MortarThePoint Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We have render coming down onto a bellcast bead above windows. There's a gap between the bead and the lintel. Can anyone recommend something fill this gap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Upvc window trim, colour to match windows or render. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that could be hard to get looking neat. I was hoping to use some form of caulk or something. If black, I could then paint the lintel black. If ivory could match render. Needs to be exterior grade though obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I can't work out why there is a gap, but it may be good to cloak the lintel and the gap it in whatever material the windows are finished in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lintel doesn't quite come to the face of the blockwork and then the render bead is pressed into the render basecoat. The gap is about 8mm.
