SKU: LIK-115.1525UN
Reviews & Ratings
Proper job. Beats the rusty steel hands down.
No nose design is tidy, cuts dead easy. Sorted.
Best uPVC corner bead I've used. Cuts a treat and the excess fibreglass mesh makes the window stress points rock solid. Perfect, weatherproof finish and great value. Chuffed!
Quality PVC and mesh. Spot on.
brill stuff to use. The uPVC bead is spot on and the mesh gives excellent key for the render base coat—it feels strong. Defo saves time on the 90 degree angles. My only gripe is the length. A 3m option would be better as 2.5m was just short for a full window reveal which is a right faff. Also found the price point a bit steep for only a 2.5m stick, especially as there was a tiny warp on one end. Good product overall though, will use again.
shocking. bead bent by crap packaging then warped immediately. not 2.5m made my render crack.
"No Nose" feature is spot on, saved loads of faffing; mesh was dead easy to embed. Lost a star coz the PVC felt a bit thin for the price point, reckon it xcould be beefier.
dead sound PVC. Took the render perfect. Corner is solid.
proper uPVC. No more feathering!
Amazing! Felt proper strong, unlike the cheap rubbish I used before. Mesh laid dead flat for crisp corners. Saved me chasing hairline cracks.
Quality gear. The mesh didnt fight me, cutting out loads of snagging time. Chuffed.
Cracking bit of kit. Upholds straight lines, no warping. Mesh integrated proper. Not bad at all, worth the money.
Proper straight lines. Driver sound.
dead straight. Cuts easy. Excess mesh held solid. Gives a cracking reveal line round the door frame. Proper kit.
Solid bead, held the line grand for the final render. Mesh keyed in fine, but felt slightly less rigid than I hoped. Delivered straight, which is key. Bit expensive mind.
Brilliant stuff saved me a headache. This uPVC bead is proper solid quality. Used the 2.5m length for my 90-degree angles around a new window install and it was spot on for cutting. It feels substantial and much better than the cheap plastic tat I used previously. It was dead easy to embed. The fibreglass mesh feels well sturdy and actually *grabbed* the basecoat perfectly didn’t have to keep messing about with it. Fitted flush right into the corner—didn't come warped like a lot of other deliveries so that's a major bonus. It's stopped the corner stress points already and given me that razor-sharp line I was aiming for. No signs of those tiny hairline cracks that always appear down the line, so chuffed with that. Good price point considering how decent the materials feel. Delivered exactly when they said, and the driver was sound, gave me a ring beforehand. Highly recommend, buying a second batch next week. No issues whatsoever.
brill stuff. The beading created a crisp angle, and the fibreglass mesh keyed in mint with the mix. Massive upgrade from the usual metal rubbish, stops the staining issue dead. Deducted one star 'cos it was a faff cutting accurately, took longer than I'd hoped. And the PVC felt only decent, could do with being slightly thicker for proper impact zones. Still, sorted the job.
Absolutely top gear, sharp finish.
Sorted the usual cracking problem. Dead easy to install, spot on for a crisp edge reveal. Quality gear, worth the money.
Bang on. Cus clean and sits dead true. Forget metal beads, this doesn't rust.
Angles are mint. Solid gear.
Sorted the corner, coating needs attention.
Brill bit of kit. We default to uPVC now because it means no messing about with rust bleed later on, which this bead guarantees. Used it on the window reveals—it cuts quick and gives you a dead straight line where it matters. Mesh reinforcement took the basecoat well too.
The downside, and it’s the only reason I’ve docked a star: removing the thin protective film or coating on it was a right proper fiddle. Took ages and was an unnecessary time drain on site. Metal beads don't give you that faff.
That said, performance is sound and it fitted up quick once it was ready. Will buy again, but please sort the coating out.
Top quality bit of kit. Easy cut, dead straight, and knowing it wont rust out eventually makes this a proper job. Worth every penny.
This is rock solid. Great finish on the window reveals. Brill.
Decent kit, makes a crisp 90 angle & the excess mesh grabs well. But the length was a bit off, causing hassle on a tighter cut.
Good price. Works. Want 5 pack.
Proper robust uPVC. No warping at all. Sorted that difficult window reveal corner and gave a perfect crisp render line. Deffo buying again!
Proper quality kit. Fibreglass mesh gives a solid key, no faffing about. Dead straight corners first time. Top job.
absolute rubbish. thks pvc bead is proper tat bent easy and it's nowhre near 90 degrees. completely off the square!! wasting my time on the job. useless.
Brill. Swapped from metal, cuts neat and stasy true. Mesh gave the best keying. Solid job done.
Spot on, this uPVC bead made light work of all the external angles and saved a tonne of install time. Way superior to the standard metal beads because the slight flexibility avoids cracking on uneven walls. The mesh qulity is robust and it makes achieving a perfectly perpendicular corner so much easier. Fantastic kit, great price for the long-term value it adds, will absolutely order again.
Proper solid PVC. Not the usual floppy stuff. Brill!
Brill! Top quality bead, this. Much better than that flimsy tin stuff, won rust out and stain the render down the line. Cut dead easy and holds its line well, gives you a proper sharp corner. Definitely buying this specific one again. Well impressed.
Quality kit. Bead sat straight, made applying the render simple for the 90
angle. Mesh is stronger than previous cheap brands. Just lost a star because of slow pick up in the yard. Sorted.
Minted. Went straight in, dead simple. Great quality PVC for the money.
worst bead efer, totally bent/warped. mesh was rubbish & the PVC SNAPPED trying to cut it. Not even NO-NOSE! UNUSABLE!
Proper robust bead, corners look mint. Good key too.
Brilliant bit of kit for the tricky job. The 'No Nose' profile meant I didn't waste time modifying a standard bead for the window reveal—saved me a heap of hassle and it’s bang on for flush rendering. Quality seems solid feels durable enough for the exterior corners. The white is a spot-on match too. Deducted a star as it felt a bit pricey compared to what standard beads go for and honestly the amount of unnecessary packaging waste needs sorting out by EWI. Sound product though.
