Plastic exterior Beads.

[Hermus]

Morning all,
we are having the front of our bungalow re rendered.
The plasterer wants to use beads that are not metal in the corners, is this good idea?
I noticed from the old render corners at back of the bungalow that the metal beads are showing through and rust showing.
Plastic type beads ok?
Thanks for answers.

Nowt wrong with plastic only other alternative is stainless steel don't really make much odds tbf! I was dubious about plastic when they first came out thinking how well would s&c adhere and would there be problems down the line but not ever had issues.

You shouldn’t buy them from Wickes all their beads are inferior
