Introducing a New Kind of Closed Angle Corner Bead

Introducing Closed Angle Corner Bead 6

Whether you’re a highly trained drywall finisher or a jack-of-all-trades without a ton of drywall skills, you may already know about Trim-Tex’s popular closed angle beads. These vinyl powerhouses have a tighter, 81-degree angle and an increased rigidity that, together, seem to magically transform crooked drywall corners into perfectly straight ones. And whether you’re that pro or that newbie, you’ll want a box of the latest first-class solution from Trim-Tex: the new Closed Angle Corner Bead, with a tastefully soft edge for a perfectly smooth finish, and a new hole-pattern design on its mud legs that saves you time and materials.

The new Closed Angle Corner Bead profile takes a classic Trim-Tex design and remixes it with recent innovations that save drywall finishers time. Where the other members of our Closed Angle family of drywall accessories possess a sharp edge for clear-cut corners, the new Closed Angle Corner Bead is a riff on our gold-standard solution — the Trim-Tex Corner Bead drywallers have been using for decades, with that softer, slightly rounded profile for which we’re known worldwide.

This latest addition to the Trim-Tex catalog brings your options for a Closed Angle bead up to three awesome accessories. Choose one to suit your own personal style: the new soft-profile Closed Angle Corner Bead, the sharp Rigid Closed Angle (now with new stock numbers: CA08R, CA09R and CA10R) or the extra-wide Rigid Jumbo Closed Angle (CA10RJ).

So, why Closed Angle? Its tighter angle — 81 degrees, rather than the usual 90 — provides the bead a greater overall rigidity. This makes the bead uniquely suited to conquering twisted, warped or just plain lazily installed framing. Closed Angle Corner Bead’s newly designed hole pattern (also found on the redesigned Rigid Closed Angle) cuts back on the mud you'll need to use to finish it, and the time it takes for that mud to dry.

And even if your framing’s perfectly fine, so many drywall finishers still love using these beads, especially if they’re used to using metal corner beads — its heightened rigidity makes the bead behave much more like metal materials, so it's the perfect choice to transition into using vinyl drywall accessories. (Push a standard 90-degree vinyl corner bead into place too hard, as many vinyl newbies tend to do, and the legs of the bead may flare out somewhat. With Closed Angle beads, that won’t happen.)

This way, you’re getting the feeling of using metal, but none of metal’s many flaws; it’s got the advantages of vinyl’s increased durability, adaptability, immunity to rust and everything else that makes it the superior choice for protecting drywall corners. And if you only want to install your bead with nails like metal, Closed Angle’s new hole pattern accommodates that.
