The Squarz It conversion corner was designed by a professional drywall contractor for ease and simplicity of installation on drywall bullnose corners, and for a professional and appealing miter-cut corner. It is a labor saving device for both the installer and the finish carpenter. There is no cutting or measuring of the corner bead necessary. This product can be installed anywhere on the corner, and works well for chair rails, coved ceilings, and window sills. Simply apply adhesive, and, using a straightedge, line up the Squarz It device and finish corner as usual. Squarz It provides the convenience of square corner bead but the appeal of rounded bullnose corners. |
