A window structure using a structural retainer support for converting a conventional window into a double insulated window. Sealant tape is applied to the inside periphery of the primary conventional window pane. A thin flat retainer is secured to the window adjacent to the sealant tape. The flat retainer has a flange that is integral with the retainer and extends from its midsection and lies parallel to the adjacent flat portion defining a channel therebetween. A second window pane lies in abutting contact with the flange of the retainer while also lying in abutting contact with the sealant strip which is tacky to provide a dead air space between the two window panes. A trim member is latched to the retainer by having a longitudinally extending strip means that latches into a latch means in the channel of the retainer. The trim member exerts pressure on the second window pane to firmly retain the pane against the sealant tape.

A double glazed window structure consisting of a rectangular window frame; a first pane seated in said window frame; said first pane having an exterior surface, an interior surface and a periphery; said window frame being recessed to abuttingly contact said interior surface along said periphery to receive said first pane to define a one piece unit; glazing means abutting the periphery of said exterior surface of said first pane and said window frame to securely fasten and retain said first pane in said window frame; a sealant tape mounted around and adhered to the peripheral interior surface of said first pane, a flat longitudinally extending rigid retainer support member mounted on said window frame closely adjacent said peripheral interior surface of said first panel; said retainer having a forwardly disposed edge and a rearwardly disposed edge; said forwardly disposed edge abutting said first pane; said retainer having a plurality of spaced holes closely adjacent to said forwardly disposed edge to receive securing means to fasten said retainer to said window frame; said retainer having a midportion located between said forwardly disposed edge and said rearwardly disposed edge; said retainer having a longitudinally extending flange member integrally connected to said midportion of said retainer; said flange member cooperative with that portion of said retainer adjacent to said rearwardly disposed edge to define a narrow channel therebetween; said flange portion disposed inside of said narrow channel has at least a pair of abutments; a second pane having the peripheral edge of one surface in abutting contact with said sealant tape; said second pane having its peripheral edge in sealing contact with said flange; a thin longitudinally extending flat rigid trim member having a running length with an upper portion and a lower portion; the juncture of said upper portion and said lower portion having an outwardly extending thin continuous strip member; and said strip member having an abutment for locking engagement with said abutments in said narrow channel to position the uppermost end of said upper portion against the other peripheral surface of said second pane to exert a pressure thereon as said lower portion flexes and contacts said window frame.
