Does anyone make uPVC glazing bead for use in wooden "Georgian"
style windows?

Despite soaking the bead in Cuprinol and using the Dulux three-stage
exterior paint system, most of mine have rotted away in 18 months
or so.

The windows are fine (John Carr), but the glass bead is hopeless.


What is the shape of the section on your wooden glazin beads?
I can't really tell you if *proper* pvc glazing beads are made for
wooden windows, but you might get away with something like upvc quadrant
Ah, now you've mentioned uPVC quadrant, where do you get this stuff
from?
Small lengths, not a 15m pack.

There's a company called Celuform which makes and supplies DG companies
with upvc products. You try them to see if and what they will supply to
you, or failing that look for a upvc trader in the yellow pages of your
area.

Wickes sell various UPVC sections including quadrant - you can just get
a single 2.4 m length of whatever., as does a local hardware/wood place
near me
