decorative bead
Explanation:
You could say 'beading', but I believe 'bead' is more common (even though it doesn't mean a 'bead' as in jewellery!)

If you prefer, you could also use 'trim' (as suggested by R+C), or even 'fillet' (which is ultimately what this would amount to)

agree Ségolène Neilson: Merci de tes explications mais pour moi jonc est métallique. Quant à bead ce terme était employé pour le joint des fenêtres dans l'automobile ou pour le joint d'étanchéité.

  -> Thanks, Ségolène! Tout à fait d'accord : jonc (tout comme 'bead', 'trim', ou 'fillet') est le plus souvent métallique. Le terme 'bead' s'applique en moult domaines diverses, pas uniquement auto, ...

agree Tony M: It's OK but a bit of a layman's term, not really the same technical register as the source text / after all, 'strip' would rather translate 'bande' than 'jonc', which has a 3D element to it!
17 mins
  -> ok! both are used
agree Cervin: In this case whilst I agree with Tony M I'd probably use 'decorative strip'
17 hrs
  -> thank you Cervin