Spot on. Much better kit than the galvanised muck
wont dent when skiming. It went in dea straight and solved the weak spot cracking issue easily. Proper result.
Best bead I
V'e used all year. Mesh is robust gave me clean lines every angle and installation saved valuable labour time. Sound stuff.
Brill easy to use and stops future cracks. Chuffed with this bead!
This heavy-duty mesh bead is spot on! Needed that 'No-Nose' profile; gave a proper sharp line. Went up dead easy, top value and guarantees no cracking later on.
Great stuff! This bead is proper tough. Held its line perfectly, job's a good un.
Saved loads of tmie. Spot on.
Delivered 2 days late. PVC thin and the stiff mesh frayed easily. It works okay, but too expensive for the hassle.
Bang on. No Nose bead worked a charm super sharp corner solved my recurring crack issue for good. Quick delivery was spot on too.
price felt a bit high for standard uPBC bead, Plastic felt thin lacking rigidity over 2.5m and one length arived warped; Took a pig of an effort to get proper flush finish.
proper solid kit. Won't buckle & the no-nose profile is brill for a seamless render. Mesh keyed in perfect. Skip the old galv.
Proper sharp finish. Great quality mesh bead.
Sick of cracks. This bead is brilliant quality for the price point proper impact resistant PVC. Good sharp finish. Sorted.
Worth every penny! Quality is brill, mesh holds perfect.
No Nose bead gives dead sharp lines. Better quality than competitors; fixed cracking issue on the reveals. Top kit.
Brill kit. Seriously solid uPVC, miles betetr than the stuff I used to get off a competitorthis won't snap when knocked about. The 2.5m length was spot on and it sat completely flush. Easy to cut and the reinforced mesh gave a proper key for the render around the reveals. Saved me chasing a small crack that was starting by the window frame already. Didn't warp a bit while setting neither. Price is dead on for the quality. Ordering was easy oline and it actually turned up early. Switching all my corner bead orders here now, sort'd.
a TOTAL JOKE!!! The plastic was shattered & twisted insicde the flimsy box, complete waste of money. It warped instantly when laid out for an hohur in mild sun. PLUS they were all short (not 2.5m advertised). Called support for two days and got NOWHERE. Dont touvch this rubbish kit.
Brilliant bead, fits the 90-angle perfectly. Good strong PVC.
Straight, decent key, cuts clean. Top gear kit.
Solid stuff. Tough PVC and mesh. Went up straight, brilliant finish. Chuffed.
Spot on No Nose bead for the window reveal. Much better quality uPVC than the cheap sticks; easy to cut and gives a proper clean finish. Worth the extra!
Brill kit. Saved me hours getting proper sharp lines on external reveals. Strong uPVC and mesh. Came quick, perfectly straight runs.
Cracking bit of kit this. Dead sraight, unlike the cheap ones. Sound as a pound.
Superb quality mesh flew on the wet render. No drama to cut made for a real tidy corner. Brill!
Good kit for the price, got a crisp sight line on the render. Came quick, but bead felt a touch flimsy compared to a competitor. Mesh ripped easy.
Sound bit of kit. No-nose profile was bang on for the windows, arris came out razor sharp. Doesn't warp and held the line perfectly. Brill service too.
Finally a bead that works! The rigid PVC mesh gave a sharp 90-degree angle and sits flush. Top quality and worth the money.
Spot on! Made a tricky corner a doddle. Lines are perfectly crisp and clean. Proper stronger than the cheap stuff I used before.
Brill! Got me a proper sharp reveal line. Robust kit but genuinely difficult to cut clean; pricey too, so four stars only.
Good spec high price point
Used the No-Nose profile for all the window/door reveals which sat completely flush when setting it against the insulation board—saves effort when skimming.
The 2.5m length is excellent fewer joins required which boosts efficiency.
Service from the sales assistant before the purchase and the delivery driver helping unload the awkward 2.5m sticks was brill.
Lost a star primarily on quality vs cost. The mesh felt lighter/thinner than the competitor product I usually run with. I also noticed a slight warp on one of the pieces right out of the wrapper and the PVC felt slightly brittle when cutting. For £3.09 ex VAT per length I feel this is priced too high when I know the same 'No Nose' spec is closer to £2.50 from others. Works fine, but QC needs to tighten up if they want to defend that cost.
Dead straight, cut well, made the 90 perfect. Mesh feels strong, miles better than the cheap stuff.
The mesh is heavy duty and the bead gives a perfect, dead straight edge. Brill!
Spot on! Solid material, cuts easy. Corners look mint.
Straight as a dart, cuts good.
Proper sound PVC. Went in quick, mesh bedded perfectly and pulled a sharp 90. Tidy stutff, happy with the quality.
Proper quality bead, didn't cheap out on the PVC. That is key for straightness round a window reveal. Fibreglass mesh held solid too, went straight in the render mix and no sign of warping when wet, which always saves time and headache over trying to straighten rubbish kit. Delivery was spot on, ahead of the estimate which got us out of a pinch. Can't fault EWI, paying the small premium for this quality is well worth it.
Proper job. Mesh and PVC solid. Well pleased.
Dead easy to fix square. Gives a true, sharp line, ideal for flush renders.
Bead's PVC is too thin and flexy. Poor quality rip-off.
Not bad! Mesh reinforcement is sound, cut dead easy. Made the corner straight. Done.
absolute waste of ime and money. Went through the whole checkout to use my saved discount and the dqamn thing didn’t work. Felt completely ripped off especially when I saw I could get the same bead from Skeels for £2.50. Shoddy service/site. Paid WAY too much for basic plastic bedaing.
This mesh is solid. Proper strong kit, won't rust out here.
too soft, cracked when positioning. Corners olok messy.
Brill No Nose bead holds its 90 proper. Hard to source this profile glad I found it. Fiberglass mesh feels sound too definitely an upgrade.
Proper kit for the 900 corners, looks clean. Solid support, but cost felt high. Slight warp in one length easily sorted. Will buy again.
Ace quality. Switched from metal fully now chuffed.
decent quality. Holds angle proper, minimal cracking.
delivery was a total JOKE. miles late with no conms forciny me to waste time waiting onsite. lost half a xdays work because of this bead. find a supplier who respects your time. never again.
