MATERIAL:
Simpson Strong-Ties Plastering Accessories are manufactured from either: Pre-Galvanised Mild Steel, or Austenitic Stainless Steel
Mild steel galvanised to Z275 is NOT suitable for external applications. Stainless Steel should only be used in external applications with the appropriate cement based renders.
The most appropriate bead should be specified in accordance with the application, required plaster depth and desired finish. In external applications, we recommend the use of stainless steel products. Ensure that all metal components used in a given installation are of the same material type. Always wear gloves when cutting or handling to prevent injury from sharp edges. Beads and Mesh may be cut to size as required by using snips across the mesh and a hacksaw across the beads noses. Beads should be fixed in accordance with one of the following methods. Pressing the beads wings firmly into plaster dabs placed at approximately 600mm centres both sides of the arris. The wings may be embedded into the first coat of plaster for normal two coat work. Nailing to a background with galvanised, or stainless steel nails. The alignment of butt joints may be assisted by the application of headless nails, or wire of similar material, within the nosing. When beads are used in conjunction with metal lath backgrounds, galvanised or stainless steel tying wire may be used. Ensure the wire material matches the bead and lath materials. All wire should be twisted tightly and the ends bent away from the finished face of the coating. (For lath fixing details refer to DML and RBL sections of catalogue). Avoid damage to beads when trowelling plaster or render.
