Buyer’s Overview
This thin coat angle bead is ideal for customers carrying out plastering, drylining or internal renovation work.
Corners and reveals are some of the weakest and most easily damaged parts of a plastered wall. This bead helps reinforce those areas while also giving the plasterer a straight edge to work to, producing a neater finished corner.
The 2.4m length makes it suitable for many standard internal wall and plasterboard applications, including doorways, window reveals and full-height room corners.
Installation Guidance
Before fitting, check that the corner, reveal or plasterboard edge is clean, stable and ready for plastering.
The bead should be cut to the required length and fixed securely in position before plaster is applied. The fixing method will depend on the wall surface, plastering method and installer preference.
Customers should confirm:
-
The number of corners or reveals being finished
-
The length of each bead required
-
Whether the bead is suitable for the plaster system being used
-
Whether additional fixings or adhesive are required
-
Whether any cutting is needed before fitting
For a clean finish, ensure the bead is straight, level and properly aligned before applying plaster.
