FIXclip H16 – Moulding Connectors for Window Construction

The FIXclip H16 is a concealed plastic clip for attaching glazing beads and mouldings to wood windows and wood-aluminum windows without visible fasteners. Instead of nailing or screwing through the face of the bead — which can split wood, crack glass, or leave unsightly fastener heads — the FIXclip secures the bead from behind with a hidden snap-on connection.

The clip base is fastened to the window frame by nail or screw, then the glazing bead simply presses onto the clip and locks into place. To remove the bead for glass replacement or service, lever it off the clip — the bead, glass, and frame remain undamaged. The H16 is the standard mid-size option of three FIXclip sizes (H12, H16, H20), with a 16 mm clip height for typical glazing bead profiles.

The FIXclip is tested and certified for wind load class C5 (EN 12210) and shock resistance class 3 (EN 13049), meeting the performance requirements for commercial and residential window installations.

Tips

• The FIXclip H16 is the standard size for most glazing bead profiles. For smaller profiles, use the FIXclip H12 (K078/1). For larger profiles, use the FIXclip H20 (K077/1).
• Ensure the clip height matches your glazing bead profile for proper engagement.
