Metal Lath, Plaster Reinforcement & Corner/Casing Beads

This is the standard accessory for providing exterior corner protection and providing a reliably straight ground for screeding.

The 3″ expanded mesh wings are easily flexed to adapt to framing irregularities and to match appropriate screed heights.

• Furnished in galvanized steel and zinc (99% pure) alloy.

X-1 and X-2 Corner Beads for outside corners have a smooth round nose bead with Diamond Mesh wings for the keying of plaster right up to the nose of the bead.

This mesh insures a perfect bond and provides effective reinforcement where most needed. Especially recommended in fireproofing columns and beams. Rigid straight edge nose is easy to install and permits plumb straight outside corners. Excellent protection for corridor corners exposed to traffic.

X-1 Corner Bead is manufactured with a 3-inch flange and is available in both galvanized steel and zinc. Sections can be joined or spliced together by inserting a finishing nail or a piece of hangar wire.

X-1 Corner Bead is used to reinforce and protect outside corners. Creates a straight clean edge and protects the edge from damage due to bumping.

Casing bead is used as a plaster stop, screed ground, as exposed trim around doors and windows, and as a base screed.

• Available in galvanized steel and zinc alloy.

• The expanded flange width is 3 inches.

Designed to provide for movement to accommodate expansion and contraction caused by initial stucco shrinkage and minor thermal movement.
