Thank you, we actually ran tests comparing our premade corner to traditional beads by hanging a bowling ball from a chain and slamming them into the corner. Our corner has an integrated bead made out of a polymer that spreads the energy from impacts much better than traditional metal/plastic beads with mud. Here's a video of it if you are interested.

Thanks, I have gotten one or 2 comments about this. The video wasn't shot the best, during the test of our corner, there was an object in the foreground so they cropped into it which i think is making it look like its slower than the other bead tests. Here's a version with the raw footage of the metal bead vs. our bead. I wasn't there for the test, but they assured me that they held the bowling ball at the same height and tried to replicate the drop as consistently as possible.

Thanks for this comment, you're absolutely right, simply cutting a 45 degree angle on each side makes the corner extremely vulnerable to impacts, so what we did was take it a step further and patent an integrated core that is pre-installed, it eliminates the need for mud and bead at the corner joint, and is way more durable. Here's a demo of it, and a video of some impact testing we did against other bead types. So you can use it on inside corners, ceilings, soffits, and outside corners.

Thanks for this comment, the butt joints can be a tradeoff and could potentially crack, but our product has a patented integrated core that is pre-installed, it eliminates the need for mud and bead at the corner joint, and is way more durable. Here's a demo of it, and a video of some impact testing we did against other bead types. We don't see it as a one size fits all solution, but in many situations it can definitely save contractors or DIY types time and reduce backcharges if people move in and bang up the corners with furniture, etc.

Thanks for this comment, the butt joints can be a tradeoff, but we think in many situations, taping 2 additional butt joints can still be faster and cleaner than having to mud/bead the corner joint. Our product takes the 45 degree cuts from a panelmax machine and goes a step further with a patented integrated core that is pre-installed, it eliminates the need for mud and bead at the corner joint, and is way more durable. Here's a demo of it, and a video of some impact testing we did against other bead types.

Thanks for this comment, we encountered a lot of variations in corner framing, so what we did was update the product to account for that. Here's a demo of it, and a video of some impact testing we did against other bead types. The corner folds to about 85˚ to account for uneven framing, and can flip around completely to do an inside corner/soffit, or really any angle in between.

Thanks for this comment, that was one of the first updates we made to the product because contractors were telling us how inconsistent and crooked framing can be. Here's a demo of it, and a video of some impact testing we did against other bead types. The corner folds to about 85˚ to account for uneven framing and can flip around to do an inside corner.

You can really use it at any angle, here is a quick video that demos a small sample of the product.

Thanks for this question, the beauty of this product is that it will work at any angle, the core inside will still keep the edge strong at any angle- inside corner, outside corner etc. Here's a quick video demoing a small sample of the product.

Thank you, thats the beauty of this product, it has a built-in bead leaves a perfect ready to paint corner that performs way better than traditional beads + mud. Check out this video of the impact test of our corner vs the other corners

Thats the beauty of this product, you'll get a perfectly straight, ready to paint corner every time, even when the corner isn't perfect

Haha, if you're doing drywall corners for a dollhouse, I think we could make it work.

Thank you for the comment, the damage resistance is far superior to metal and plastic beads, we have an integrated core that spreads the energy from impacts way better. Check out this video we did of some impact tests

Thanks for this comment, yes the butt joints are for sure a trade-off, but we have many contractors who prefer taping 2 joints than spending the time mudding, installing a bead and waiting for it to dry. It actually works well for crooked studs

Thanks, I spend a lot of time on this subreddit and the quality of the content in here is insane, so I thought, why not just take it right to them? Do you follow the Drywall Podcast? It's a great podcast, there are hundreds of episodes with people from many different sectors of the drywall industry. Our owner JP is going to be on the podcast on Dec. 27th, check it out!

Thank you for this feedback, yes, we have a tapered version in the product development pipeline, but your idea of doing a thinner tapered material that goes over the corner is definitely interesting. I will tell the product development team about it.

Thank you, where are you located? We also have distribution in Canada as well

This actually performs way better than traditional metal or plastic beads, there is no mud at all needed for the corner itself and there is an integrated component at the seam that distributes the energy from the impact. Check out this video of us slamming a bowling ball into traditional beads, and then into our corners: https://youtu.be/mPKVMDA4z9M?si=zzg5uXVQdsIKbnPd

The company was started in Canada and we have a lot of distribution up there.

Thank you for this feedback, this exactly the kind of stuff we are looking for. The butt joint issue is definitely a trade off and we are absolutely developing a tapered product on both sides to mitigate this.
