Building regulations outlined by NHBC
and LABC only advocate the use of
austenitic stainless steel or PVCu beads
in all external rendering applications,
anywhere in the UK. Galvanised steel
beads are no longer approved for
external rendering in any situation.
Simpson Strong-Tie Sales Director
Jon Head explains: “We only recommend the use of stainless steel or
PVCu products for external applications. Galvanised steel beads should
not be used externally, unless secondary protection against corrosion
is provided. Although it’s generally known for its corrosion-resistant
properties, galvanised steel can react with the chemical components in
render, which will lead to quality issues, from unsightly rust stains, to
the degradation of the bead and possible cracking in the render.
Simply put, galvanised steel in external rendering may rust, which will
reduce the lifespan of your work and can be costly to put right. But the
good news is it’s easily avoided. Stainless steel beads are specifically
designed for cement based renders, and our range of stainless steel
angle beads, bellcast beads, stop beads and movement beads, and the
PVCu plastic alternative has been engineered to provide reinforcement
and resist impact damage. Our range of beads makes bellcasts, corners,
stops and abutments all easier to form, and they can be cut to size as
required.”
