BEAD AND TRIM
For the most cost-effective, problem-free, beautiful corners, choose USG Sheetrock® and Beadex® Brand Paper-Faced
Metal Corner Bead and Trim. Fast, easy installation means reduced labor costs, while superior product performance
eliminates costly job callbacks, saving money and ensuring customer satisfaction. With the tape-on versions, nailing is
not required, so installation and corner alignment are easier, and there are no nails to pop when wood framing shrinks.
Nail-on versions of the bead and trim are designed for applications where nailing or other mechanical fastening
is desired. They use the same paper-faced metal technology to provide excellent bond adhesion qualities for joint
compounds, textures and paints. The unique green “nose coating” on the paper tape covering resists scuffing and
fuzzing from knives and sanding. The paper tape covering ensures excellent adhesion of joint compounds, textures
and paints for a strong, smooth finish.
USG Sheetrock® and Beadex® Brand Paper-Faced Metal Corner Bead and Trim provide superior resistance to edge
cracking and chipping for a look that stays beautiful despite the stresses of normal building movement and everyday
wear and tear. In fact, USG warrants that its beads and trims will not edge crack for the lifetime of the structure using
recommended application techniques.
