In your photo, are you mentioning that you're missing a glazing bead and are looking for it to be replaced? If so, I think we may be able to help. Is there any way you can retrieve a sample of glazing bead from another similar window in the home? We'd like to see a piece showing it from an end profile to see its full shape. Measurements are always beneficial, so please include as many detailed measurements as possible.

Thank you for your prompt replay. I tried to retrieve it from the same window but it is very brittle, I am afraid it breaks. Have you identified any possible match?
Thank you

Manuela isn't here today, but I will do my best to help.

Without seeing a view of the end profile, I'm afraid that it won't be possible for us to identify a match. All glazing bead looks more or less identical while it's installed. Seeing the shape of it is the only way to make out any distinct difference. I know that yours is brittle and difficult to remove, but there is no other way. Seeing a whole an undamaged version of the end profile is the only method we have to find a match. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you. From the information I found in an Andersen Perma-Shield® Narroline® Windows (1968 to Present) document, I believe that my window is a 3062 model. Is this information useful?

Since this is an Andersen window, you could consider our 55-306. Take a look at this and see what you think. Ultimately, though, the only way to confirm is to remove a sample of the original and compare its shape and size.

Thank you. I agree with my brother Dave. The closest match we have to your shape and dimensions is our 55-306 in white. I do think this is our best option for your window.
