QW-SS-WGB1 Wedge Gasket Bead – Composite Glazing Bead for Timber Windows

The QW-SS-WGB1 Wedge Gasket Bead is a high-performance composite glazing bead from the Qwood range by Quantum Profile Systems. Designed for timber window systems, the profile works with wedge gasket glazing systems to provide secure glazing retention, improved weather resistance, and long-term durability.

Manufactured using advanced wood polymer composite (WPC) technology, the QW-SS-WGB1 combines the appearance and workability of timber with the dimensional stability and low-maintenance benefits of engineered composite materials. The profile is designed specifically for modern timber joinery applications where reliable glazing performance and manufacturing efficiency are essential.

Designed for Modern Wedge Gasket Glazing Systems

The QW-SS-WGB1 profile is engineered to work as part of a wedge gasket glazing system, helping to create a secure and weather-resistant seal around double-glazed units. It is designed to integrate with compatible Qwood glazing bars and bonding bar systems for a clean and consistent finish.

Unlike traditional timber glazing beads, Qwood composite profiles remain consistently straight and stable, helping manufacturers reduce waste, improve machining accuracy, and minimise movement over time.
