The 3.0m Render Bellcast Galvanised Stop Bead is a classic, high-strength plastering accessory designed to create a clean, crisp drip edge along the base of exterior walls and above door or window openings. Engineered to direct rainwater cleanly away from the wall face, it protects the underlying masonry, damp-proof courses, and foundations from water ingress.
 
Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanized steel, this bead offers superior mechanical strength and impact resistance, ensuring precise straight lines during application and screeding. The zinc coating provides reliable protection against corrosion for standard external rendering tasks and internal heavy-coat plasterwork.
 
Supplied in a standard 3.0-meter length, it allows for efficient coverage across long architectural spans with minimal joints. It is ideal for traditional sand-and-cement renders, hydraulic lime mixes, and structural basecoats in sheltered to moderate exposure environments.
 
Products simply fixed with plaster dabs or nails.
Edges, arrises, corners, joints and abutments all easier to form.
Designed to minimise potential chipping, cracking and associated damage.
Render stop bead (16mm-19mm Render Depth, 45mm Wing)

Installation
Edge beads may be fixed by dabs or by masonry nails of similar material.
Plasterboard Edge Bead: Fix the perforated wing flush to the board face before applying final skim coat. The bead may be reversed if required by fixing the wing to the board's inner surface.
Stainless steel or PVCu should be used in external applications.
