AquaBead® is an easy-to-apply, water-activated,self-adhesive drywall corner that doesn’t blister, bubble, dent or crack. AquaBead is a high performance corner bead made of a high-strength polymer core that is coated with paper on both sides and perforated in a manner that achieves solid coverage with a single pass. Featuring a beaded nose, the product is forgiving to the flaws and variations of edge cuts and surpasses the impact resistance of most metal beads that easily dent and have to be pulled back off.
AquaBead installs quickly with a superior bond and since the adhesive paper is water-activated, contractors can apply it using only a spray bottle - no nails or compound are required - eliminating common punch list issues such as nail pops and edge cracking.
