External Insulation Beads

Renderplas external wall insulation (EWI) beads help to create a high-quality finish as part of EWI and external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). Our range of PVCu external insulation beads are designed for strength and durability without the risk of rust associated with steel profiles. Renderplas EWI beads are easy to install and contribute to reliable thermal performance, making them an effective choice for new builds and refurbishments alike.

High-performance beading for EWI and ETICS

The Renderplas EWI range includes mesh angle beads, stop beads, reveal beads, drip profiles and board casement beads. These profiles boost the integrity of external insulation systems and help manage water runoff for high-quality design implementation.

Our EWI profiles feature a bonded mesh strip for faster application. This adds strength to insulation systems and improves compatibility with insulation boards, cement-based render systems and carrier boards.

We use PVCu for all our profiles as it is sturdy and long-lasting, delivering clean, consistent aesthetics even in exposed environments. While steel profiles can be vulnerable to rust, PVCu is not, while still providing strength and flexibility. PVCu’s low conductivity can help mitigate cold bridging within EWI systems which benefits thermal performance while also helping reduce energy waste.

Renderplas EWI bead profiles are an ideal choice for residential and commercial projects that want to achieve strong aesthetics, and they are readily available through our extensive merchant network. As PVCu beads are lightweight as well as being easier to cut and safer to work with than steel alternatives, they can be an easy-to-install option for a long-lasting, high-quality finish. Renderplas EWI bead profiles are designed to last, reducing costs linked to replacement and limiting the environmental impact of waste.

We offer an extensive selection of render beads for render-specific projects alongside a wide range of plaster and plasterboard beads and solutions for external finishes.

You can find more detail about our PVCu bead profiles including those designed for EWI and ETICS in our resource section. This is also where you can find a selection of technical resources, downloads, accreditation certificates and CPD resources.
