Glazing rabbet
Also called rebate, glazing rebate
The L-shaped step cut along the edge of a sash member for the glass to sit in.
The rabbet is a step cut out of the corner of each stile, rail and muntin. The glass sits on its floor and against its back, and is then held in from the open side by putty or a bead.
On a traditional wood sash the rabbet faces outside, so the pane is set and puttied from the exterior.
