plaster expansion joint beads

Plaster expansion joint bead profiles help to prevent cracking by accommodating thermal expansion and compression. They can also be folded through 90 degrees where a movement joint is required in an internal corner.

PVCu plaster beads are an unobtrusive component of render systems that will never rust or stain; unlike steel alternatives.

The strength and durability offered by PVCu protects plaster from damage in the event of impact.

Plaster expansion joint beads

PVCu plaster expansion joint beads help to achieve a perfect finish in plastered walls and contribute towards maintaining this appearance for the life of the plaster.

Made from recycled PVCu, plaster expansion joint beads give specifiers and contractors peace of mind that they’re using a safe and easy-to-install product which doesn’t compromise the end result for the homeowner, building owner or facilities manager.

Like all Renderplas bead profiles, plaster expansion joint beads are readily available through our extensive merchant network. They help to deliver a high standard of internal finish that is guaranteed to be fit-for-purpose for a minimum of 25 years.

Plaster expansion joint bead applications

Plaster expansion joint beads are designed for use as part of internal plastered finishes. They accommodate thermal expansion and compression to prevent cracking. The position and frequency at which profiles are installed is determined by the area of wall being finished.

In addition, where a movement joint is required in an internal corner, the expansion joint beads can be folded through 90 degrees to provide one.

Correctly specified and installed plaster beading helps to achieve well-defined and reinforced edges in plastered internal walls. As with all PVCu bead profiles, plaster expansion joint beads provide a good key, allowing installers to achieve the best possible finish.

Expansion joint beads are small components which can have a big impact on the aesthetics of internal finishes in residential and commercial projects. They are available in depths of 4mm to 20mm to suit the depth of the plaster finish.

The equivalent beading solution for external rendered walls is render expansion joint beads.
