6mm PVC Stop Bead x 2.5mtr WHITE

The PVC Plaster Stop Bead with Mesh (Item 2051) is a precision-engineered accessory tailored for external wall insulation systems (ETICS) and render applications. Designed to form clean, well-defined lateral edges in plasterwork, this product provides both aesthetic and structural benefits in façade systems.

Application and Performance

This stop bead is specifically intended for use with decorative and fine plasters, providing a clear termination point that supports both the visual uniformity and mechanical integrity of the render. It is integrated at edge junctions where plaster finishes need a neat end or where reinforcement is required at the interface with adjoining surfaces.

The bead is embedded directly into the filler or reinforcing compound, overlapping with the main surface mesh. During surface reinforcement, the system requires the mesh to be guided right up to the deduction edge, ensuring continuity in strength and finish. After a suitable standing time, the finishing render is applied, creating a secure and visually crisp edge.

Material and Construction

This product is constructed from high-quality rigid PVC, featuring hole perforations for improved mechanical bonding with the plaster or render. The attached mesh is made from ETAG-approved E-glass, offering high tensile strength and slip resistance. With a mesh size of 4 × 4 mm, the fabric delivers excellent cohesion within the reinforcing layer, while remaining manageable during installation.

PVC as a base material is both alkali-resistant and free from plasticisers, ensuring durability over time and compatibility with a wide range of render systems.

Dimensions and Packaging

The bead has a plaster thickness of 6 mm and an overall width of approximately 11 cm. It is available in two lengths: 200 cm and 250 cm, offering flexibility for various façade configurations. The product is supplied in cartons of 25 pieces, supporting efficient handling and site logistics.

Installation Considerations

Prior to application, the substrate edge should be dry, clean, straight, and free from contaminants that could interfere with adhesion or reinforcement. The bead should be stored flat in dry conditions and protected from direct sunlight, maintaining its integrity before use.

The product must be installed in accordance with relevant national standards, system-specific guidelines, and general best practices for ETICS systems. It is suitable for use in combination with approved basecoat and topcoat systems.

Sustainability and Compliance

The mesh material is ETAG-approved, which indicates that it meets harmonised European technical specifications, providing confidence in long-term performance in ETICS installations. While no specific environmental certifications are listed, the durable and maintenance-free design supports long lifecycle performance.
