100x100mm Profigips Aluminium Corner Bead with Mesh - 2.5m length

100x100mm Profigips Aluminium Corner Bead with Mesh is suitable for internal thin-coat plastering and external thermal insulation systems. The aluminium core provides a definitive straight edge, while the wide mesh wings bridge the joint between the bead and the substrate, distributing mechanical stress and preventing the hairline cracks that can often appear at the edge of standard beads. By combining a rigid aluminium nose with integrated fibreglass mesh wings, this profile offers the best of both worlds: the sharp, impact-resistant edge of metal and the superior crack-prevention properties of a mesh reinforcement system.

CHARACTERISTICS

• The aluminium spine provides a solid, impact-resistant apex, while the fibreglass mesh wings ensure the bead is fully integrated into the base coat of the plaster or render.
• Because the mesh extends significantly beyond the metal wing, it provides a massive surface area for bonding. This effectively knits the corner into the main body of the wall, making it far more resistant to structural movement or thermal expansion.
• Aluminium allows for a much tighter, sharper 90-degree corner than PVC. This is the preferred choice for modern, minimalist interiors where crisp lines around window reveals and door openings are essential.
• Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, the bead is naturally resistant to the alkaline environment of gypsum and thin-coat lime plasters, ensuring a long-lasting, rust-free finish.
• Having the mesh pre-attached to the aluminium spine saves significant time on-site. There is no need to manually apply separate strips of mesh to reinforce the corner, reducing the risk of human error and double-layering thickness.

APPLICATION

• High-Traffic Corridors: Ideal for schools or offices where corners are frequently bumped by equipment or people.
• Window and Door Reveals: Providing a rugged, high-grip edge for the most visible parts of a room.
• Thin-Coat Skimming: Specifically designed for use with 2mm to 3mm gypsum-based finishing plasters.
• Drylining Projects: The standard for internal partitioning where a seamless, durable finish is required.
• Allows straight and even facade edges to be achieved.
