Description
Order this 10mm render expansion bead when your render calls for the smaller of the two expansion bead sizes Renders World stocks. It is white, it comes in 2.5 m lengths, and it is set into the coat to give the render a planned joint. The larger size is the 15 mm white expansion bead.

Why a Render Coat Needs Planned Joints
Where the structure behind a wall has a movement joint, or where one background meets another, the two parts of the wall do not move together. Render laid straight across that line tends to crack along it sooner or later. Rather than leave a crack to pick its own line, set an expansion bead there and the coat gets a clean, straight joint exactly where you chose.
Ordering Enough Length
Measure each joint on its own, round it up to whole 2.5 m lengths, and only then add the joints together for the order. If you cannot tell whether 10 mm or 15 mm is right for your render, ring 023 8200 2442 before ordering.
Other Profiles for the Same Wall
Joints are only one part of the job. Edges where the render stops against another material take stop beads where the render ends, outside corners take corner beads for render, and the step-by-step stop bead method shows how edge beads go on. Other causes of cracking, and how to prevent each one, are covered in render cracking: causes and prevention. The rest of the profiles are under render profiles and mesh, and everything for rendering is in the full rendering range.
