Qwood Profiles<\/h4>\n

Machining glazing bars and beads for windows and doors can be very labour-intensive, while only contributing towards a minor aspect of the completed project. The time-consuming work can involve treating, machining, de-nibbing, sanding, and priming the wood among other repetitive tasks. The aim of Qwood<\/a> is to simplify this laborious process.<\/p>\n

Qwood manufactures timber composite profiles for use with traditional timber windows and doors. Products include staff and parting beads<\/a>, glazing beads and bars<\/a>, bolection moulds, and rain deflectors<\/a>. These profiles have the look and feel of timber, so they can be utilised in projects without losing the aesthetic appeal or the woodworking capabilities of timber.<\/p>\n

Qwood profiles really come into their own in their ease of use. They can be cut straight from the box and painted for installation immediately, with no pre-treatment necessary. There is no need to work the bars and beads, and they are free from knots or imperfections, meaning every piece can be used.<\/p>\n

Gowercroft<\/h4>\n

Qwood supplies bespoke profiles for Gowercroft\u2019s award-winning<\/a> Classic<\/a>, Heritage<\/a> and Frontier<\/a> Ranges. This includes glazing beads, internal and external glazing bars, direct glazing beads, and bolection moulds. Gowercroft takes the quality and resilience of its doors and windows seriously, offering a 10-year no maintenance guarantee<\/a>. Qwood profiles are perfectly suited to this focus on longevity. They are highly stable and durable, and resistant to environmental and temperature changes. Qwood will not swell, split or rot over time, far outlasting traditional bars and beads.<\/p>\n

The sustainability of the Qwood<\/a> process also matches up with Gowercroft\u2019s environmental ethos. Qwood products are manufactured with recycled materials and are 100% recyclable at the end of product life. Waste is minimised because every piece can be used.<\/p>\n

Qwood is a company which thrives on innovation. If Gowercroft needs a new style of bar or bead, Qwood can create a new profile to match the specification. It is this attitude which is behind the Qwood motto: We\u2019re ready when you are.<\/p>\n

QPSL is also the only provider of Forest Stewardship Council \u00ae Chain of Custody<\/a> controlled timber composite beading profiles in the world.<\/p>\n
