Perfectly solid and impact-resistant corners of Rigips drywall constructions with AquaBead trim

The AquaBead strip consists of a special plastic, high-strength paper, and starch-based adhesive.
The unique technology of the strip makes the protection of the edges of drywall constructions stable, safe, and very effective.
The labor-intensive and time-consuming treatment of corners using aluminum strips cannot be compared with the simple, quick application and the resulting quality of the construction detail.

Application of the AquaBead strip on the edge of the structure using the applicator for external 90° edges. The side arms of the strip must be glued over their entire surface.

AquaBead strips are highly resistant to damage, such as impacts or blows. These strips are incomparably stronger compared to standard aluminum strips.
The strip is not joint-compounded when installed on the corner of the drywall structure. The adhesive that it comes with from the factory is activated with ordinary clean water. And due to the high adhesion of the strip to the drywall, it holds on the corner even without the use of screws or clips.

There are also savings on joint compound during finishing work. The consumption of joint compound is lower because the strip is more slender and does not require joint taping, as is common with aluminum strips. For re-coating the strip, Rigips recommends the Rifino Top compound, which guarantees excellent adhesion, a smooth and nearly white surface, and good sandability.

AquaBead strips have no sharp edges, even after being cut to the desired length. They are therefore safer during installation.

Installers working with the strip will appreciate the auxiliary applicator for external 90° edges. Application rollers help maintain a constant and even pressure on the strip during attachment. The applicator is on a rod extension that allows easy access even to more distant corners. With this tool, significant savings in work time can be achieved, as well as a more visually precise corner.
Thanks to AquaBead strips, working on finishing the corners of drywall constructions is faster, easier, safer, and also more economical.
