Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Red hardwood (maranti) |
| Nominal Size | 9mm x 9mm |
| Length | 2400mm |
| Profile | Glass bead |
| Finish | Unfinished, ready for stain or varnish |
What it's used for
- Retaining single or double-glazed units within hardwood window frames
- Replacing worn or damaged glass beads on timber casement and sash windows
- Finishing glazed door panels and cabinet glazing in hardwood joinery
- Matching existing hardwood window and door frames where a consistent timber species is needed
Fitting and handling
Allow the bead to acclimatise to internal conditions for at least 48 hours before fitting, particularly in heated rooms, to reduce the risk of movement after installation. Fix using panel pins or a suitable timber adhesive, mitring corners neatly for a clean finish. Once fitted, apply a compatible stain or varnish to protect the timber and match the surrounding joinery.
FAQ
What size glass bead do I need for my window frames?
The correct size depends on the rebate depth and glass thickness of your existing frames. A 9mm x 9mm bead suits standard rebates where a slim, unobtrusive finish is needed. If in doubt, measure the existing bead or the rebate width before ordering.
Can this hardwood glass bead be painted?
Yes. Although maranti takes stain and varnish particularly well, it can also be primed and painted. Applying a hardwood primer first will improve adhesion and give a more even painted finish.
How many lengths do I need for a standard window?
A typical single casement window will require two to three 2400mm lengths, depending on pane size. Measure the perimeter of the glazed area, add around 10 percent for mitre waste, then divide by 2400mm to calculate the number of lengths required.
