Specifications
| Material | Pine (softwood) |
| Nominal Size | 15mm x 21mm |
| Length | 2400mm |
| Profile | Staff bead (straight and rounded edges) |
| Finish | Unfinished, ready to sand and paint or stain |
| Primary Use | Window glazing bead |
What it's used for
- Securing single or double-glazed units within traditional timber window frames
- Replacing worn or damaged glazing beads on sash and casement windows
- Adding a clean, profiled finish to window rebates during new joinery installations
- Period property renovation work where a classic staff bead profile is required
Fitting and handling
Allow the pine to acclimatise indoors for 48 hours before fitting, particularly in rooms with variable humidity such as kitchens or bathrooms. Fix using veneer pins or a suitable adhesive, mitring corners at 45 degrees for a clean joint. Before painting or staining, lightly sand with a fine-grade paper and apply a wood primer to ensure the finish bonds correctly and protects against moisture ingress.
FAQ
What is pine staff bead used for in windows?
Staff bead is used to hold glass panes securely in position within a window frame rebate. It is pinned or glued in place after the glass is set, creating a tidy edge that can be painted to match the surrounding joinery.
Can I use this staff bead on a sash window?
Yes. Staff bead is a standard component in traditional sash window construction, where it forms part of the outer channel that guides and retains the sashes. Check your existing bead dimensions carefully before ordering to confirm this 15mm x 21mm profile is the correct replacement size.
Does pine staff bead need treating before fitting?
Pine is supplied unfinished, so it should be primed and painted or treated with an exterior-grade wood preservative or stain before or after fitting, especially on windows exposed to the weather. This prevents moisture absorption and extends the service life of the bead.
