Beading

Learn more about beading 

Often referred to as bead moulding, beading is a narrow strip of timber used to hide joints, cover gaps, or secure materials in place.

Think of it as the finishing touch that bridges the gap between two surfaces, transforming a functional joint into a professional, seamless detail often found on window panes.

Typical uses 

Primarily used as window beading, these decorative timber mouldings are designed to hold glass panes firmly in place within wooden frames. Beyond window glazing, they serve as excellent finishing strips for various carpentry applications, offering a clean, uniform look that hides gaps and softens sharp edges.

How to choose the right beading 

• When selecting your beading, consider the profile design - such as Ovolo or wedge - to ensure it complements your current joinery. 

• Measure your rebate depth accurately to achieve a flush fit. 

• Our unfinished pine range is ideal for customisation; simply prime, paint, or stain to match your existing skirting boards or architrave.

Before you order 

Ensure you have measured the length of the frames you are covering, allowing for mitre cuts. Since these products are natural timber, check that the dimensions match your glass thickness to prevent movement or damage.
