The Lap Siding Step Bead is designed to simulate the appearance of rigid cementitious siding with stucco alone, providing the clean, defined lines of cement board siding without the need for additional materials. This helps reduce installation time and labor costs while still achieving a professional siding look. The bead features double grounds for consistent stucco thickness, a screed between adjoining stucco bands to create crisp separation lines, and striated flanges that enhance stucco bonding, ensuring a strong, durable finish.
Trim-tex recommends following industry-standard installation methods. All butt joints, intersections, and ends should be caulked with elastomeric sealant during installation. When painting Trim-tex products, please contact us for more information on painting resources to ensure proper performance and prevent product defects such as warping, oil cracking, and buckling.
