Glazing beads are wood or vinyl pieces located around the perimeter of the glass on Andersen® window and patio doors. They cover the space between the edge of the glass and the sash or panel, providing a clean, finished appearance. While they enhance the look of your window or door, the primary seal is created by the sealant beneath the glass.
