PVCu BEADING
FOR RENDERING, PLASTERING
AND DRY LINING APPLICATIONS

HOW TO USE 

Fixing Recommendations

Adhesive Mortar: PVCu Beads should be set onto a continuous line of adhesive mortar, dubbing out where necessary. This allows the PVC bead to be plumbed completely straight and provides additional rigidity when trowelling on render. Where through coloured render is used, the PVCu bead will not deflect when trowelling off.

Mechanical Fixings: Care should be taken not to deform a traditional External PVCu bead when using mechanical fixings - it should only be necessary when fixing a PVCu bead horizontally to maintain straightness whilst the adhesive mortar goes off to avoid the need of a supporting baton underneath the PVCu bead. PowerBeads are the only PVCu beads to rival stainless steel in strength and performance due to their unique box section and flexible wing. These can be fixed with stainless steel nails directly onto the substrate as the flexible wing compensates for irregularities in the blockwork whilst the box section keeps the PVCu bead straight and true.  Internal PVCu beads can be quickly fixed using stainless steel staples as an alternative.

Cutting to length: Use fine toothed hacksaw and tin snips. PVC Pipe Weld adhesive can be used to butt joints.

Storage: Store horizontally away from direct hot sun.  Whilst Renderplas PVCu beads are packaged in the highest quality fibreboard tubes and double-fluted cardboard boxes, care should be taken to ensure the boxes are kept straight.