Brill quality for the price point. Held its rigidity.
Decent bead really helped give a crisp 90 angle. Just felt lighter than ompetitor stuff I usually buy, but it did the job.
Good robust kit, gave a solid 90 degree corner. Mesh felt secure. Price is steep when you factor in getting the nails/pins yourself. Product's A1 but going elsewhere for a better bundled deal.
Top kit. Mesh is miles better thna the other rubbish. Proper job!
PVC bead gives a great sharp line, mesh adhered a treat. Way better than metal. Came dead quick. Spot on.
Trowel pressure works good. Straight.
Quality bead works good, made those renders sharp. Exceeded expensive ones, wont be buying the costly stuff again.
Solid kit! Superior mesh & robust PVC solved movement cracking. The 90-degree finish was spot on, saving me hours on the trowel. Worth every penny!
Proper clean lines on the 90s. The mesh is solid far better than those rusty metal beads! Good value too.
Proper strong gear. Cuts dead easy and gives a professional crisp angle. Spot on vlaue. Sorted.
Proper rigid uPVC bead. Saved a load of re-work time and the corner is spot on. Brill!
Spot on bead. The no nose feature worked!
Brill! Profile is straight and finished corners look very crisp. Mesh keyed in solid. Felt slightly flimsy initially & one bead had a slight twist, but overall it
’s fit for purpose. Will use again.
Bob on. Quality kit, no bend. Proper sharp reveal angle.
Proper strong. Dead straight edges, better than metal.
Brill kit. The no nose bead gives a seriously crisp line, cuts clean, works good. Defo recommend this stuff.
Brill, solvded the crack issue. Price felt bit high for my big run.
Solid kit gave a nice square edge.
Lays true, mesh sturdy. Great corner support. Will re-order, just get some 3m!
Worth every penny. Sound.
Brilliant corner bezd. Mesh adhesion works good, keeps the 90 degree line solid and straight.
rubbish. the mesh fell off as soon as i touched it
—was trying to bed it in true and it just came apart. felt brittle and cheap too. its costing me a morning sorting this bodge job out. shocking quality control.
Dead true, quality bead for three qiid.
proper crisp 90 deg corner and solid mesh. Def easier to lug than metal, but needed extra skuim to get it sitting tight on the board edge.
Great corner bead. Went in straight set rock solid, brill.
Solid kit. Strong mesh, cuts clean. Makes for a brilliant sharp 90.
Won't buckle. Better than old metal.
Top quality bead. Dead easy to run, no warp!
Structurally slound but a right pig to cut.
Spot On Kit. Robust kit. Mesh keyed in perfect. Will re-order.
Thin pricy. Big faff prep.
Excellent value. The No Nose spec is accurate dead easy to fit. Gives a crisp 90-degree corner, robust mesh stops any future cracks. Sorted.
Finally got the right no-nose bead. Easier than metal, drad straight finish. Brill!
Go-to bead now. Flown straight in, perfect 90 degree reveals. Good value mesh is sound.
Mint bead. Beefy uPVC. Corner lines spot on.
Shoddy quality. Kinked all along the length completely unusable. Brittle, and the sodding mesh started peeling off when I tried to trowel.
Cracking bead, material proper robust. Kept the line dead straight and saved site time. Works good.
Perfect fit straight line
Brill bead. Solid, sharp line, cheap as chips mate.
Solid uPVC. Fits my 2.5m window reveals spot on, cutting was a doddle. Reduced crack risk is a winner.
No nose makes a proper crisp line. Spot on.
Price was fine, but paid for express delivery and it was still a day late, right pig that was. PVC felt too thin and mesh looked sparce, bent near the middle. Had a real job finding correct spec info, just not good enough.
Sound as a pound. No-nose spec works.
rubbish! Could be better! Sound corner.
This uPVC bead went on quick and gives a dead true line. Proper reinforcement without fuss for that corner.
aWFUL. i should have just paid a bit more mate, sales guy gave totally bogus advice and landed me with this cheap ljikov bead. tried to trim for a reveal and it SNZAPPED EASY its such cheap uPVC. the angle isnt 90-degree its warped making it impossible to get a true straight line for the render. mesh looks lfimsy too and peeled off almost straight away. not uv proof either as some qarped after a week in the sun. Complete waste of tkme and effort dont buy ths rubbish.
brill! Felt tougher than other beads I use. Mesh spot on for render grip. Gave me perfect 90 degree lines, no cracks. Good strong PVC. Top value.
Worth every penny for the reliability it offers. Held its shape perfectly for the reveal work, and cheaper than buying generic ones that bend.
Nice sharp reveal, takes the render mix fine. But too much waste from noly offering 2.5m lengths.
Sound kit. Great mesh. Job's sorted. Should have a radius nose, mind.
5 Stars - Essential Beading. Superior Quality.Got these corner beads for a new batch of external reveals and they are spot on. All 2.5m lengths arrived straight—properly protected and didn't have a single warped one, which is key.
The reinforced fibreglass mesh is incredibly robust, you can tell it's not cheap stuff, and it gives a great grab/key for the first coat of render. This feels far superior to the flimsy alloy beads I had last month, no worries about staining the finished render now. Fantastic upgrade over traditional metal beads.
Lighter than expected which made handling them dead easy on site. Cut clean, fitted the angle first time with no messing. The consistency of the profile saved loads of time during installation.
Website description was accurate and delivery team were sound. New go-to supplier for beading. Best price for this quality, too.
Brill. Does the job.
Best mesh coverage, spot on.
The PVC felt proper soft and flimsy. Couldn't keep it straight, maxde the bead line messy. Short on length too.
Brill! Finally fixed that persistent cracking at the window reveal. Proper sturdy uPVC mesh, went on dead easy and delivers sharp, perfect 90 lines. Great value too.
Spot on uPVC bead. Mesh keys render well makes perfect 90s. A doddle to use & better than old metal.
frankly for
£3.71 this is cheap muck. Came crushed so it wasn't a 2.5m usable length. PVC is dead brittle and trying to keep it true on the 90-angle was a proper fight. Got better stuff locally.
