PRODUCTS
Angle Bead
Angle beads provide with its solid metal nose a straight corner. Expanded diamond mesh wings allow for keying the plaster right up to the nose of the bead. It is designed to protect the corners.
Plaster Stop Bead
Plaster stop bead provides a straight accurate line, it is used to reinforce the plaster or render on its edge. Plaster stop bead is designed as a universal plaster stop used at wall ends, door and window openings to make a neat, flush frame.
Movement Bead
Movement Beads are used to relieve the stress and strain in large plaster areas of wall and ceiling stucco areas and to allow for movement between adjoining surface finishes.
Architrave Bead With flange
Mainly used for decorative purposes to give a channel gap or a shadow between different walls finishes.
Architrave Bead Without flange
Mainly used for decorative purposes to give a shadow between different walls finishes.
Metal Sheet Lath
Sheet lath is produced as a key for plaster when applied on suspended ceiling and walls. Sheet lath is used for encasing steel column and beams, assisting in the protection from fire.
Rib Lath
Manufactured from Pre-galvanized steel to BSEN 10327. Hy Rib is available using stainless steeI to BSEN 10088-2 type 1 .4301 . The profile of Hy Rib open mesh in combination with its ribs provide an inherently stiff sheet along its length.
Glass Fiber Mesh
Strip Mesh Lathes are used along stress lines where cracking is likely. Strip mesh provides reinforcement to the plaster to prevent crack over joints of different materials.
BR Mesh
Block reinforcement meshes are produced for brick and block work reinforcement. Their primary usage is to prevent cracking. Brick reinforcement meshes increase resistance to tensional stress.
