How to fix plastic render beads?

Get the surface ready. Dust the surface and scrape off any flaky bits. Measure the run. Hold the bead up where it will be fitted, check the length, and mark your cut. Cut the bead to the correct size. Fix the bead to the wall. You can use adhesive dabs, a thin ribbon of render, orexternal wall insulation adhesive (for EWI systems). Most installers press the bead into a line of adhesive and adjust slightly until it is positioned correctly. The bead should sit flush, not buried or floating. Check the line. Before anything sets, step back and look at the bead from different angles. A bead that is even slightly crooked will show through the finish coat, so this is the moment to fix it. Fix around corners and openings carefully. Apply the render over the top. Once the bead is secure, start covering it with base coat or skim. Your trowel will naturally glide along the bead and use it as a guide. Smooth and level the surface, then leave it to set.

How to cut plastic render beads?

Measure the length you need, and then, using tin snips or aviation snips, or plastic-compatible shears, cut slowly so the bead does not crack. Keep the wings intact, and if any curls in, straighten using fingers. Trim the ends to get neat corners.

How to stick plastic render beads?

1. For external corners on wall returns, pillar edges, or reveals that stick out Dab or run a thin line of render or thin coat adhesive along the corner. Press the bead onto the corner so both wings sit flat against each face. Give it a gentle squeeze so the adhesive grabs through the perforations. Check that it is plumb with a level. 2. For window and door reveals (stop beads or thincoat stop beads) Apply small dabs of adhesive down the reveal, spacing them so the bead does not wobble. Push the stop bead in so its nose lines up neatly with the window or door frame. Wipe off any squeeze-out so it does not interfere with the sealant later. 3. For end-of-run areas (end stop beads) Put a slim line of adhesive behind the bead. Press it into position so the nose projects the correct depth for your final render thickness. Use a straightedge to make sure the bead is not bending or curving. 4. For movement joints (expansion beads) Mark the exact line of the expansion joint on the wall first. Apply two rows of adhesive – one for each wing of the bead. Press the bead in so the central strip sits directly over the joint line. Make sure the wings are perfectly aligned so the joint works properly. 5. For the base of the wall/starter level (Bellcast Beads) These control the base level of the render and throw rainwater clear of the wall. Put adhesive along the base track area or just above the DPC line. Press the bead into position and check that it is dead level – this sets the entire render height. A quick tap along the length keeps it straight. 6. Below Windows, Drip Edges, Eaves (Drip Beads) Drip beads stop water from running back into the wall – they force it to fall straight off. Run adhesive along the area where the drip will sit. Press the bead into place, making sure the lip is pointing outward to kick water away. Double-check to ensure it is level – a misaligned drip edge is noticeable and less effective.
