Stop beads

any alternatives might allow water to drain down the windows and doors

however a couple of alternatives= stop beads or how about forming bell cast using timber as former then removing the timber

If your using 15 mm beads use 15 mm bell beads ?

If it rains water will run down anyhow.having a extra 10mm bell won't make much of a difference surely?

More if they are used above a damp course etc the 45 angle on the bottom makes it drip on the face of the wall , a stop bead is flat on the bottom of it and more chance of it running horizontal, obviously your doing the head and reveals aswell so you would lose the 45 on the bottom of the bell bead if you understand ?

Well thats my guess of it in anyways haha , water would still run down windows though as the head on the reveals will just be on a 90 degree off the window ..... That wasnt to you bobby just replyed to urs for sun reason lol

For sure.
I personally prefere a stop bead at the bottom.
Looks modern and flat

hi bobby ------- its not the 10 mm difference the bell cast is set at a different angle, with the bottom as a drip - back off the bead is angled - so unless their is prevailing wind the rain would n't flow up hill towards the building, but drip of the front of the bead at the lowest point
