Product Overview
3mm thin coat angle bead in a 2.4m length, designed to form and reinforce external 90-degree corners in plasterboard and drylining systems. Manufactured from perforated metal with a sharp central arris and two flanges, it provides a precise edge for plaster application while reinforcing vulnerable corner areas.
The perforated wings allow skim plaster to key through, creating a secure bond that integrates the bead into the finished surface. Specifically engineered for thin skim coats of around 2–3mm thickness, it is suited to modern drylining and plasterboard finishes.
Lightweight, durable, and easy to cut, this bead ensures strong protection for plasterboard corners while delivering a crisp, professional finish.
At 2.4m length, this bead is suited to shorter walls, reveals, and detailed finishing work.
