What are the advantages of Strait-Flex corner beads on a roll?
Roll-format corner beads can be cut to the required length on site, helping reduce waste and transport damage. Their flexible composite construction makes them suitable for straight, internal, external and off-angle corners, depending on the product.
They are generally installed using a suitable joint compound and do not require screws or metal fasteners.
Can Strait-Flex products be installed with standard joint compound?
Many Strait-Flex products are designed to be embedded in standard joint compound. Always follow the instructions for the specific product, as preparation and installation methods may differ between corner beads, edge tapes and repair patches.
What is the difference between joint tape and a roll-format corner bead?
Paper joint tape reinforces flat plasterboard joints. A roll-format corner bead is designed to form and reinforce internal, external or off-angle corners. They are not interchangeable, so choose the product intended for the relevant application.
Can I repair holes in plasterboard without using a metal patch?
Yes. Strait-Flex repair products such as Ultra-Patch and Roll-Patch are designed for repairing holes, cracks and damaged plasterboard using standard joint compound. Check the product page for the maximum recommended repair size and installation instructions.
