6mm PVC Movement Joint x 2.5mtr WHITE

The PVC Clip-on Bead with Mesh (6 mm) is a purpose-designed profile component tailored for use in External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS). This clip-on accessory serves as a finishing aid when working with aluminium base profiles, helping installers achieve a consistent 6 mm render thickness while ensuring durability and performance in the critical front edge area.

Manufactured from rigid PVC and integrated with ETAG-approved E-glass mesh (4 x 4 mm), the profile combines mechanical stability with ease of application. The mesh is alkali-resistant, slip-resistant, and possesses high tensile strength—ensuring compatibility with reinforcing mortars while maintaining long-term structural integrity under demanding site conditions.

The 6 mm plaster thickness is particularly important for ensuring that the reinforcing layer is correctly formed in line with system requirements. By securing a sufficient thickness at the base edge, the profile reduces the risk of cracks and ensures long-lasting durability, even under variable environmental stress.

During installation, the aluminium base profiles must first be mounted and ETICS insulation boards bonded in place. The PVC clip-on bead is then pushed onto the front upstand of the base profile. The pre-attached mesh is embedded into the reinforcing mortar, with a minimum 10 cm overlap onto adjacent mesh sections. The mesh must extend to the kink in the integrated drip edge, which also functions as a clean pull-off edge for surface reinforcement. This design ensures proper water drainage while maintaining the integrity of the render surface.

Supplied in 250 cm lengths with a 10 cm mesh width, the product is easy to handle and cuts waste on site. Each carton contains 20 profiles, and the product should be stored flat in dry conditions, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its performance attributes.

Professionals will appreciate its compatibility with standard ETICS processing methods, as well as compliance with general construction standards. For optimal results, installers must also follow the technical guidelines of the respective ETIC system manufacturer.
