Description
PVC-U shadow gap architrave beads provide a shadow gap between the wall and ceilings, skirting boards and door frames. This can provide a floating effect for walls and can remove the need for skirting board.
Features and benefits:
- Manufactured from recycled, exterior grade, impact resistant, UV stable PVC-U, providing a cost effective alternative to steel beads.
- Not affected by severe weather conditions, and can be specified in areas of high moisture or high salt such as kitchens, bathrooms and pool enclosures.
- They should always be used within 5 km of the coast.
- Will not stain or rust during lengthy drying out processes, which is especially common in inclement seasons and locations.
- Does not pose any threat to safety, either after a heavy impact or if pulled out of the wall - no sharp edges.
- Provides clean, straight edges.
- Safe to handle and install.
- Fast and easy to cut to length with tin snips or a fine toothed hacksaw, and is safer to handle than cut metal.
- Can be left un-painted.
- Supplied in 3 m lengths depending on the profile.
- Fit for purpose for at least 25 years.
Performance/ Approvals:
- Complies with BS EN 13914-2: 2016.