No more cracks! Great price!
Decent kit, but a bit pricey.
Spot on straight. My customer was thrilled.
Proper kit. Cut clean, true corner line. Builder rated it.
Turned up quicker than expected and the 2.5m lengths were straight as an arrow, fair play to the courier. The "No Nose" version is exactly what I needed for these shallow window reveals. Really chuffed with the finish—sharp, clean corner line and the fibreglass mesh pressed into the basecoat no bother at all. At this price, it’s a proper bargain for this level of quality and spec. Yes, 3.0m lengths would save time on big elevations, but finding this specific UV mesh / No Nose bead anywhere else isn't happening, believe me, I checked. Great component that saves hassle. Sound job.
Easiest bead to cut cleanly
Dead straight spot on angle.
Proper solid kit, clean angle. Mesh feels sound.
Brill. Doesn't bend like the cheap stuff. Gives a lproper line. Chuffed with this kit.
this bead is absolute RUBBISH! after waiting AGES for delivery they sent 4/5 bent and broken. the pvc was flemz and SPLINTERED when i tried cutting it, total time waste... the esh just detached right off the profile. the "no nose" gave a shocking finish, couldn't hold the line, plus its already YELOWING after 7 dags exposure. avoid this shoddy gear unless you enjoy wasting days patching a skim job. awful!!!
Quality is top tier for the price.
Proper job uPVC bead. Holds sharp corners, zero sag.
Meh. Technically it works but I expected better for the price point. Short of 2.5m and the PVC was less rigid, took some faffing to get a straight line. Long dispatch delay was a pain too.
Top bead, zero cracking. Brill!
top quality bead. That mesh keys in perfect for strength. 2.5m meant no cutting needed. Brill!
top brand uPVC, went in bang on the window reveal. better than metal alternatives
Brill! Top gear PVC, gave a perfect straight line. Easy to fit.
Did a demanding window corner job, brill finish. The 'No Nose' worked perfectly for a clean line, mesh grabs the basecoat great. Bit expensive on delivery, and a length had a warped end, otherwise perfect.
brill. Quick delivery and the rigid uPVC saved us time on the reveals.
Proper solid bead fits the EWI system beautifully. No Nose design sorted out a flush finish round my doors easy. The material feels high quality—seems genuinely UV proof. The driver was sound and the delivery was proper fast, saved me a morning. Will buy all my beading here from now on. Five stars.
Not amazing. The PVC felt brittle and scratches easy, and the profile depth wasnt perfectly consistent on the 2.5m length. This made getting the 90 degree lijne cpean a rewl faff on site. It does the job, but paying neatrly four quid for beading htis stiff feels like too much, esp when the delivery driver causfd a load of hassle rescheduling the drop.
Best bead I've used, zero warp, keying is mint. Driver helped offload too.
Dead straight, saved fitting time. Top kit.
Superior PVC. Finished spot on.
Proper Job – Saves a Load of Time. This bead is quality, made the window reveals dead straight first go. Dead easy fit, saved me a proper load of time onsite. Mesh is solid. Wont use cheaper ones again.
Proper quality stuff. Stays totally straight and no fear of rust stains on the top coat, much better than the metal versions.
wHAT A JOKE. The packaging used for this 'no nose' bead clearly implied the end caps were included! its a TOTAL PALAVER they cant even manage the correct BOXING. I paid a premium price for this substandard rubbish, now im off to the merchants yard just to waste half a day sorting out their quality control failure. DONT BOTHER. appalling service and QC!!
rubbish. this plastic SNAPPED just sitting on site then warped in mild sun. utter JOKE product and short on the run!
Proper straight bead. New go-to now.
No nose corner is proper sturdy kit. Way better than old metal and easy to fit. Sorted a clean, straight 90.
Proper sound stuff. Did the big reveals perfectly, didnt snap. Far superior to the corrosive metal I used last time.
Works good, spot on finish!
Proper gear. No rust faff.
Product quality is just okay for the price paid, feels flimsy compared to other brands profile. Awful! That slight bend in the 2.5m length took extra faffing time just to align the bloody thing straight on the angle, totally not worth the labour hassle. Packaging was poor too, had one end crushed due to tight stacking. Will try elsewhere next time.
this pvc bead is a complete joke! warped into a proper corkscrew and was too short. it crackefd if you lookec at it & the mesh detached right away. payed too much for this tat when skeels is cheaper. total waste of money! Awful.
Brill! This 'No Nose' bead is properly sturdy, came dead straight, and fitted perfectly. Finish is sharp and sorted my usual cracking issues. Will buy again!
Spot on finish, far superior PVC.
not bad. Does the core job but needs a rethink on the mateeial. Mesh seems sound glass fibre looks alright but the PVC is dead brittle to touch felt dreally iffy handling it. Honestly think the advertised 'impact resistance' is a kload of waffle; it's too easy to dent the plastic edge. Prie is too steep for plastic this flimsy.
The aeshtetic finish wasn't perfectly straight either, it ran slightly uneven which is a nightmare on etxernal angles. Also had a minor crack appear near the end when the render was fully setting, not ideal at all. Required trimming too as it was slightly over the stated 2.5m which wastes time. Shame about the plastic quality cause it has potential. Fair play to the driver though he was ound, helped me with the long length out back.
look, i wasted a ful mrning chasing c/s for delivery tracking update on this £3 bead. absolute shambles. time is money. false economy. will go elsewhere.
solid stuff, mate. The high quality mesh works good stopping cracks. No Nose design meant a dead neat feathered edge. Sorted!
Right used these beads for external corner reveals. Quality is way superior to the flimsy ones, this PVC stays true and cuts easily. Keeps a dead crisp 90 which saves loads of hassle finishing up. Delivery tracking was spot on too. Top job.
Brill. Sits true, good quality mesh.
Needed 'No Nose', got it quick. Solid bead, good key. Just think the mesh shood be heavier. Decent value.
