PVCu bellcast beads for external and internal rendering

PVCu bellcast beads / drip beads are designed for function and speed on all external rendering applications. Discreet but strong, Renderplas beads give a perfect finish for all renders from traditional sand and cement to contemporary through-colour render.

Applications

• Provide a stop to the render just above the damp-proof course and above reveals to produce a straight edge.

• Provide protection against impact and deflect rain water. 

• Can also be used as an architectural feature at each storey to provide a shadow.

Colours

Stocked in white and ivory and seven further colours across all PVC bead profiles except B9 which is supplied in white only.

Performance

Made from cost-effective recycled, exterior-grade, impact-resistant, UV-stable PVCu, guaranteed not to stain or corrode like galvanised steel beads, reducing spalling and impact damage. Designed to outlast their metal counterparts, plastic beads are guaranteed to be fit for purpose for the lifetime of the render, and at least 25 years. 

Renderplas PVCu beads match the stipulations of the British and European standard for the design requirements of metal beads and lath (BS EN 13658-2:2005), are BBA certified, Class 1Y fire rated, and are not affected by weather.  The British and European Standard for the design and application of external render (BS EN 13914-1:2016) stipulates that only PVC beads and stainless steel beads can be used in all applications including situations of high atmospheric or background moisture and high atmospheric or background salt.

Storage, cutting and fixing

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. Fixing is no different from steel beads and standard industry practice can be followed. Please see the installation guide for details. Store vertically away from heat and direct sun, or flat if supported along the entire length.
