The EXMET GI Control Joint Bead is a galvanized steel plastering profile designed to create controlled joints in rendered and plastered surfaces. It helps manage stress caused by movement, shrinkage, thermal expansion, and contraction, reducing the risk of random cracking across walls and ceilings.
Manufactured from high-quality galvanized steel and hot-dip galvanized after fabrication, this control joint bead provides strong corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance in demanding construction environments. The profile creates a neat and consistent groove line while allowing controlled movement between plaster sections.
Its expanded metal wings improve bonding with plaster and render materials, ensuring secure installation and a professional finish. Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, the EXMET GI Control Joint Bead is ideal for improving the durability and appearance of plaster systems.
