DON ’ T LET RUSTY RUIN YOUR RENDER !
When planning an outdoor rendering project it ’ s important to remember to choose beads made of stainless steel or PVCu . Building requirements 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 accepted for external rendering in any situation .
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 alternatives , have 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 .
Our SAB-S Standard Angle Bead has been designed to prevent chipping and cracking to vulnerable corners .
ERS-S Render Stop Bead provides aesthetic , enhanced weathering detail , along with reinforcement to resist impact damage .
The PSB-S Mesh Wing Plaster Stop Bead has numerous potential applications internally and externally including those at openings , abutment of walls and for ceiling finishes .
The MVB-S Movement Bead consists of two lengths of Stop Bead linked with a white PVC extrusion .
