Installation Guide

Interior Applications - Plastering
Secure beads with plaster dabs or stainless steel staples every 600mm. When fixing, care should be taken not to distort the beads. In damp environments use only adhesive mortar dabs to secure.

Exterior Applications - Rendering
Use only adhesive mortar dabs to secure. Non-stainless mechanical pre-fixings should be removed before rendering. Beads used in a vertical plane plumb straight and dub out where necessary. Horizontal beads ideally should be set on a continuous bed of adhesive mortar. When used in Thermal Insulation Systems, please observe the system specifications.

Cutting to length
Use fine toothed hacksaw or tin snips. PVC Pipe Weld adhesive can be used for butt joints in conjunction with link pegs where required.

Storage
Store flat, away from heat and direct sun.

Connectivity
Beads may be easily butted together using plastic link pegs (available for purchase on request).

Regulatory Compliance
Catnic's PVCu Beads conform to BS EN 13914-1: 2005
