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.
