Opaque and transparent render beads tests

Renderplas, the originators of UK manufactured PVCu beads, have conducted tests to evaluate whether semi-clear beads can compliment through-colour renders.

Opaque and Transparent render beads: All that they're cracked up to be?.

Renderplas, the originators of UK manufactured PVCu beads, have conducted tests over the past year to evaluate whether semi-clear beads can compliment through-colour renders.

Our conclusions were negative.

Not only was colour refraction poor, but more worryingly, they can shatter when cut, wasting time and money and raising Health and Safety concerns.

At Renderplas, we are 100% focused on PVCu beads, as this is our sole activity.

We are therefore dedicated to thorough research and testing and new products are only launched onto the market after exhaustive field trials.

As PVCu beads have become the first choice for external rendering, watch out for major news from Renderplas in the coming months.
