Simpson Strong-Tie Angle Bead Wing Stainless steel 3m

The Simpson Strong-Tie Wide External Angle Bead Wings is 3000mm in length and it is made of stainless steel. It is used with plaster to prevent chips and cracks from occurring on vulnerable corners. It reinforces the external render where it is most needed, while the expanded metal wings provide an excellent mechanical key for most types of render. However the stainless steel beads are specifically designed for cement-based renders and hence should not be used with gypsum-based plasters. The bead is simple and quick to fix by the plasterer. On most backgrounds this can be carried out by using dabs at suitable centres. While preparing render mixes, use of water contaminated with soluble salts should be avoided. In order to prevent bimetallic corrosion, it should also be ensured that all metal fixings and tying wires are either of the same material or are separated with a suitable plastic sheathing. The product should be kept dry, stored flat, and handled with care to prevent damage. It may be cut to size as required by using snips across the mesh and a hacksaw across the bead's nose. Users are advised to wear gloves while cutting or handling to prevent injury from sharp edges. The product is CE marked and it is suitable for both domestic and commercial applications.
