Product Overview
3mm thin coat stop bead in a 3m length, manufactured from perforated metal to provide a straight, clean termination for thin skim plaster. Designed for plasterboard and drylining systems, it ensures a neat plaster edge while helping to reduce cracking and chipping at junctions.
The perforated flange allows plaster to key securely into the bead, creating a strong bond and seamless integration with the finished surface. Optimised for skim coats of 2–3mm, this bead is suited to shorter walls, reveals, and openings where a precise stop is required.
Its 3m length is suitable for standard room heights and long runs.
