Fixman Plasterboard Reinforced Corner Tape – Key FAQs
What is reinforced corner tape used for?
It’s used to finish and strengthen plasterboard corners, helping create straighter edges and improving resistance to knocks and cracking during the tape-and-jointing process.
Can I use this tape on internal and external corners?
Yes. It’s primarily used on external corners, but it can also be used on internal corners where extra strength and a cleaner line are required.
Does this replace metal corner beads?
In many applications, yes. The built-in metal strips provide reinforcement, reducing the need for rigid corner beads, while still allowing a strong finished corner.
Is the tape self-adhesive?
No. It’s non-adhesive and should be bedded into joint compound or a suitable adhesive as part of a tape-and-jointing system.
Will the metal rust over time?
The reinforcing strips are corrosion resistant (galvanised) to help reduce the risk of rusting in normal drylining and finishing applications.
What width and length is the roll?
The tape is 50mm (2 inch) wide and supplied as a 30 metre roll, suitable for multiple corners and longer runs.
