Triangular wood for corner of windows


Featured Posts

I want to replace the small wooden triangular pieces of wood which sit in the bottom corners of the cabin windows, as the old ones are now badly marked with condensation over the years. Problem is I have no idea what they are called, and cannot find anything on the internet for a supplier (probably hindered by the lack of a sensible name in the search engine). If you know what I am talking about, can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

What you are looking for is as Tony suggests. is called glazing bead, and is available in a multitude of profiles, The one you are describing is known as "Triangular bead" and is available in Pine from Wickes :-  https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Pine-Triangular-Bead-Moulding---20mm-x-20mm-x-2-4m/p/121306   They also stock a range of Glazing beads:-  https://www.wickes.co.uk/Products/Decorating+Interiors/Mouldings/Beading/c/1000593

 

If you are looking for hardwood, you may have to seek out a local hardwood stockist and ask them to machine some up  for you.

I got the impression that the OP was wanting to replace the wooden piece at the bottom corner of radiused windows rither than beading.
This would be rightangled at the two edges with a curve replicating that of the window.
As others have said these are probably all bespoke, being made by the fitter out to suit the panelling around the window.

If that is that case They will need to go to a Hardwood specialist with a sample to have new ones made, or if they are profficient and have the equipment they could be made using a router.

 

Perhaps a photo of the existing corners would help with a more informed response.

Yup. That’s what I thought he was referring to as well. Simple enough to knock them up yourself or for a joiner to make you some from a template.

Usually supplied as a complete liner for the window. Various suppliers out there and made to measure to suit particular window shape/size. For example:

Thanks everyone for taking the trouble to reply. I thought, as they were effectively right angled triangles,  they could be bought by the packet. Clearly not. I will take one off the boat as a template and get a local joiner to make up a dozen or so as replacements. The surrounds of our windows are square, so the wooden triangle is merely cosmetic to hide the right angle join. Thanks again everyone.

if the triangular pieces of wood are those which are the fillets in the corner between the metal window frame, and the wooden surround, they are a very easy job to make. The biggest "difficulty" will be  to find some wood of the correct thickness and removing the wooden surround, especially if it is glued in, as Ray's photo suggests.
