Finishing an outside drywall corner, this 8' metal corner bead is the formed metal angle that caps the exposed corner where two drywall panels meet, giving a straight, durable edge to finish with joint compound. Nailed or screwed over the corner, its two flanges set the line and its nose protects the corner from the dents and cracks that bare drywall corners suffer, while the perforated or meshed flanges let joint compound key in for a smooth, blended finish. Galvanized steel resists rust behind the mud. At 8', it runs a full corner, and it is the standard trim for a clean, tough drywall corner.
