GR48 Glazing Wedge (Orange) (8mm Gap) PVC x 150M Roll - Black (Hware)

The GR48 Glazing Wedge (Orange) (8mm Gap) PVC x 150M Roll - Black is a commercial-grade glazing gasket used to mechanically secure glass within aluminium window, door and storefront framing systems. Designed for an 8mm glazing gap, the wedge is installed after the glass has been positioned inside the framing channel against the appropriate backing gasket. It is pushed or rolled into the remaining gap, creating compression that helps hold the glass firmly in position while reducing movement, rattling and potential air or water penetration. The wedge is manufactured from flexible PVC, providing a balance between installation flexibility and long-term sealing performance. Its black exterior is suitable for common architectural framing applications, while the orange identification marking assists installers in identifying the required glazing wedge profile. Supplied as a 150-metre continuous roll, the GR48 is well suited to window manufacturers, aluminium fabricators, glaziers and commercial building projects requiring high-volume glazing seal material. Installation Considerations: - Install the wedge after the glass has been correctly seated in the frame. - Use a suitable glazing roller or installation tool to push the wedge into the glazing gap. - Avoid stretching the PVC during installation, as excessive tension can cause the material to retract over time. - Cut the gasket slightly longer than the required frame section and compress the excess into the corners. - Ensure the glazing gap and frame profile are compatible with the GR48 before installation.
