Drylining Beads
These beads provide the plasterer with the ability to produce true straight edges in drylining applications and give an excellent key for thin coat (skim) plastering. Fixing of all the products is simple and the beads give good resistance to cracking, chipping and impact damage on corners and edges.
At Vista we offer 5 drylining beads: GPTC Galvanised Perforated Thin Coat Bead, GMM Galvanised Mini Mesh Bead, GPTCLW Galvanised Perforated Thin Coat Bead Wide Wing, GEB Galvanised Plasterboard Edge Bead and GPS Galvanised Dry Wall Stop Bead.
