Paper-faced corner bead can typically be installed quickly. It also blends smoothly into drywall because the paper surface removes the sharp edge of exposed metal. This option also reduces the risk of cracking along the edges and helps prevent nail or screw pops because it’s adhered with compound rather than fasteners.
Because it’s installed with compound instead of fasteners, paper-faced corner bead goes up quickly. Workers spend less time nailing or screwing bead into place, and the paper surface makes it easier to achieve a smooth edge.
While the material itself can cost a bit more, the faster installation can make it more economical overall, especially on larger projects with multiple corners. However, it's worth taking the time to weigh up what's best for your project and budget.
