FAQS on metal mesh corner bead

Q: What is a metal mesh corner bead used for?

A: A metal mesh corner bead is designed to protect and reinforce drywall corners from damage. Its mesh structure allows for better adhesion of joint compound during drywall finishing. It ensures a straight, durable edge for walls or ceilings.

Q: How do you install a drywall metal corner bead?

A: Measure and cut the metal corner bead to fit the wall corner. Secure it using nails, screws, or adhesive, ensuring it aligns flush with the drywall. Apply joint compound over the mesh and smooth it for a seamless finish.

Q: What are the advantages of corner bead metal over plastic?

A: Metal corner beads are more durable and resistant to impacts compared to plastic. They provide a straighter edge and are less prone to warping over time. Metal is also better suited for high-traffic or commercial applications.

Q: Can a metal mesh corner bead be used on curved walls?

A: Standard metal mesh corner beads are rigid and ideal for straight corners. For curved surfaces, flexible vinyl or pre-curved metal beads are recommended. Attempting to bend rigid metal beads may cause warping or uneven finishes.

Q: Do I need to mud after installing a drywall metal corner bead?

A: Yes, applying joint compound (mud) over the metal mesh corner bead is essential for blending it into the wall. The mesh design helps the compound adhere evenly. Sand the dried compound for a smooth, invisible transition.
