Let’s start with the basics: why should you use a rolled corner bead? It’s stronger and thicker than paper tape, and that added strength is going to be a lifesaver in many areas, especially long off-angle runs like the kind you’ll find on cathedral ceilings.

But once you decide to use a rolled corner bead, how do you know which one to pick out of the many options out there?
