ClarkDietrich P1UO Corner Bead, 8 ft L, 3/4 in W, Metal, Galvanized

Platinum Paper-faced tape-on beads combine galvanized metal corner and edge protection with high-grade paper tape to provide cost-effective, problem-free outside drywall corner finishing. Paper-faced beads are available in a number of different widths to suit most wallboard applications. Wider flange beads are used to cover imperfect corners, while shorter flanges are used to achieve maximum efficiency. 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. Although paper-faced beads do cost more compared to traditional metal and vinyl, they provide reduced labor and materials by reducing the amount of joint compound needed and also eliminate one pass of finishing.
