Noseless Meshed Angle Bead (NMAB) provides invisible reinforcement and protection to the corners of buildings and openings, helping reduce the risk of cracking.
The Window Protection Bead (PWWBP), more commonly known as an APU bead, protects the window during render application. It reduces the risk of cracking and creates a water-resistant seal between the bead and window frame.
The ProWall Base Bead (PWBB) is one base bead that protects both the render board and the render at the base of a boarded system. Tried and tested as part of the ProWall rainscreen cladding system, this time and material-saving drip casing bead is available to use with all render board systems.
