BONDING BAR 18MM x 13MM QW-BB4

QW-BB4 Bonding Bar – Composite Timber Window Glazing Bar

The QW-BB4 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 the strength and stability of modern wood polymer composite (WPC) technology.

Manufactured for precision and durability, the QW-BB4 provides a consistent, straight and reliable alternative to traditional timber glazing bars, making it suitable for both heritage-style and contemporary timber window designs.

Designed for Bonded Glazing Bar Systems

The QW-BB4 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 manufacturers to achieve the appearance of individual panes while using modern double-glazed units.

The system helps deliver a clean, traditional aesthetic while maintaining high thermal performance and modern manufacturing efficiency.
