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 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.
• 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 3m lengths.
• Fit for purpose for at least 25 years.

Performance/ Approvals:

• Complies with BS EN 13914-2: 2016.
• Fire tested to BS 476 (Class 1Y) and will not contribute to the combustion of the system.
• Part L compliant.
• Complies with REACH.
