Stop Beads: RSX15
Locally manufactured from recycled plastic, Renderplas PVCu stop beads are designed for function and speed on all external and internal rendering and plastering applications. Discreet but strong, all beading gives a perfect finish to through colour render with Powerbeads providing ultimate strength for heavy sand and cement
Performance: design data

Federation of Plasterers and Drywall Contractors
Applications
All standard rendering applications, external wall insulation, timber frame and other weather board systems. Provides a straight edge and stop to the render at changes of finish and up to doors and windows
Chemical
Zero chemical reaction with water, sand and cement, acrylic render, water based paint; avoid organic solvents, chlorate bleach, strong acids and alkalis
Durability
Impact resistant; dissipates shock waves; outlasts metal; cleaned or painted in same way as render
Economics
PVCu beads are a fraction of the price of stainless steel; added value over galvanized steel as PVCu beads are guaranteed not to stain of corrode. Reduction of impact damage. Powerbeads can be fixed without adhesive mortar and reduce installation time by up to 40%
Environment
Locally manufactured; high recycled content; fully recyclable; low Ecopoint score of 0.004/kg delivered
Fire
Class 1Y. Combustible within fire source, self extinguishing upon removal of flame, will not contribute to the combustion of the system
Health and Safety
PVCu beads are safe to handle removing the dangers of cut metal; suitable for prisons and schools
Heat
Ideal for all habitable climates; eliminates cold bridging
Guarantees
Fit for purpose for the lifetime of the render and at least 25 years
Mechanics
Will curve through a 4.0m radius
Pollution
Ecologically benign; non-hazardous in water; non-hazardous if ingested; does not release substances into the atmosphere
Strength
Powerbeads are particularly resilient when applying render and when scraping back
Weather
Not affected by weather and should be specified in all regions of high moisture or high salt

Site works
Installation
Standard industry practice and tools can be used. Large irregularities in the substrate should be dubbed out and allowed to set hard prior to application. Cut to length with tin snips or fine tooth saw. Non-corrosive mechanical fixings can be used to fix Powerbeads to the substrate without the need for render or mortar. Fixings should be at 300-700mm centres, at the high points if the substrate if uneven
Storage
Store vertically out of direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Can be stored flat if supported along entire length
Supply
Ex-stock next day delivery to site through extensive supply chain or direct from www.renderplas.co.uk
