INDUSTRY NEWS: DON’T LET
RUSTY RUIN YOUR RENDER!
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.
For rendering and plastering
made simple, download
the Simpson Strong-Tie
2020 catalogue which is
packed with handy tips and
installation guidance… and
make sure you stay away from
Rusty!

Simply install the rail
system, attach the carriage
and plug it in. The Multilift

you need and the included
mounting bracket enables
