Corners are where DIY drywall shows.
Bulkheads, column wraps and half-walls are common weekend projects, and the outside corners are what everyone sees. EasyCorner gives the shopper a crisp factory corner and a joint that finishes flat.
A
No corner bead to fight
The 90° corner and the U Profile's two corners are formed in the factory: straight, square and ready to finish.
B
Factory bevel on both ends
Butt two pieces together and the bevels form a recess. The tape sits below the face and the joint finishes flat, with no hump.
C
4 ft lengths
Fits in the car and handles with one person. Cuts to fit any framing with a utility knife: measure from the face, score, snap.

Product 3 · Pairs with EasyCorner 90°
EasyCorner™ 3-Way corner
A factory-formed corner block for the outside corner of a bulkhead, where the front, the bottom and the end all meet. All three arms are the same size, so it fits any way you turn it. There's no left or right to choose.
- One crisp 3-way corner: no patching or piecing the end of the bulkhead
- Fits any way you turn it: one part for every outside corner
- Matches EasyCorner 90°: 8×8×8, 12×12×12 and 16×16×16
- The 90° run butts into it, so the rest of the bulkhead goes up the usual way
- Bulkheads that stop short of a wall
- Soffits that end over a cabinet run
- Duct boxes ending mid-room
- Pick the size that matches your EasyCorner 90°: a 12×12 bulkhead takes the 12×12×12 corner.
