The Surface-Mounted “J” Bead provides a fast, professional way to finish and protect the exposed edge of sheathing board without the need for back wrapping. Designed with a wide 1-1/2″ flange, this exterior-grade PVC bead creates clean, straight edges while protecting vulnerable board terminations. Bonding grooves and perforations provide a secure mechanical bond with the base coat and sheathing. At the same time, the built-in stop helps maintain a consistent finish thickness for a professional appearance every time.
Ideal for stucco, EIFS, and DEFS applications, the Surface-Mounted “J” Bead simplifies installation, reduces labor, and delivers a durable, rustproof finish that withstands harsh weather conditions. Unlike metal trim, it will not rust, corrode, or stain the finished exterior.
