Plaster Beads

Plaster Beads are an essential component in the construction and finishing of walls and ceilings. They provide a clean, sharp edge to plasterwork, enhance durability, and ensure a high-quality finish. Our range at Insulation4Less includes various types of plaster beads, each suited to different applications and preferences. Below, we explore the types available and their uses to help you select the right product for your project.

Thin Coat Galvanised Angle / Corner Bead

• Description: These galvanised angle or corner beads are designed for thin coat plasterwork. The galvanised finish provides extra durability and resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for both internal and external applications. They are typically used to create sharp, clean edges on corners and angles.

   

• Use Case: Ideal for providing a robust finish on corners, especially in areas prone to impact or moisture.

   

Thin Coat Plaster Stop Bead

• Description: The Thin Coat Plaster Stop Bead comes in a pack of 50 and is available in various sizes. These beads are used to provide a neat finish and protect the plaster edge at door and window openings or at the junction of different materials.

   

• Use Case: Perfect for creating defined stop ends for plasterwork around windows, doors, and where plaster meets other materials.

   

Render Stop (Bell Cast)

• Description: Render Stop, also known as Bell Cast Beads, are available in packs of 50 and come in multiple sizes. They are designed to form a clean finish at the bottom of a render, helping to deflect rainwater away from the wall surface.

   

• Use Case: Best suited for external rendering, particularly at the base of walls, to prevent water ingress and ensure a durable, clean line.

   

Selection Guidance

When selecting plaster beads, consider the following:

1. Application Area: Choose galvanised beads for areas exposed to moisture or higher wear and tear.
2. Material Compatibility: Ensure the bead type is compatible with your plaster or render material.

3. Finish Requirement: Select the bead shape based on the desired finish, such as sharp angles or clean stops at junctions.

    

By understanding the different types of plaster beads and their specific uses, you can achieve a professional finish in your construction or renovation project.
