Double float & set bead
The thick-coat float and set solution for double-gang sockets and switches.
Thick coat
Float & set
Single float and set socket bead
A single-gang bead for deeper two-coat plaster finishes and solid-wall work.
Unlike the skim bead, the float and set version carries its regulating edge at the rear. That makes it suitable for thicker finishes over blockwork or brickwork, including sand and cement, lime, bonding and hardwall systems.
