priced up a job today new extension. the guy wants shadow gap beads round all doors and skirting levels. not used these before do they go on the sheets then sheets screwed on ? any pointers appreciated
 
Board beads we call em,that may not be the tech term.If they are the ones Your talking about then they slot on the edge of the board and as you say screw the board and it will trap it and then the skim fixes this side.
 
Just done aload on big house. Many types so make sure u get right ones. You can get floating or drywall ones.
i would board first. then stick beads day before skim. I pinned a few on dot dab walls and they kept pinging out.

G and h supplies is where got mine. Good prices

No thats not them. Your ones just cover the edge of.the board.
these ones create a recess between the plaster and the door frame.
 
we plastered a hospital using shadow beads, the nhs would not accept them as they are a dust trap, they had the lot filled in on daywork.
 
We used shadow gap beads on a house a while ago. It was specced for along the bottoms as no skirting was going on and the floor hadn't even been laid yet. The floorer was moaning like hell that they were out by a few mill.. The builder who we were working for set timbers on the wall to set out boards on then we fitted the beads after. He spent ages with a laser level as well. We told the floorer to fûck off.. Said he should have set the timbers for us to work off. Couldn't lay the floor till after as it was going to overlap the bottom of the shadow gap beads. Customer was a pain in the arśe as well.

I did a job on the sea front all shadow float beads for 100 mm upstand. Round door linings we got chippy to rebate so they spotted in nicely.Lazard the rest looks mustard, we charged a linear meter price
