Angle Bead – Thin Coat – Internal Plastering

Product Overview

The 3mm thin coat angle bead is expertly designed to form and reinforce external 90-degree corners in plasterboard and drylining systems. Crafted from perforated metal, its sharp central arris and dual flanges create a precise edge for plaster application while reinforcing vulnerable corner areas.

Its perforated wings facilitate a secure bond as skim plaster keys through, seamlessly integrating the bead into the finished surface. Optimized for thin skim coats of approximately 2–3mm thickness, this bead is ideal for modern drylining and plasterboard finishes.
