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.
