Installing Trim-Tex Mud Set Bead

Mud Set Beads are installed with base compound only. These beads provide paramount impact resistance and a superior bond, virtually eliminating cracking. This range of beads from Trim-Tex incorporates I Beam technology. The I Beam allows the beads to absorb impact and resist cracking while producing a sharper corner. The range of Mud Set beads use Mud Lock technology and a specially engineered hole pattern to create a superior bond between PVC and Plasterboard. Mud Locks over the entire mud leg of the bead greatly increasing the bonding area. Micro perforations allow the optimum amount of compound to pass through, enabling the bead to self level on the corner. After installation, Mud Set Beads bond so strongly to the wall - they almost become part of it. Mud Set Beads are the fastest to install in the Trim-Tex range. They can be installed using Automatic Tools, a Hopper or by hand without the need for staples of spray adhesive. Expect more from your Corner Beads.