Used these on the windows needing that proper No Nose detail. Price was spot on (checked against T Dex they charge a few quid more). It's a proper solid bead felt robust, not flimsy junk that bends in transit. Lads said it saved them fiddling about because it came off the shelf perfectly straight. Gave us a razor sharp edge and the fibreglas mesh embedded nice and quick. Top quality kit, brilliant value for money too. Five stars.
Glad I found this online, no more galvanised gamble! Solid uPVC and the fibreglass mesh grips tight. Gives you proper sharp corners that won't crack. Job's a good un.
Good gear! The quality uPVC and reinforcement mesh works good. Easy to embed & corners look proper sharp. Unbeatable value at this price point, a total bargain!
No-nose gave a dead sharp line. Mesh quality good, stops stress cracks. Worth the money. Just tricky to cut clean + had to trim 10cm warp off the end.
Brill bit of kit, straight as a die, saved me loads of time.
Honestly, miles better than the thin plastic rubbish I was using before. Got fed up of 2.5m lengths arriving bowed—but every one of these was straight and true, spot on for the window reveal. The uPVC and that glass mesh feels proper strong, gives a lovely crisp 90-degree corner.
It slips in a treat and beds down quick, the mesh integrates flawless with the basecoat. Decent money for the quality. Won't be back patching cracks next winter. I'm purchasing this specific type again. Top notch, easy job.
This is cheap gear masqureading as professional kit. It's brittle PVC snapped instantly when sedcured. Mesh started unraveling so much for "reinforced." Plus, the bead wasn't 2.5m, seriously? Came in a bent box days late, typical poor service that pushes back my schedule. Couldn't sit flush. Total wste of £3.71.
needed the No Nose. Brill.
Rubbish. Thin PVC warped on site and it wasn't even 2.5m. Paying £3 for budget gear when BBA beads cost the same.
Sturdy bead that functions fine in the mortar mix. A bit pricey though and the description needed the exact depth stated. Did the job on the reveal.
did the job perfectly, mind you they were short a few cms.
Works good. Eacsy to install and gives a crisp defined corner line. Value is sound for this kit.
This bead is spot on. Stronger than the metal types, holds the line true. Their staff sorted me out, avoided buying the wrong gear. Proper job!
Top quality! Sturdier than the old kit. Sorted the high-stress window reveals, gave a sharp line and no cracks.
Mesh reinforcement is strong, performs well on 90s. Decent price, but it's proper fiddly to cut cleanly when trimming lengths.
Proper quality bead sits true on the 90. Mesh is seriously strong. Got us a super crisp finish easy.
Proper bead, gholds a true line. Bit slow to pin compared to galvanized, but worth it.
Proper gear. The finish is spot on for the price.
Proper Bit Of Kit. This No-Nose fit was spot on. Worth the slight premium; that nasty cracking definitely won't be happening later.
Proper kit didn't bow at all. Got a mint finish.
Brill quality. Stays dead straight and better than the cheap muck I used before. Proper job.
Superb value. Made a perfect 90. Brill!
Dead true corners. Got a proper clean external finish on the window reveals and the fibreglass mesh gave a sound key for the basecoat—significantly reduced my crack concerns. It’s definitely reliable, robust kit and cuts easy enough, which saves hassle. Dropped the star because the prce felt slightly high, especially as I spotted what looked like a cheaper alt nearby after ordering. Would still recommend, but reckon the value could be a tad better.
late delivery, crushed ends. Mesh kewps snagging, bit soft honestly.
Sound kit, proper job. Used on the reveals, they cut clean. Corner stayed true, saved a bit of site time. Only issue: nose-less design made the finish challenging, needed extra skim. Competitive value though.
Superior to cheaper plastic!
Top quality bead, holds its line perfectly. Flawless finish. Worth every penny. Sorted.
The 2.5m length was spot on. Got a nice sharp corner, the mesh holds it solid. Much better than budget kit I used.
Right palaver just finding this plastic angle piece couldnt find it for love nor money having to type in different phrases every two seconds. SORT YOUR SEARCH OUT. Spent 20 mins searching only to get some flimsy tat. The bead snapped too easy when i cut it and it feels cheap the mesh started shedding. Waste of time and effort for such rubbish pvc.
Brill bead! Didn't twist when floating the base coat. Right sturdy uPVC quality resolved that recurring cracking problem. Love the crisp 90 degrees. Tidy kit for the price.
this bead is rubbish. packaging was pathetic so it turned up bent to buggery. but the main issue is the angle isnt even 90 deg properly impossible to line up plumb! flimsy mesh just tore off when i started to trowel up. wasted hours messing about with this instead of buying proper gear like renderplas for the same money. complete faff.
Perfect corner. Worth every penny.
alright, but a few faffy bits—check your measurements. Bought 10 of these for a full house render job. The beads function fine, they hold the 90 degree and the no-nose profile is adequate for a cleaner edge, but I expected better quality control for the price. Biggest gripe: the linear meterage isn't bang on 2.5m. Lost a few millimeters on every single one, which is a massive pain when trying to plan full runs without joins. The PVC itself also feels a bit lightweight, maybe too flexible for a proper thick coat of heavy render—my last brand felt much more rigid. Installation was slightly fiddly, too. The fibreglass mesh seems too thin compared to the competitors and actually separated from the plastic strip on one of them just while handling it on the scaffold. The mesh wings also caught in the first pass when bedding them in. Delivery process was shocking: damaged packaging, and the driver just dumped the box out in the rain despite my note. Waited three days for a simple email reply from support on the required render coat thickness. It'll do the job and function as a bead (which is 'Brill!' for the basics), but all the small issues and the slightly-off advertised length push it right into the 'average' category. Next time, I'll go back to my previous supplier, mind. It just added unnecessary faffing time to the job.
Top Bit of Kit. The lad told me to use these specific beads for the window reveals and honestly I was sceptical about paying a bit more (felt pricey compared to others). But these absolutely smashed the expectation he set for them, and that's saying something. The PVC felt proper dense, not thin and brittle like the dodgy ones. They cut dead clean on the mitre block—no shattering the plastic or snagging the mesh, which is the main time killer normally. Mesh coverage is bang on too; embedded right into the base coat instantly. Gave us a dead crisp 900 corner and saved a good ten minutes per reveal just getting that line locked down. Rock solid stuff, I know why he insisted now. Will be grabbing these as my standard. Proper job. Sorted.
