Paper Faced Corner Bead

Paper Faced Corner Bead is a drywall finishing product designed to create strong, straight, and clean outside corners on drywall installations. It consists of a metal or plastic core covered with paper flanges that bond easily with joint compound. The paper surface allows it to blend smoothly with drywall tape and compound, producing a crack-resistant and professional finish.

Unlike traditional metal corner beads that are nailed or screwed, paper faced corner beads are embedded directly into joint compound or drywall mud, which helps reduce fasteners and prevents corner cracking.
