Plastering Beads

Plastering beads are essential tools for creating clean, professional-looking finishes in drywall and plastering projects. They provide a crisp edge for plaster to terminate against, preventing cracks and ensuring a smooth transition between different materials.

This category offers a variety of plastering beads to suit your needs, including:

• Angle Bead (Skim Bead): Also known as a thin-coat angle bead, this versatile product creates a straight, reinforced edge at external corners. We offer options like the Thin Coat Angle Bead 2.4m Galvanised and the Thin Coat Angle Bead 3m Galvanised for added durability.
• Stop Bead: Stop bead creates a clean stopping point for plasterwork at internal corners (like wall-to-ceiling transitions) or doorways. Here, you'll find options like the Thin Coat Stop Bead Galvanised 2.4m and the Thin Coat Stop Bead Galvanised 3m for various project lengths.

What type of plastering bead do I need?

The type of bead you need depends on the application:

• Use angle bead (skim bead) for creating straight edges on external corners of walls or ceilings.
• Use render bead for external corners where a thicker render material will be applied.
• Use stop bead for creating clean terminations for plasterwork at internal corners or around fixtures like doorways.

Can I use plastering beads with curved walls?

Standard plastering beads are not suitable for curved walls. However, some manufacturers offer flexible options that can be bent to follow gentle curves.
