Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) corner beads, arch beads and plasterboard edge beads for dry lining, drywall and skim plastering applications.

PVC Angle beads/ PVC corner beads (CB2) provide a clean edge and impact protection on external corners.

PVC arch beads (CB2A) create smooth curves in arched reveals and divisions.

PVC plasterboard edge beads (EB0, EB12 and EB15) provide a clean end to plasterboard where it meets another finish such as a brick wall or door frame, and prevents cracking.

Features and benefits:

• Manufactured from recycled, exterior grade, impact resistant, UV stable PVC, providing a cost effective alternative to steel beads.
• Not affected by severe weather conditions, and can be specified in areas of high moisture or high salt such as kitchens, bathrooms and pool enclosures.
• They should always be used within 5 km of the coast.
• Will not stain or rust during lengthy drying out processes, which is especially common in inclement seasons and locations.
• Does not pose any threat to safety, either after a heavy impact or if pulled out of the wall - no sharp edges.
• Provides clean, straight edges.
