For external renders, do people tend to run stop beads against the window & door frames?
Or is the normal to run the render up against the UPVC frames and then run a bead of silicone down the joint?
Just normally render up to the frame. Technically, putting a stop bead there will allow you run your trowel off the stop bead and corner bead allowing for a really flat reveal. There's no law to say you can't.
If you wanted to render a wall but say leave half of the brickwork showing, that's where you would normally use a stop bead.
