The QW-PGB1 pinned glazing bead from Qwood is a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber glazing beads for timber window manufacturing and refurbishment projects. Designed for use around the sides and top of glazed units, the profile provides a clean, consistent finish while helping to reduce the common issues associated with solid timber beads.

Manufactured using Qwood’s advanced composite material technology, the QW-PGB1 combines the natural appearance of timber with the long-term performance benefits of a modern engineered profile. Unlike traditional timber glazing beads, Qwood profiles will not rot, split, crack, bow or warp, helping joinery manufacturers improve quality consistency while reducing waste and remedial work.

Designed for Modern Joinery Manufacturing

The 18mm x 13mm pinned glazing bead has been developed specifically for timber window applications where reliability, consistency and ease of installation are essential. The profile can be pinned or glued into place and works effectively within wet glaze systems using glazing tape and sealant.

Qwood glazing beads arrive consistently straight and ready to use, reducing the need for sanding, preparation and conditioning typically associated with timber alternatives. This helps streamline production while maintaining a high-quality finish across every project.
