Integrated Metal Drywall Corner Bead Flange Expanded With 1 Inch Wing

Integrated Drywall Flange Expanded Corner Bead With 1 Inch Wing

WSFIVIN redefines corner perfection with our Integrated Flange Corner Bead, engineered for one-step installation and zero-compromise durability. Featuring a rigid 1" drywall-specific wing—industry’s widest grip surface—it eliminates bulging and misalignment by anchoring flush to studs or framing with 50% fewer fasteners (vs. narrow-flange beads). The thermo-expanded steel mesh core creates a 3D plaster matrix, locking compound deep within its lattice for crack-free corners that withstand HVAC shifts and seismic tremors. Pre-galvanized using our ShieldBond™ process (140g/m² zinc), it combats job-site moisture and corrosion from subfloor to ceiling. Available in 8’, 10’, or custom-cut lengths for seamless integration across Chicago high-rises or Vancouver condos, this bead delivers unmatched precision while trimming drywalling labor by 40%.

Structural Brilliance: Where Expansion Meets Integration
Forged from 0.6mm high-tensile steel (ASTM A653), the bead’s expanded diamond grid isn’t just adhesive—it’s a plaster engine, with each aperture designed to channel material into interlocking vertical and horizontal keys that resist delamination. The integrated 1" flange acts as a built-in alignment guide, bending uniformly around 90° or oblique angles without creasing. V-ribbed spine reinforcement absorbs up to 22J impact—surviving scaffold bumps or material drops—while tapered edges vanish under tape. At 0.8 lb/ft, it balances heft for stability with fingertip control for vaulted ceilings or curved partitions.

Transforming North America’s Drywall Workflows

• High-Volume Residential: Speed up Texas tract housing or Toronto apartment builds; integrated flanges prevent "nail pop" shrinkage in humid climates.
• Commercial Precision: Perfect hospital corridors (Houston) and hotel lobbies (Montreal); 1" wing bridges uneven framing for ADA-compliant edges.
• Retrofit & Renovation: Revive Seattle brownstones or Ottawa offices; expanded mesh bonds gypsum and veneer plaster over compromised substrates.
• Acoustic & Fire-Rated Walls: Excel in L.A. theaters/manufacturing facilities; monolithic plaster seals surpass ASTM E119 sound/fire benchmarks.
• Extreme Climate Zones: Survive Alaskan freeze cycles and Arizona heat; zinc shield halts rust under thermal expansion stress.

The Contractor’s Edge: Delivering Certainty Under Deadline
WSFIVIN crafted this solution for union drywall specialists, design-build firms, and nationwide distributors who demand install-and-forget reliability. All production batches include digital compliance certificates for ASTM C1063 structural integrity, LEED-material recycling (82% post-consumer steel), and FM Global impact standards. Customization is key: choose zinc-aluminum coatings (180g/m² for coastal zones), custom radii (5°–170°), or UL-certified fire-rated variants. Backed by ISO 9001:2015 precision manufacturing and on-demand shipping from 5 North American hubs, we offer 15% volume discounts, real-time job-site support, and 48-hour CNC cutting—because your reputation shouldn’t hinge on a corner. Build faster. Build flawless. Build once.
