Beads & Metal Studding

Metal studding and beads are essential components for creating clean, durable finishes on internal walls and ceilings. These galvanised steel products form the framework for partition walls and protect vulnerable plaster edges from damage, ensuring your plastering work stands the test of time. Whether you're building stud walls in a new extension or reinforcing corners in a busy commercial space, the right metal studding and beads deliver structural integrity and professional results.

Our Metal Studding & Beads Range

We stock a comprehensive selection of galvanised steel profiles and edge protection to suit every plastering application.

  • Galvanised angle beads - Eurometals galvanised steel angle beads in 2.40m and 2.70m lengths for reinforcing and defining external plaster corners on rendered and plastered walls, protecting vulnerable edges from impact damage.
  • Thin coat angle beads - galvanised steel thin coat angle beads with a 3mm flange in 2.4m and 3m lengths, designed for use with plasterboard and smooth backgrounds to produce a clean, sharp corner profile while minimising cracking at plasterboard joints.
  • PVC angle and corner beads - one-coat PVC corner beads (10-12mm, 2.5m) for plastered and rendered corners where a true, sharp finish is required, along with PVC-coated nose angle beads in 3m lengths offering additional edge protection on vulnerable corners.
  • Galvanised stop beads - galvanised steel stop beads in 10mm and 2.4m lengths providing clean, neat termination edges to plasterwork at openings and abutments with other wall or ceiling surfaces, leaving a clean and professional finish.
  • PVC stop beads - white PVC thin coat stop beads in 10mm and 15mm widths, 2.5m lengths, for protecting and finishing plaster and render edges at doors, windows, and surface transitions, with a coating depth range of 15-17mm.
  • Mini mesh - Eurometals galvanised steel mini mesh in 2.40m, 2.70m, and 3m lengths for reinforcing joints, cracks, and weak points in plasterwork and render, preventing cracking across surface breaks and junctions.
  • PVC screed expansion strips - 5m PVC expansion strips for accommodating movement in floor screeds, preventing cracking at bay joints and perimeter edges in large screed areas.

For a complete plastering system, browse our full range of Plastering Materials including Plasterboard to pair with your framework.

Selecting the correct bead profile depends on your plaster thickness, the location of the edge, and the level of impact resistance required. External corners in high-traffic areas benefit from heavier gauge beads, while thin coat systems need compatible lightweight profiles for proper adhesion.
