Gypsum Corner Tape is an essential finishing material for creating strong, straight, and clean external corners on gypsum board surfaces. It reinforces exposed corners and helps protect them from cracks, chips, and damage during and after construction. A properly reinforced corner also gives your gypsum wall, partition, or ceiling feature a sharper and more professional appearance.
During gypsum installation, external corners are more vulnerable than flat surfaces. They can easily get damaged when furniture is moved, when other finishing work is being done, or through everyday use. Applying Gypsum Corner Tape provides an additional layer of reinforcement and helps maintain the shape of the corner over time.
The tape is applied together with jointing compound. The compound holds the tape in position and creates a smooth surface that can be sanded and painted. This makes it easier to achieve an even finish without leaving visible edges or imperfections around the corner.
Gypsum Corner Tape is suitable for a wide range of interior applications. It can be used on gypsum board partitions, wall linings, ceiling drops, boxed sections, niches, columns, and other drywall features that have exposed external corners. It is particularly useful for projects where clean lines and high-quality finishing are important.
Using the right finishing materials can make a significant difference to the final result. Gypsum boards provide the surface, while jointing compound fills and smooths the joints. Corner tape reinforces vulnerable edges and helps the finished surface withstand everyday wear.
For contractors and fundis, Gypsum Corner Tape also makes finishing work more consistent. Instead of relying only on layers of filler to form the corner, the tape provides reinforcement underneath the finishing compound. This helps create a more defined corner and reduces the risk of damage.
Gypsum Corner Tape – Paper joint tape bonded to two corrosion resistant steel strips for reinforcing internal and external angles in plasterboard constructions. The high performance, low friction paper gives a crisp, perfect straight edge while simultaneously reducing friction burn to fingers during application. Approximate 50mm width.
