Plastic Components’ surface-mounted “L” bead for DEFS is to be used at windows, doors, or any termination point. The extra-wide surface flange allows you to adjust and fill any gaps caused by short trimming of the sheathing board. The wide flange has striations and perforations to provide a positive bond of a base to the sheathing board. It also has a built-in 1/8″ (3 mm) stop to ensure the proper thickness of the base and finish.
Plastic Component has designed these products specifically for direct applied finish (DEFS) systems to protect and ensure straight corners. These products include casing beads for raw cut edges and wide flange “L” beads for adjusting to uneven cut boards. They also include starter tracks that eliminate the need for expensive back wrapping, control joints to relieve movement, vents that enhance airflow in soffit areas, and decorative reveals just for good looks.
Field-engineered to save time and provide integrity to the directly applied finish system. Plastic Components manufactures them with exterior grade, lead-free PVC material conforming to ASTM standard D1784.
Third-party tested to meet ASTM standard D4216-99 and Canadian Codes.
