Window Beading - any thoughts
Hi everyone - below is a picture of how I've done our window beads - I got sick of having to prise off nailed on beads - so I've used some nice wafer head screws. When the sash cord breaks, it won't be such an issue to get into the window.
Any thoughts on how they look - we think they make a quite attractive addition to the window look !

They look a tad "industrial" to me. You can get white painted wafer head screws from cabinetmaker's suppliers and these may blend in a bit more.

Sounds good
Any idea where - our choices in Devonport TAS are somewhat limited !!!
I agree, white would be better.
Thanks !

How about using countersunk screws with the push on covers? Easily obtained in white too.
These covers are a shallow domed disc about 10mm round, with a cross point moulded underneath to fit into the screw slots.
They'd be even more low profile than the wafer screws.Ray

How to get white wafer heads ?
Grab a bit of scrap wood, drill some holes to hold the screw shafts, and go wild with white spray paint!Ray
