Various types of corner bead may be used. Metal bead installed with screws or drywall nails and vinyl bead installed with spray adhesive are probably the most common. The picture displayed here shows vinyl corner bead used on green board (moisture resistant drywall panels). Paper tape is made of specially-treated paper, while the inside corner bead is usually plastic. With paper, you might have some fiberglass to help bolster the structure, but it’s basically still ol’ fashioned tape. Corner bead, on the other hand, is a slightly bendable form of plastic that is usually adhered with the use of a specialty adhesive.

If you choose no-coat beading, then you also have to use less joint compound and are able to “feather out” what’s squeezed out during application. That makes it even more convenient.Some people also might argue that it’s more durable. Paper tape can easily end up being subject to mold. Plastic? Not so much. Even so, this is up for debate, because if you’re taping up drywall properly, you shouldn’t ever have to worry about the tape going bad. Archways don’t have corners, but the drywall on either side of the archway still has to meet, and that’s where archway corner beads come into play.

It costs slightly more than metal bead, but many tapers will argue it’s more than worth the few extra pennies. Drywall corner bead is an angled piece of trim installed along the length of outside wall corners, where two drywall boards meet. Corner bead is used in drywall finishing for two reasons: to stabilize and reinforce corners and to cover the visible seam between the two separate drywall boards, creating a seamless 90-degree angle. Paper-faced metal. This type has a metal core with a paper face and is a popular choice thanks to its rigidity and ease of installation.

But it is a bad (in a good way) machine to see in action.Corner bead is typically only used on outside corners because it’s vulnerable to wear and tear. Although corner beads are used on inside corners, they aren’t necessary, since a simple paper tape installation will suffice. 3 Types of corner bead Paper tape is less rigid than inside corner bead. Corner bead kits are designed to stay rigid, which is part of the reason why they tend to be better suited for complex works. Paper tape can be a little more malleable, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on what kind of joint you’re trying to make.

Durability– Vinyl beads withstand dents and impact much better than metal corner beads. Vinyl provides corrosion protection because its rust-proof to withstand the moisture from basements, kitchens, and bathrooms.

What makes up the corner is the paper that remains on the drywall’s face, with the gypsum being removed by the PanelMax, creating the bend in the drywall. Most professional tapers apply corner bead first. To be most efficient, corner bead installed first will allow the first coat to be applied on the bead as well as screw holes and butt joints. The most common and traditional form of corner bead is the metal corner bead. It also happens to be the least expensive and the easiest option for inexperienced DIYers to master. A minimum of two coats of joint compound is added over the corner bead, and sometimes a third coat is needed. Once the metal is installed, coating can begin. Metal typically takes three layers of joint compound to fully coat, so keep that in mind when buying supplies and accounting for time.Its unique design also makes it easy to install, as the mud leg can easily be fastened to drywall before drywall mud is applied. Then “tear away” the flange once the drywall compound is dry. The time it takes to install drywall in the conventional method by cutting each piece, applying corner bead, finishing compound, and sanding the corner smooth is many times greater than a few cuts with the PanelMax. A Major Investment Feathering is a technique that smooths out the joint compound and blends it seamlessly with the rest of the wall. To do this, take your knife and angle it slightly, then make long strokes along the compound to thin it down and blend it in. This makes sanding much easier.
