Bead, Tape & Jointing

Finishing plasterboard without skimming

Tape and jointing is the process of covering and reinforcing plasterboard at the seams. As a practical alternative to skim coating drywall, you can efficiently and quickly prepare walls for plastering.

Joint tape

The gaps between plasterboard sheets are bridged using joint tape, before being entrenched in plasterboard jointing compound to prevent cracks and strengthen the joints. This process helps to keep it professional-looking for a longer period of time.

High-quality plasterboard joint tape is vital if you are planning on tape and jointing plasterboard for your build. However, another product which shouldn't be overlooked is plasterboard beads, which allow for sharp, neat corners to be plastered easily.

Plaster stop beads

Plaster beads either come in metal or plastic, both of which can be effective when plastering a wall. The process of beading plasterboard involved placing a thin piece of metal or plastic with straight edges along the length of the board. This provides smooth and precise corners for plastering over. It’s very common to bead plasterboard around openings like windows and door frames.
