Plaster beading

Plaster beading is widely used for dry lining to create strong, clean, durable edges on plastered surfaces. Used on corners, edges, and at junctions, it reinforces plasterwork and prevents cracking.

If you’re shopping for plaster beading, there are several different options, including:

• Angle beads - also known as corner beads, these are used to protect the corners where plasterboards meet.
• Edge beads - also known as stop beads, edge beads reinforce the edges of boards where they meet different surfaces, like stone walls or ceilings.
• Bellcast beads - also known as drip beads, bellcast beads are used on eternal walls to move rainwater away from the building's facade.
• Expansion beads – these allow for movement between boards, e.g. where they’re likely to expend or contract due to high humidity.

Beading is available in a range of materials, including galvanised steel, stainless steel, and plastic, offering durability for different environments. Installing beading on your project? Whether you’re using screws and fixings, or plasterboard adhesive, we’ve got you covered.
