Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Red hardwood (maranti) |
| Profile | Hockey stick glazing bead |
| Nominal Size | 23mm x 26mm |
| Length | 2400mm |
| Finish | Smooth machined, suitable for staining or painting |
| Use | Fire door glazing applications |
What it's used for
- Securing glass panels in hardwood fire doors where a firecheck specification is required
- Providing a neat, rebated finish around glazed panels in internal fire-rated door sets
- Complementing timber window frames or timber-effect finishes where a hardwood bead is preferred over softwood
- Use alongside intumescent glazing tape systems in fire door assemblies
Fitting and handling
Allow the bead to acclimatise in the room where it will be fitted for at least 48 hours before installation, particularly in heated interiors, to minimise movement after fixing. The hockey stick profile can be fixed using panel pins or a suitable timber adhesive, depending on the glazing system and door manufacturer's guidance. If painting or staining, apply a primer or base coat to all faces, including the back, before fitting to help stabilise moisture movement and achieve a consistent finish.
FAQ
What is a hockey stick glazing bead used for on a fire door?
A hockey stick glazing bead is shaped with a stepped, rebated profile that sits neatly against both the glass panel and the door leaf, holding the glass securely in place while covering the joint. On fire doors, it forms part of the glazing system that must maintain integrity in a fire situation, so a firecheck-rated hardwood bead is required rather than a standard softwood moulding.
Can I use this bead on a softwood fire door?
This bead is machined from red hardwood (maranti) and is suitable for use with hardwood fire door sets. If you are working on a softwood or composite fire door, check the door manufacturer's specification, as some door sets require matching materials or specific bead profiles to maintain their fire rating certification.
Do I need intumescent tape with this glazing bead?
In most fire door glazing assemblies, intumescent glazing tape is required between the glass and the bead, as well as between the glass and the rebate, to maintain the door's fire integrity rating. The bead itself contributes to the overall assembly, but the tape is a separate component. Always follow the door manufacturer's glazing instructions and refer to the relevant British Standards for fire door installation.
