Drywall tapered edge should be on inside or outside corner?
I am hanging drywall and putting metal corner beads on outside corners
and paper ones on the inside ones. Since its usually not possible to have tapered sides on both types of corners, which type of corners should have tapered edges? or is there some mix? |

I would tend to choose the tapered end to the outside.

So no taper of the board is necessary there--running the knife along that metal edge and each wall gives an easy and automatic feathering the width of the knife! And tapers on an inside corner will help to 'bury' the tape, no? --JWW 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math And kindly explain your Irish math--not being Irish I just don't get it! |

I get better (flatter) outside corners and the inside corners don't show as much so other than structural problems I would rather deal with the non-taper there. I like the tapers on the outside too. That lets me get a mostly square corner with little odd filling there. When it's time to do the baseboard molding, chair rail, etc it fits much better. The un-square inside corner is much easier less of an issue. Bob you mean for the one time you did drywall work? you spend your entire life in usenet crossposting bad advice. when do you find time to do any drywall work.... |

I am planning on drywalling my basement and the ceiling ht is 8'-6". How would you drywall that running seams horizontal? Best way (but with some waste) is to get 4x10 sheets and trim them to the right height then install them vertically. If you do go with hanging vertically, you can get 4x9 sheets which would have less waste. We have an ICF foundation (insulated concrete form) with 9' high walls and must cover with drywall, so I'm thinking about going vertical with 9' sheets for the basement. -- Calvin Henry-Cotnam "Never ascribe to malice what can equally be explained by incompetence." - Napoleon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: if replying by email, remove the capital letters! |

Since its usually not possible to have tapered sides on both types of corners, which type of corners should have tapered edges? or is there some mix? Normally, tapered edges on corners don't help you as much as they help in the middle of the wall. You only get tapered edges on corners if you hang the drywall vertically. In most applications, it's better to hang horizontally. It usually reduces the overall total length of joints you must seam. |

You are correct generally. You also reminded me of one suggestion I
should have made. Don't mix tapered and square edges on the same side of the same corner. -- Joseph E. Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math "jeffc" wrote in message .com...
