Rustication, meaning creation of decorative grooves in the façade, is an architectural treatment, already common in ancient times. Currently, this method has been used successfully in the modern architectural form of the buildings erected.

Rustication improves the visual effect of the façade, increases its aesthetic value, introduces divisions that refine and make an even extremely monotonous and plain façade interesting.

The most important effect of rustication (in case of horizontal rustications) is causing the optical effect of „lowering” the building.

Application: for making decorative rustications in the thermal insulation cladding.

Functional properties:

– Guarantee of obtaining simple, equal grooves in the façade

– Strengthening the edge of the groove through the introduction of hard PVC beads

– Cheaper and quicker installation when compared to the „manual” rustication with corner beads with mesh

– Tight connection of the groove beads through the use of fasteners for the rustications

– Resistance to water and mechanical damage

Assembly: Groove beads are available in four commonly used widths: 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, 50 mm. Depth of groove beads is 20 mm, except for groove beads BP11 H1, where the depth is 10 mm.

PVC groove beads are used for façades based both on mineral wool and polystyrene as long as the colour of the polystyrene façade does not have a high absorption coefficient of solar energy, which causes a strong warming of the façade surface and shrinkage of expanded polystyrene up to 15%.

Groove beads are available in a version with mesh in four commonly used widths: 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm, 50 mm. The „VERTEX” brand fibreglass mesh is permanently mounted (using ultrasonic welding, without glue) longitudinally on both sides of the rustication. Mesh width is 2 x 100 mm.

On special order it is possible to make the rustications in any colour and in any oval shape for oval façades.

Pricing policy: Bella Plast maintains a transparent pricing policy, which is an important factor in the successful distribution of Bella Plast products. Each customer will receive a competitive price that is appropriate to the volume of purchase and position in the distribution market. The price-quantity-quality relationship is our primary measure in building the distribution network, determining the correct resale price and increasing the availability of goods.

We offer groove beads for rustication with a new red protective film with higher strength parameters. Beads with blue protective film – available while supplies last.

* – ask for custom lengths and colours

ATTENTION!

In the case of a dark colour of the façade plaster, check with the manufacturer of the plaster and the architect of the building for the amount of solar energy absorbed by the surface of the façade. Excessive absorption of solar energy excludes the use of STYROFOAM as a thermal insulation cladding because it undergoes degradation and high shrinkage – up to 15% of volume !!! In that case, the façade will be destroyed – complaints about the damage to Bella Plast will be unreasonable.
