Product Description

Movement beads are designed to create expansion joints in long plastered or rendered masonry runs, accommodating existing movement joints or allowing for thermal and differential movement. Each bead consists of two plaster stop beads connected by a white extrusion, providing approximately 4mm of movement when installed vertically. Meeting the equivalent standards of metal beads (BS EN 13658-2:2005), they are suitable for both internal and external use.

PVC-U beads are increasingly popular, especially in areas prone to high rainfall or extreme damp conditions. Offering a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel, they function similarly to galvanised or stainless steel beads. Made from high-density, high-impact window-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), these beads are available in white as standard, with other colors available upon request. Designed for easy installation using plaster dabs or other suitable fixings, they feature a ribbed and perforated face to ensure a strong plaster or mortar key. They can be effortlessly cut to size using a hacksaw.
