Use of Paper-Faced Corner Bead

Measure the wall height and subtract ½'. Measure and cut paper-faced corner bead using aviator snips.
With a 4' or 5' taping knife, apply a smooth, liberal coat of all-purpose joint compound to the corner.
Press paper-faced bead firmly into the wet compound. Adjust, if necessary, to create a straight line.
Wipe down tight with a 5' or 6' taping knife using pressure on the outer edges of the corner bead to remove any excess compound. Allow this to dry completely, for several hours or overnight.
Using an 8' taping knife, apply the first coat of joint compound to the surface of the corner bead. The use of lightweight or setting-type compound in this step will reduce shrinkage and speed up drying time. Let this dry completely, for several hours or overnight.
Using an 8' or 10' taping knife, apply a light finish coat of joint compound. Feather the compound beyond the previous coat.The use of all-purpose or topping compound will make for a more durable finish. Let this dry completely, for several hours or overnight.
Sand lightly with 120 grit sandpaper.

4 reasons to use paper corner guards

Crack Elimination with Superior Quality
Some of the most prevalent headaches in drywall finishing are the unsightly cracks along metal edges.Paper-faced corner bead virtually eliminates this problem by embedding galvanized metal within high-protection paper.This combination results in a higher quality corner that resists cracking, edge chips, and nail pops.The paper-faced design provides a smooth and durable finish that stands the test of time.

Labor-Savings
It's no secret that labor shortages in the construction industry remain a pressing concern. Paper-faced corner bead can help your crew finish quickly and move onto the next job by eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners like nails, screws, or staples. The drywall mud seamlessly embeds the paper bead to the wall, significantly reducing installation time and effort.This innovation not only enhances labor efficiency but also contributes to cost savings on materials.

Fuzz-Free Sanding
While some inferior paper-faced or mesh corner beads often "fuzz up” when sanded, leading to additional work and refinishing, there is now a high-quality alternative that eliminates this concern.

Superior Adhesion and Bonding Strength
The paper-faced design not only eliminates cracking issues but also provides superior adhesion and bonding strength. This ensures that your corners remain intact and durable over time, offering a long-lasting solution for your drywall installations. The product's commitment to quality translates into a finished project that exceeds expectations.

Different Types of Drywall Corner Bead

Paper-Faced Corner Bead

Paper-faced corner bead is made of a metal or plastic core coated with a layer of paper. This type of bead is popular due to its smooth finish, which blends seamlessly with the drywall surface. The paper surface also creates an excellent bond with joint compound, ensuring a strong and durable corner.

Metal Corner Bead

Metal corner bead is a traditional choice for protecting drywall corners. Made of galvanized steel or aluminum, this bead offers a high level of durability and strength. Its rigid design makes it ideal for straight corners, and it is resistant to denting and cracking. However, metal corner beads can be more challenging to work with, as they may require additional fasteners and careful handling to avoid sharp edges.

Vinyl Corner Bead

Vinyl corner bead is a flexible and lightweight option that is easy to install. It is resistant to rust and moisture, making it suitable for high-humidity environments, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Vinyl corner bead is also less likely to crack or dent than metal corner bead, but it may not provide the same level of rigidity and strength.

Bullnose Corner Bead

Bullnose corner bead is designed to create a rounded, smooth transition between adjacent drywall surfaces. This type of bead is popular for its elegant, contemporary aesthetic and the ability to soften the appearance of sharp corners. Bullnose corner bead is available in metal, vinyl, and paper-faced varieties.

FAQ

Q: Why use paper faced corner bead?

A: Paper-faced beads virtually eliminate corner cracks, edge chips and nail pops. These beads are applied using joint compound that embeds the paper bead to the wallboard paper. No mechanical fasteners like nails, screws, staples or crimps are used.

Q: Can you use paper faced corner bead on inside corners?

A: Tape-on inside 90° paper-faced corner bead provides very straight and precise inside corners. Paper-faced inside corners are embedded in joint compound and pressed firmly into place. Excess compound is removed with a drywall knife.

Q: What is the best mud for paper corner bead?

A: All-purpose joint compound is a versatile option but lightweight joint compound is easier to sand, so is often recommended for corner bead.

Q: What type of drywall corner bead is best?

A: Vinyl. While metal is the traditional material used for corner beads, vinyl is the contemporary preference for modern drywall contractors and DIY enthusiasts. Modern vinyl types of drywall corner beads provide significant advantages over their traditional metal counterparts, including, most importantly, durability.

Q: Should I use metal or paper corner bead?

A: Commonly seen peeling off of walls and causing unsightly cracks, paper-faced corner bead over metal materials can be even more susceptible to damage than traditional metal. When struck, the paper-faced corner bead's metal profile can still be dinged or dented and can cause irreversible damage to your outside corner.

Q: Is plastic or metal corner bead better?

A: Besides the daily wear-and-tear that your average drywall corner is going to sustain over the years — accidents happen all the time, of course, and vinyl beads can withstand impact much better than metal — metal beads can be easily damaged during transport if they are crushed or jostled.
