free end thereof to ride over the shorter wall of the channel and snap into the channel. Preferably, the portion of the rim from which the leg extends is U-shaped in cross-section and embraces the outer edge portions of the panel. A resilient gasket is between the rim and the frame. If the rim is of metal, the wall of the rim remote from the frame has a line of weakening for tearing purposes. A resilient strip may be inserted between the leg and a portion of the rim. Also, a tool for inserting the panel in the frame and a double-glazed window.
