Pine triangle bead 18mm x 18mm x 2400mm is a right-angled quadrant moulding used to secure and finish glazed panels, window frames, and internal corner joints. Cut from straight-grained softwood pine, this 2.4-metre length is a practical, easy-working choice for trade and DIY use alike.
Specifications
| Material | Softwood pine |
|---|---|
| Profile | Triangle bead (right-angled quadrant) |
| Nominal Size | 18mm x 18mm |
| Length | 2400mm |
| Finish | Planed, ready to sand and paint or stain |
What it's used for
- Securing glass panes in wooden window frames and glazed door panels
- Finishing internal corner joints in joinery and fitted furniture
- Covering expansion gaps around window boards and internal sills
- Providing a neat stop bead along panel edges in stud partitioning and cabinet work
Fitting and handling
Store the lengths flat in a dry, ventilated area and allow the moulding to acclimatise indoors for at least 24 hours before fitting, particularly in heated rooms, to reduce the risk of movement after installation. Fix with panel pins, a brad nailer, or wood adhesive, keeping fixings close to the ends to prevent splitting when cutting mitres. Sand lightly with 120-grit paper along the grain before applying paint or stain to achieve a smooth, even finish.
FAQ
What is the difference between a triangle bead and a quadrant bead?
A triangle bead has a flat, right-angled triangular cross-section with two flat faces meeting at 90 degrees and a straight hypotenuse face. A quadrant bead has a concave curved face. Triangle bead is typically preferred where a sharper, more angular finish is required, such as against flat glass or square-edged panels.
Can I use this pine triangle bead externally?
This moulding is an untreated softwood intended for interior use. If you need to use it in an exposed or semi-exposed location, apply a suitable exterior-grade primer, paint, or preservative stain to all faces including cut ends before installation.
How many lengths do I need for a standard window frame?
For a typical 1200mm x 1200mm window, you will need to bead all four sides of the glazed pane, giving a total run of roughly 4800mm. Two 2400mm lengths will cover this with minimal waste, allowing for mitre cuts at each corner.
