internal beads

[lazer]

just got the specs for a council grant job they want internal beads on the walls is this normal practice or are they just being picky i usually just tape the corners

Never heard of the likes before.

Is it block or board and are you sure there not just expansion joints

 

[lazer]

it saysflexible joints/ internal beads at junction of masonry and stud partition

that is the spec. thats what they are paying for.

 

[beader]

Think someones got confused .Ask them to explain what they want again.

 

[spunky]

They want an expansion joint where board meets block a bit Ott but that's architects

 

[beader]

Oh . Never heard of that before. Thanks.

we have used the corner movement beads when both walls that are to be floated meet.
when a block wall meets a plasterboard wall we fixed a stop bead a few mm away from the board wall filling the gap with mastic

 

[spunky]

Oh . Never heard of that before. Thanks.

we've had to do it where thermalite block meets concrete block only the once though, never done it with board and block

As Malc said gets specced quite a bit between solid work and timber stud.
