Renderplas MJ20 is a 20mm PVCu movement joint manufactured from exterior-grade impact-resistant, UV-stable, unplasticised PVCu.
Designed for areas of render over 20m2, it should be specified every 4-6m, over structural movement joints and changes of background, giving a discreet, attractive finish.
Also for use as an internal corner with plasterboard.
Colour and appearance
Available in white only.
UV-stable PVCu; guaranteed not to stain or corrode like galvanised steel beads.
Performance
Complies with BS EN 13914-1&2:2005
BBA-certified
Class 1Y fire-rated
REACH-compliant
Flexible plastic membrane gives a certified range of +/- 2.5mm which exceeds British Standard for thermal movement (BS EN 13658-2:2005)
Protective tear-off strip allows quick removal of render from the joint
More cost-effective than stainless steel
Not affected by weather - ideal for all habitable climates; eliminates cold bridging
Should be specified in all regions of high moisture or high salt
Dissipates shock waves
Reduced spalling and impact damage
Cleaned in same way as render
Designed to outlast its metal counterparts
Guaranteed to be fit-for-purpose for the lifetime of the render, and at least 25 years
Installation
Fixing with a continuous line of adhesive mortar is preferred on blockwork, or alternatively a bed of render.
Non-corrosive mechanical fixings can be used as well but are not required. With external wall insulation, non-corrosive fixings alone are sufficient.
PVCu beading is fast and easy to cut to length with tin snips or a fine toothed hacksaw and is safer to handle than cut metal.
Supplied in 2.5m lengths and in packs of 25
