Metal Cornerbeads
Our metal cornerbeads use proprietary electro galvanized steel with deep knurling for superior joint compound adhesion. The rust-resistant coating extends product lifespan while maintaining structural integrity. Contractors benefit from reduced sanding time and fewer callbacks due to our enhanced durability features.
Paper Faced Nail-On
Engineered paper-to-steel lamination prevents delamination while maintaining optimal adhesion properties. The fiber-reinforced paper resists fuzzing during sanding for smoother finishes. This design balances flexibility with strength for challenging installation environments.
Plastic Cornerbeads
ABS plastic construction provides impact resistance while maintaining pliability for curved applications. The non-corrosive material suits humid environments without compromising structural performance. Contractors achieve faster installations with reduced material waste compared to traditional metal trims.
The Original Cornerbead Tool
Patented tool simplifies steel stud installations with precision alignment features. Reduces labor time by 40% through one-step corner formation. Durable construction ensures consistent results across thousands of applications without adjustment.
Corner Caps
Available in 2-way, 3-way, and large 3-way configurations for diverse architectural needs. Pre-formed designs ensure uniformity across installations. Compatible with all trim types for seamless integration in commercial and residential projects.
