Beading

Beading is a thin piece of metal that has a straight edge running along its length to ensure a smooth surface or angle for plastering over. It is most commonly used when applying plaster to a wall around corners, especially window and door frames. The beads allow for neat corners to be covered with ease. Whether placed on dry wall plasterboard, onto an existing pre-plastered base or on top of bare brickwork, corner beading provides a uniform thickness and professional finish.
