Render edging strips & Window profiles

Product overview

Where is it used?

• UdiREINFORCEMENT render edging strips and Baumit Window Profiles are an exterior edging profile with fibreglass mesh welded to their surface for strength.
• They have a self adhesive strip to form a permanent bond to the surface of the frame and allows up to 2mm movement whilst remaining weather tight.
• The beads should be used where the render meets any door or window frames with our wood fibre systems.
• They can also be used with any other thin layer render systems such as acrylic, silicate, silicone or polymer renders.

How is it used?

• The beads should be installed prior to the main mesh.
• Cut the beads to length and ensure the surface of the frame is clean, dry and free of dust.
• Remove the peel off strip from the bottom of the sponge strip and firmly press in to the corner, with the yellow strip on the window side of the bead.
• It is best to install the side pieces before the top to ensure no water ingress at the joint between the pieces.
• Once in place, remove the yellow peel off strips on the snap off section of the bead and stick on a plastic sheet to protect the window during rendering.
• When applying renders, the base coat should reach the level of the ridged section of the bead and the finish should be level with the edge of the bead. See the above image on the left.
• Once the renders are dry simply remove the snap off section to create a clean edge.
• For more information see our how-to video.

How much will you need?

Each length of UdiREINFORCEMENT render edging strip or Baumit Window profile bead is 2.4m long and pieces should not be joined, so for each side of the frame use a single piece.
