Paper-faced tape-on beads combine galvanized metal corner and edge protection with high-grade papertape to provide cost-effective, problem-free outside drywall corner finishing. Paper-faced beads areavailable in a number of different widths to suit most wallboard applications. Wider flange beads are usedto cover imperfect corners, while shorter flanges are used to achieve maximum efficiency.
- Paper faced beads virtually eliminate corner cracks, edge chips and nail pops
- These paper faced beads are appliedusing joint compound that embeds the paper bead to the wallboard paper
- No mechanical fasteners likenails, screws, staples or crimps are used
- Although paper-faced beads do cost more compared totraditional metal and vinyl, they provide reduced labor and materials by reducingthe amount of joint compound needed and also eliminate one pass of finishing