Good quality mesh, sits square, proper chuffed.
great quality. Good value and it doesn't twist.
The PVC extrusion is too thin, ebad elt overly light and wasn't perfectly straight out the box so installatuon was fiddly on the render reveal corner. Expected better rigidity for this price point, support was slow, and it needs fixing adhesive that wasn't included or detailed clearly. It's doing the job, but only just barely.
Proper Job, Absolutely Sound Bead. Slotted right into the basecoat with no messing about, went in straight and stayed there. That’s always the worry with beads. This uPVC is decent quality, felt better in the hand than the last lot I had. The lengths were spot on 2.5m which is always helpful, and the sharp 90-degree edge made the finish on the window reveal look cracking. Easy to cut too. The mesh overlap was thick and proper reinforced – good for avoiding cracks, seems much more UV and impact proof so should last ages without trouble. Arrived when they said it would. Excellent value compared to the local builders merchant prices, worth getting the exact 'No Nose' profile off the site as it's exactly what I needed. Will be using these again for all my rendering work. Sorted.
PVC was dead straight saved proper time. Scrim keyed in brilliant, solved htat weak spot. Rock solid! Proper job.
Sits dead true. Proper job. Mint finish.
decent kit for the price. The excess mesh worked a treat, really keyed the render in well, no dramas. Only drawback is the PVC felt a touch flexible when running the long 2.5m line. Sound performer though.
Spot on No Nose bead. Mesh is really solid, made that 90-degree flawless.
Great price. It's the proper stuff and fits perfectly.
it came dead straight! Saved me houra faffing. Amazing.
Brill kit. Stops cracking, better than metal bead.
Best bead I've used. No nose gave a dead straight flush finish on the reveal and sorted that annoying cracking issue. Proper job for the price! Delivery was sound.
Good bead mesh takes the scratch coat brilliant. Cut to size dead easy. Only dropped a star cos the PVC is just too flexible when setting out a run. Took more time than it should've to keep it absolutely true for the float finish. But it's cheap so it's fine. Will order again. Shipping cost could be lower, mind.
fibreglass mesh embedded securely in the basecoat. The uPVC arrived straight, gave a cracking 90 line. No more metal grief!
Proper rubbish! Too flimsy and thin bent straight out of the box. Wasn't even 2.5m. Go buy Renderplas instead.
This is cracking stuff. The mesh is solid, gives a crisp 90-degree edge every time. No more cheap warping! Sorted.
Decent fit for the 2.5m reveal. That impact resistance mesh gives good peace of mind. Sorted.
Rubbish. Arrived bent as the packaging for the 2.5m was poor. The bed is too flexible when settihg up—cannot get a perfcet, straight visual line. Quality control is shocking. Total faff and time wasted. Should have bought metal.
Bit high on price but slots in right. Stopped the cracking.
shocking RUBBISH. The tape sliced right thru the uPVC on multiple beads mate making them uesless—absolute joke of packaging! This stuff is so brittle it snapped cutting the window reveal bead even with sharp snips, wasting materials and xcausing serious faff on site. It warped straight out the box and the gibreglass mesh adhesion is non-existent. Cost-to-quality ratio is shockingly bad, not to mentkion waiting all day for delivery and customer service was completely condescending qwhen I tried to track it. Never again, sort it out EWI!
Cracking bit of kit. Robust PVC that holds square perfectly. Best bead on the run.
quality product. Mesh keyed in nicely, corner is spot on. Saved loads of time because its the right length and profile, worth the money, works good.
Brill. Built to last and cut and fit great.
Brill kit. Straight lines, job's a good un.
Spot on value for this. Applied easy enough and it held the difficult obtuse angles well, giving the necessary reinforcement under the render layers. Only niggle is I was expecting the PVC to be slightly more rigid; needed a bit of attention when first bedding the bead, but that's a small price to pay for the outcome.
Brill gear, properly stiff line. Could be better value due to high post.
Brill! No-Nose bead seated proper on the 90 degree. Easy cut and mesh embeds fast in basecoat. Top quality 2.5m length for excellent value. Trut the brand.
Top quality component! Much stronger than metal, sits perfectly plumb for sharp 90s.
This is the stuff. Made corners rapid!
struggled with this bead all afternoon. Kept springing away from the corner; far too flexible to set true without fighting it. Ended up having to pin it just to get it straight. The mesh tore almost immediately and its definitely not impact resistant
took a knock and dented deep. Worse it started staining my fresh render after one shower. Absolute rubbish material, feels like paying
3 for an inferior bodge job. Waste of time, mate.
Solid reinforcement/good mesh adhesion. But one 2.5m stick was slightly warped, costing time; needed a proper tamp down to maintain a straight 90.
Proper robust uPVC bead. Arrived fast zero kinks, saved site time. Mesh keys perfect. Dead straight lines. Will order again.
Came quick, perfect straight kit.
top quality. Clean 90s, cuts good. Perfect EWI finish.
awful. Gutted I paid £3.09 for these sticks. Absolute daylight robbery cos Skeels is doing the exact same 'No Nose' bead for £2.50 ex VAT. One was proper bent too, which was a right pig to fettle on site. Wasted a good 30 minutes wrestling a bent bit of uPVC. The quality is naff for that price point. Just get 'em cheaper elsewhere. Rubbish value.
Brill. Gives a CRISP reveal line. Quality is solid won't twist like cheaper junk, worth the price.
Sorted out the reveals with this bead. Great stuff! It’s proper sturdy PVC and it’s the exact 'No Nose' profile I was lookin' for. The excess mesh keys the base coat brilliant, saves loads of time gettin' that corner sharp. Cheaper ones just aren't as robust. Driver was sound too, placed the long sticks dead where I needed them. Proper job, 5 stars.
Proper rigid uPVC. Keeps those corner lines crisp.
The 2.5m length was bang on for the corner work. Nice clean sharp lines.
