Bead & Mesh
Bead and Mesh for Plastering and Rendering | BS Fixings
Bead and mesh products are critical components for professional plastering and rendering, ensuring precise corners, straight edges, and durable finishes in both interior and exterior construction. At BS Fixings, our bead and mesh range provides high-quality solutions engineered to enhance structural integrity, prevent surface cracking, and deliver a refined appearance across diverse building projects.
Comprehensive Bead and Mesh Solutions
We stock a complete selection of products for plaster and render applications, including:
- Drylining Beads
Designed for skim coat plastering on plasterboard, these beads form crisp angles and clean edges. They offer excellent plaster keying properties and help achieve a uniform, professional finish on internal walls and ceilings. - Plaster and Render Beads
Traditional angle beads with mesh wings, suitable for thicker plaster or render applications. They improve adhesion, reinforce corners, and help resist cracking and surface damage, even on uneven substrates. - External Render Beads
Manufactured from durable stainless steel or galvanised steel, these beads withstand exposure to moisture and harsh weather conditions. Ideal for forming neat edges and drip details in external rendering systems. - PVC-u Beads
Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, PVC-u beads are suitable for damp or high-moisture areas. Their ribbed or perforated surfaces ensure excellent bonding with plaster or render, making them a cost-effective alternative to metal profiles. - Lathing and Mesh Products
Including expanded metal lath, rib-lath, and mesh sheets, these products create a secure mechanical key for plaster and render. They are suitable for use on masonry, timber, steel frames, or other challenging surfaces, offering excellent tensile strength and crack control.
Technical Benefits and Features
- Crack Prevention: Mesh wings and perforated flanges help control shrinkage and thermal movement, reducing the risk of surface cracks and chips.
- Material Versatility: Choose from stainless steel for corrosion resistance, galvanised steel for cost efficiency, or PVC-u for lightweight, moisture-resistant applications.
- Structural Reinforcement: Beads and laths improve impact resistance and edge strength, protecting vulnerable plaster and render finishes.
- Precise Installation: Profiles are designed for easy fixing using plaster dabs, nails, screws, or proprietary fixings, with recommended centres typically at 600mm for optimal stability.
- Multiple Depths and Profiles: Available for skim coats as thin as 2mm or thicker render systems up to 20mm, ensuring suitability for a range of project specifications.
Applications
Our bead and mesh products are suitable for:
- Creating straight edges, sharp corners, and defined architectural details in plastering and rendering.
- Enhancing plaster adhesion on challenging substrates such as brick, block, timber, steel, or concrete.
- External rendering systems requiring durability against weather and moisture.
- Forming movement joints to manage thermal or structural movement in large wall areas.
