May 2011: Introducing Mud Set Beads from Trim-Tex

Mud Set Beads

Mud Set Beads have just landed in Australia. The Mud Set Beads beads combine the reliability Trim-Tex products are renown for with innovative, new features with a revolutionary way to install Corner Beads.

Mud Set Beads are installed with base compound only. These beads provide paramount impact resistance and a superior bond virtually eliminating cracking.

This new range of beads from Trim-Tex is 3 times more rigid with the introduction of I Beam technology. The I Beam allows beads to absorb impact and resist cracking while producing a sharper corner.

The Mud Set Beads use Mud Lock technology and a specially engineered hole pattern to create a superior bond between PVC and Plasterboard. Mud Locks cover 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 or spray adhesive.

The Mud Set range is available now - Expect more from your Corner Beads.

    August 2008: Beadex Paper Faced Metal Corner Bead

    Wallboard Tools is pleased to announce the addition of Beadex to our range.

    Beadex profiles are manufactured from high quality paper tape so it has a superior bond with joint compound. The metal strip is rust resistant and protects against chipping, cracking and other normal wear and tear. This perfect fusion of paper tape and metal allows you to create sharp, crisp corners and square set angles.

    Creating the perfect corner with Beadex has never been easier or quicker. Beadex can be installed with the Tapepro Automatic Taping Tools in roughly half the time taken up by traditional methods. There is no exposed metal on the profiles so there is no priming required.
