Metal corner beading showing through cement render

Question

I've just had the render replaced on the front bay of my victorian house and the metal corner beading is still showing through, is the right?  The builder is telling me it's ok but I'm not convinced.  Would really appreciate some advice, thanks!

Yes the mesh on the corner bead gets covered with cement render the metal edge stays to ensure a straight line will not see once painted

David · Answer

You will see some off the bead on the corner as you work up two it. You shouldn’t see it on the sides at all tho

Callum · Answer

Depending if it is sand and cement render. With sand and cement render the bead can either be on show or covered as you'll most likely paint over to cover the bead. Ideally it should be covered incase of rust.

The stiff corner part of the bead is  a guide to what the sand and cement   goes up to .it will show untill it is painted  .if it stick out 2  to 5 mill more than the render then they have not put on enough render ,butt if its just the edge of the bead  as i said before then its ok .hope this helps

On a lot renders houses metal render beads should show on the render it shows that it had the right thickness and that it was applied proper and shows it’s straight and plumb

Hi if there is a thin line of metal just showing on the corner only then this is normal and will paint over mjs builders kent

Clint · Answer

Hi there the only part of the render bead u should see is the straight edge.that defines your corners to make them straight. if u can see the mesh on the bead then it's not been filled out enough with the render .
