Glass Stop Moulding

From precision to protection, Glass Stop Moulding is the perfect finishing touch for those particular projects that require both. This specialized trim holds the glass securely in its place within doors, windows, and display panels, creating a seamless professional edge that's as functional as it is refined.

What is Glass Stop Moulding?

Glass Stop Moulding is a narrow strip of wood or composite material used to hold panes of glass in position within a frame. It is installed in either one or both sides of the glass to prevent movement, protect the edges, and add a clean visual border.

Normally made from hardwoods or paint-grade materials, this moulding is robust and at the same time easy to finish. It's essential in cabinetry, window construction, and commercial applications where clarity, structure, and craftsmanship all matter. Be it a replacement of an older window or a set of custom built-ins, this trim ensures lasting stability and style.
