Plaster Beads & Mesh

Beading for plaster or plaster beads are manufactured from metal or plastic and are fitted to walls or ceilings before plaster is applied. They give clean straight edges to plaster work and reinforce corners.

Plaster beads also help achieve consistent wall thickness and a smooth finish. They are like a guide for a plasterer and help create an even, smooth, strong surface.

There are different types of beads available, and each is designed for a very specific purpose. Corner beads are fitted to give straight corners. They are available in L shape for external corners and U shape for internal corners. Stop beads create a stop point for plaster and are often used around door and window frames. Shadow beads are used to create a shadow or reveal effect in modern buildings. Expansion beads are used where plaster maybe subjected to very slight movement. They allow for some flexibility and help prevent the plaster from cracking.
