Expansion beads are among the most popular types of specialty drywall accessories in Trim-Tex’s entire catalog. It’s not hard to see why—you cannot beat the flexibility of vinyl materials for expansion joints, where allowing for some controlled movement is crucial.
Each of the three expansion beads Trim-Tex offers—093V Expansion, the subtler Hideaway Expansion and the Fire Rated 093X-V Expansion—are designed to be easier to use, faster to install and remain more flexible than any comparable product on the market.
In commercial construction, building codes will dictate that any partition spanning 30 feet or longer needs an expansion bead between sheets of drywall, and often, contain firestop materials. These expansion joints will allow your drywall to move along with the structure without any cracks in the finish—or more serious damage to your walls and/or ceilings—for years to come. But many residential construction projects should incorporate expansion beads as well, especially in large, open areas with unbroken walls and ceilings, like garages.
