What is a Wedge Gasket?

A wedge gasket (also known as a glazing wedge or wedge seal) is a specific type of compression seal designed to:

• Hold glass securely in the frame or sash
• Provide weatherproofing by sealing gaps between the glass and frame
• Help absorb movement caused by thermal expansion or structural shifts
• Reduce rattling and vibration in the window unit

Installation Position:

The wedge gasket is installed between the glass unit and the frame:

1. After the glass unit has been positioned in the window frame (or door frame)
2. A "setting block" or bead is often used to position and support the glass at the bottom
3. Once the glass is aligned, the wedge gasket is pushed into the gap between the edge of the frame and the glass, typically from the inside. The gasket's shape allows it to locate into the profile groove for a secure fit.
4. It compresses against the glass, holding it firmly in place and forming a tight weatherproof seal
