Plaster corner beads

Plaster corner bead profiles help to achieve a perfect finish at plastered corners and reveals, providing a straight edge and clean lines. The strength and durability of PVCu beads offer protection against everyday knocks, scrapes and collisions and contribute towards maintaining this appearance for the life of the plaster.

PVCu plaster beads are an unobtrusive component of plaster systems that will never rust or stain, unlike steel alternatives.

Plaster corner bead technical performance

Renderplas corner beads for internal plaster are a high-performance, maintenance-free solution. PVCu profiles overcome many of the shortcomings of traditional steel beads, as they are easier to handle, safer to cut and guaranteed never to rust or stain. Robust and durable, our PVCu plaster corner beads help to prevent cracking and minimise the need for remedial work. As with all PVC bead profiles, plaster corner beads provide a good key, allowing installers to achieve the best possible finish. Made from recycled PVCu, plaster corner beads give specifiers and contractors peace of mind that they’re using a safe and easy-to-install product that doesn’t compromise on performance for the homeowner, building owner or facilities manager.

Plaster corner bead features

Y-shape design

Invented by Renderplas in 1991, the design transformed the appearance of plastered corners by eliminating the large arris that is seen with a loop of folded metal. The arrowhead arris on a Renderplas plaster corner bead is strong enough to protect the corner but is unobtrusive.

40mm wings

The wings meet at just under 90 degrees and sit on the wall with ease. Tried and tested for over 35 years of use, this size is proven to be the optimal balance between control during application, cost of materials and strength when plastered.

Hexagonal holes

Nature’s answer to maximal space and maximal strength is the honeycomb. The hexagonal holes in Renderplas PVCu beads allow the most amount of plaster to key to the wall without compromising the strength of the bead.

Corner beads are small components which can have a big impact on the aesthetics of plastered finishes in residential and commercial projects. Renderplas corner beads are available in depths of 4mm to 20mm to suit the chosen plaster depth.

Plaster corner bead applications

Plaster corner beads are designed for use as part of internal systems using wet plaster. They are installed at all plastered corners and reveals to give a straight edge. Corners can be particularly vulnerable to impact, and the inherent strength and durability of PVC plaster corner bead profiles help to protect the finish against impact damage.

Correctly specified and installed plaster beading helps to achieve well-defined and reinforced edges in plastered walls.

If the internal finish is a dry-lined application, then plasterboard corner beads or skim beads should be used.

For external finishes, render corner beads are used with external rendering.

Like all Renderplas bead profiles, plaster corner beads are readily available through our extensive merchant network. They help to deliver a high standard of finish that is certified to be fit-for-purpose for a minimum of 25 years.

PVC bead colour options

All Renderplas PVC beads, whether used for external render or internal plaster, are available in white as standard. Water-based paint adheres well to PVC.

Some specialist through-coloured plasters from the leading UK manufacturers like Clayworks, do not require painting. Renderplas stock nine colours in the profiles which are most commonly used. PVC beads need no alternative maintenance and eliminate the time and cost of repainting, which would be required when using steel bead alternatives.
