Archway Corner Bead
Archway Corner Bead is a flexible drywall trim used to finish curved or arched corners such as doorways, windows, soffits, and curved walls. Unlike standard corner beads for straight 90° corners, archway beads have slotted or flexible flanges that allow them to bend smoothly along curves.
