But what sets it apart from traditional materials, and why should it be your go-to solution? In this article, we'll explore everything you need to know about Durodeen Glazing Bead and why it is revolutionising the joinery industry.
1. What is Durodeen Glazing Bead?
Durodeen is a highly durable, flexible glazing bead made from a unique blend of materials designed to last longer than traditional timber or PVC beads.
It offers superior weather resistance and doesn’t warp, crack, or discolour over time, making it ideal for both external and internal joinery projects.
The Composition and Properties of Durodeen
Durodeen glazing bead is made from a composite material that combines the look of timber with the enhanced performance of modern polymers.
Key properties:
- Weather resistance: Unaffected by extreme temperature changes, UV rays, or moisture
- Flexibility: Perfect for use in projects requiring precision, as it adapts to various glass pane sizes and shapes
- Stability: Dimensionally stable with no shrinkage or swelling
Traditional Beads vs. Durodeen
Traditional timber beads often require regular maintenance due to warping, rotting, or peeling, especially when exposed to the elements.
Durodeen, on the other hand, maintains its appearance and structural integrity with little to no maintenance. This longevity not only saves time but also reduces long-term costs for both joiners and their clients.
2. The Benefits of Using Durodeen for Joiners
For joinery professionals, the choice of materials can impact both the quality of the work and the efficiency of the installation process. Here’s why Durodeen glazing bead stands out as the preferred choice.
Faster Installation and Greater Precision
- Ease of use: Durodeen beads are easy to cut and fit, thanks to their flexibility. This makes them perfect for a range of window and door installations, with no split outs when end profiling.
- Consistency: Unlike timber, Durodeen beads are uniform in shape and size, ensuring a perfect fit with less time spent making adjustments on-site.
Enhancing aesthetic appeal
- Sprays up just like timber: With the appearance of real wood, Durodeen blends seamlessly with both traditional and contemporary joinery projects.
- No extra cost: Bespoke profiles at no extra cost*