Got the stress crack round the window fixed. This reinforced bead is miles better than the mesh-free rubbish, and top value compared to the pricey big names. PVC is solid and mesh cuts perfect. Will use this one every time now. Brill!
Super quality uPVC bead. 2.5m length was dead straight and plumb. Great sharp No Nose finish! Brill.
the packging was a JOKE! Three lengths bent like coat hangers completely useless!! Now my job is held up. Worst service and total WSTE of money!!!
Glad I got these skipped the cheap stuff. Even the fussy plasterer said they felt quality kept their line perfectly when laid in. Works good saves us time.
Beads did the job but they're flimsy and the edges where the plastic meets the mesh were rough. It aint worth £3.71, better off finding true 90-degree ones.
Worth every penny, better than metal alternatives. Won't rust. Brill!
TROWEL TAP CHIPPED IT INSTANTLY. overpriced RUBBISH mate
Solid bead, little bit pricey.
"No Nose" profile was spot on for the reveal but tough to cut clean.
Quality tops the cheap stuff.
solid uPVC bead. Much more substantial than cheaper kit perfect for the 90 degree render profile. It was slightly pricey for a 'no-nose', and the late delivery was a real snag on site.
Dead straight bead. Proper easy set, gave perfect 90s. Mesh felt substantial. Driver was sound, dropped it where I asked. Bang on kit.
Brill. No nose fit perfect. This bead is solid, taking a good whack by the door an no chips. Delivery earlier than they said, brilliant.
Perfect fit and finish for the EWI reveals. Mesh feels sound, got me a sharp, crack-free corner. New reliable go-to bead.
Fitted spot on solid bead.
Proper good PVC, solid feel. Fit was dead on and gave us super sharp corners. Sorted.
Top quality bead for the price. Zero warping left a dead crisp corner.
Did the job nothing amazing. PVC is thin & dead brittle in hand. It was 2cm short of the 2.5m frustrating on a critical reveal. Sticky packaging residue everywhere. Price is too high for this low gauge plastic had to sand the inner edge for skimming.
This uPVC corner bead felt proper solid. Didn't bend when pressing it. Holds a sharp, clean finish on the corner reveal. Sound!
Brill! Set dead easy, line is mint.
Cracking sorted. Proper job corners crisp. Good value, top service.
Proper job bead. Solved corner crackong. Top quality, sorted.
strong angle bead, though flexible. Needs way more basecoat adh.
No-Nose feature espot on. Crisp 90s.
HAVE A DAY OFF! are you having a laugh? got this survey before i'd evn checked the stock. Don't be so desperate! absolute load of rubbish.
This bead is bob on. Really strong plastic & finished up dead straight. Sorted.
Great gear. Stronger than the metal types & that No-Nose bit saves an hour easy. Sorted.
Good value, held the 90 corner solid. Was a faff getting it true in the base.
Proper Job uPVC Bead. Gave a seriously sharp finish on the 90s. Extrusion is solid, less brittle than bog standard kit. Proper job & great value!
Proper quality bead. The mesh and true 90 degree corners are spot on, saved loads of time. Went on a doddle, felt instantly solid. Will buy these again. Great value.
ahbsolute joke. uv resistant is a total lie. this thin hceap pvc waped like a boomerang on the south elevation after two hours of sun. it was completely bowed and out of true. rukined the basecoat and now i have to redo the whole bloody reveal. costs me more labour than it saves. rubbish. awful.
No messing about, stayed straight. Quality uPVC kit. Brill!
proper 'No Nose' bead. Much better quality mesh and dead straight finish than old metal. It is pricy for big jobs though, and a 3m option would cut the joint faff right down.
No Nose bead went on spot on. Holds rigid in the basecoat resulting in clean, strong lines. Great stuff!
A bit flimsy felt too light for the price. Had to trim too much mesh off mate, was slow going.
Spot on No Nose fit. Holds a perfect line, decent mesh.
Solid enough. Better than the last lot I blought. Beds into the base coat nicely. Knocked a point off because one was slightly warped and required faffing.
This is solid kit. No nose detail needed and it worked bang on. Corners are dead straight, strong fibreglass mesh will hold up for years. Chuffed.
No Nose profile is spot on for a sharp 90-degree external corner, exactly what's needed for the render. Would be five stars but the length was consistently just shy of 2.5m, makign the final run a nightmare.
Quick delivery! PVC is not brittle, held its rigidity brilliantly. Proper sharp corner for the reveal. Trust this to stop cracks. Brill!
Bead performs okay, but the PVC felt lighter than premium. Collection was a proper faff, lost time driving to the depot.
glad I found the No-Nose version works good. Mesh is sound, really grabbed the render and gave me a wicked sharp edge quick. Saved loads of time.
Spot on. Finally, a bead that doesn't give you grief. Seriously, this Likov bead from EWI is spot on. My contractor even commented on the quality when we were setting it out said it was a 'proper job' compared to some other stuff he’s seen coming through. The best bit? That 2.5m length felt right for the window reveals; zero messing about cutting back waste like you do with the usual 2.4m bits floating about. The fibreglass mesh feels proper tough, too; it pulled into the scratch coat dead straight, and that bit of extra durability means I'm not sweating about cracking come winter. Held the line perfectly. Made getting that 90-degree reveal crisp simple. Well worth the money when you factor in the time it saves chasing cracks later on. Great stuff, brill.
Great quality bead. Fitted spot on, solid mesh. Gives a cracking finish.
Proper solid uPVC and mesh. No-nose makes the finish sharp. Service pickup was a bit slow.
Decent quality bead, but you pay for it. It does what it should. Squares up the 90° reveals properly, and the fibreglass mesh feels stiff enough for the basecoat to key in strong. It extbolds solid kit, no arguing about the performance or the No Nose profile. But let extbolds be straight extmdash the price is a touch high for a basic length of PVC trim. I know others selling similar kit for a few pence cheaper a stick. When you're running twenty lengths, that adds up quick. Quality is spot on, just needs a sharper unit rate, EWI.
Keys straight into the scratch coat, happy with the compatibility and the finish. Price felt decent too. It felt slightly thinner gauge PVC than my usual brand, which wasn't ideal for rigidity, but once it's set it's a good robust corner. Courier delay was the other let down.
