Product Overview
An essential external rendering accessory designed to form a neat, reinforced lower edge for render applications. Commonly known as a "Bellcast" bead, it features a specialized undercut profile that acts as a drip edge, effectively shedding rainwater away from the base of the wall and protecting the damp proof course (DPC) from moisture ingress.
Engineered for use with multi-coat render systems between 16mm and 20mm in depth, this 3-metre bead ensures a perfectly straight finish while providing structural reinforcement to prevent the render from cracking or chipping at its most vulnerable points.
Key Features & Benefits
- Rainwater Management: The undercut bellcast profile directs water away from the wall to prevent staining and dampness at the base.
- Structural Reinforcement: The 65mm expanded metal wing provides a secure bond and reinforces the render to resist impact damage.
- Heavy-Duty Coating: Galvanized with a 275g/m² zinc coating for excellent corrosion resistance in standard external environments.
- Professional Finish: Ensures a crisp, straight horizontal line at the base of rendered elevations.
- Precision Installation: Easily cut to the required size using standard tin-snips or aviation cutters.
