QW-BB1 Bonding Bar – Composite Timber Window Glazing Bar

The QW-BB1 Bonding Bar is a high-performance composite glazing bar from the Qwood range by Quantum Profile Systems. Designed for timber window systems, it is used to create traditional multi-pane and Georgian-style glazing layouts while benefiting from modern wood polymer composite (WPC) performance.

Manufactured for consistency and durability, the QW-BB1 provides a stable, accurate alternative to traditional timber glazing bars, making it ideal for both heritage-style and contemporary timber window designs.

Designed for Bonded Glazing Bar Systems

The QW-BB1 is commonly used in bonded glazing applications, where glazing bars are fixed to the surface of the glass unit using specialist tapes or adhesives. This allows the appearance of individual panes while using modern double-glazed units.

It is widely used in Georgian-style and restoration projects where traditional sightlines are required but modern performance standards must be maintained.