Decent kit. Fits perfect and it solved my persistent cracking issue.
Best bead used yet. The no-nose finish is effortless. Dependable, quality PVC. Highly effective!
Proper job. Sound, robust beading that cut clean and gave a noticeably stronger corner than the old flimsy metal rubbish. Soted.
Needed a proper straight bead this one works sound. Mesh bonded spot on worth paying slightly more than the dodgy alternatives. Fast delivery.
Super solid! Looks sharp.
cuts clean, holds straight. Contracor loved the no nose profile finish.
Good kit, cuts clean and holds straight. The fibreglass reinforcement actually did its job, saved us stressing over future crack repairs. Superb.
Spot on bead. Mesh is sturdy, much better than the flimsy ones. Gives perfectly sharp, clean 90s, especially for the thin-coat render. Quality kit, good price.
Top quality bead. Perfect fit gives a clean 90. Job sorted long-term. Brill.
No nose means sharp lines!
Spot on kit felt quality unlike the cheaper rubbish. Cut clean and locked into the corner fast. Brilliant performance.
Superior mesh. Cuts easy, takes render proper nice. Gave a perfect sharp 90 and the quality is spot on for the price. Brill!
Bob on this stuff's solid!!
Held its line dead straight. Mesh stuck well on basecoat. Better than old steel options, no worries about rust. Top stuff, proper job.
Dead easy to work with. Proper strong mesh, cuts cleanly. Made the corner a true 90 first time. Sorted my render job.
Good functional bead, perfect corner reinforcement. Only knock is it's a bit too flexible and those sharp ends are a total faff. Really need that 3.0m option too.
Proper bit of kit. No Nose spot on. Job's a goo un.
No nose bead was spot on. Didnt bend at all.
Excellent bead! Did not bow like cheaper brands. Saved time good strong material reduces future damage risk massively. A snip.
solid uPVC. Decent finish.
This bead takes a proper knock and stays straight. Good kit.
Bea keys well, true angle. Solid value but that extra mesh made installation a proper faff.
Proper sound bit of kit. Dead straight, sound mesh keying. Saves snagging effort. Shame edge wasn't absolute crisp.
This bead's uPVC is proper strong, the mesh grips well. Held the line perfectly for a cracking straight edge. Mint.
This corner bead is great structural kit. Got a dead straight line round the window. Strong fibreglass mesh and it performs. Dropping a star as the mesh wings felt too narrow. Made keying the basecoat over that edge a bit of a faff.
Nailed it! 2.5m length was perfect, saved cutting time. The solid uPVC quality and reinforced mesh beat the cheaper muck easily. Clean 90 finish.
Stiff mesh grabs the basecoat good. Stops cracks and keeps the line straight. Ace value.
Works good. Nice sharp corner.
Spot on gear. Mesh grabbed proper nice into the basecoat line kept perfectly straight. Saved me faff later.
proper tough uPVC, the mesh is great. Bit of a faff to line up dead straiht tho cos of no nose profile.
awful! £3.09 for bead thwt felt flimsy and cracked instant I tried to cut it. Utter tripe. Warped as hell so couldnt get a straight run, total joke. driver just dumped the long sticks at the neighbours gate. Wot touch this chezap muck again.
Top quality kit, accurate 2.5m meant no messing about. Got a perfectly clean 90 line on the window reveals. Good value, proper job.
Corner bead installed quick on the reveal, the mesh holds strong for the basecoat and the line works rgeat, saving loads of time. Superb!
No nose bead, bob on! Great line and easy to cut. Cheers EWI!
Proper Job - Miles Better Than Metal: Chuffed with this kit. Needed a decent corner bead to sort the perennial cracking around a window reveal and this did the job. The uPVC is robust but still cut a doddle and it went on dead straight – no warping like the old stuff. That substantial mesh means it bonded spot on with the basecoat and seems solid as a rock now. Plus delivery was quick and perfectly packaged. Excellent quality definitely recommend to anyone doing render work. Sorted.
Solid kit, beats the cheap stuff!
Spot on corner bead! Easy cut, proper robust fibreglass mesh and made the line dead square. Will keep that reveal crack-free for years. Good stuff.
Solid bead keeps the 90 bang on. Mesh made bedding a proper mess.
Brill! Made the corners crisp.
Proper strong beading, good value.
Brill! Strong enough, good price. Mesh needs improving a bit.
Beads were dead straight. Quality's worth the extra quod. Sorted!
Used these 'No Nose' beads on the reveals. Proper sharp finih. Easy keying with the mesh, job done. One had a minor scuff mark due to handling, so only 4 stars. Still happy with the bead.
Needs massive trimming, too much flapping fibreglass on site. Ok besds but too much faff.
Great stuff! Finally a decent 'no nose' bead that makes a sharp line easy. Spot on.
Quality is good. No-nose bead worked perfectly.
Cracking bit of kit. No-nose feature is spot on gives a brilliant clean 90-degree finish. Proper strong uPVC and mesh. Saved me serious time!
No nose is proper job. Sorted.
Proper faff to install. Kept flexing and the mesh snagged loasds. Got sent the wrong nos too. Just okay.
Sits flush and bonded strong right into the base coat. Way better than metal rubbish.
Amazing! Got rid of all the stress points near the windows. Beddinvg it in was dead easy. This quality justifies the price!
Awful. Matd, paying £3.71 for this cheap tat is a joke. It was warped out the pack and bpowed under the wet base coat. Dodgy brittle plastic that chips easily and the mesh frayed badly. Total fatf trying to get it straight. Poor value.
Brill corner beading proper time-saver for reveals. Shame some pieces were just short of the 2.5m mark.
The 2.5m length was spot on. Easy fit.
Proper job. Robust uPVC built to last years.
Great bead but 2.5m length caused wasted offcuts.
Good value, edge finish tricky.
Top notch! Switching suppliers.
Awful. Wonky PVC is not 90 degrees and it warped with one skim coat. Zero durabliity. Contractor said it bereaks regulations.
Exact profile I needed. Held shape and gave a super sharp corner. Worth paying for.
