A framing accessory includes a bead and a backing strip. The bead may comprise a first leg, a second leg, and a lip. The second leg may comprise a plurality of openings. The strip may be attached to the upper surface of the first leg. In some embodiments, the strip may comprise a single layer of material, while in other embodiments, the strip may comprise two or more layers of material. The strip may comprise material having fire resistant, intumescent, and/or sound insulating properties. The finishing accessory may be configured to be installed in a gap of a wall assembly to create a seal.

The present disclosure relates a joint support that includes a support strip having first and second elongate flanges, the first and second elongate flanges having an inside surface, an outside surface, an inner edge, and an outer edge. The joint support further includes a first auxiliary flap including an inner portion attached to the inside surface of the first elongate flange and an outer portion that extends laterally beyond the outer edge of the first elongate flange. The joint support further includes a second auxiliary flap including an inner portion attached to the inside surface of the second elongate flange and an outer portion that extends laterally beyond the outer edge of the second elongate flange. The joint support further includes a pressure sensitive adhesive substance disposed on at least a first portion of an inside surface of each of the first auxiliary flap and the second auxiliary flap.

A trim strip assembly is provided for use on a corner formed by at least two sheets of drywall. The trim strip assembly includes a trim strip body extending along a body axis that may extend longitudinally, and the trim strip body may have at least one inside surface 18. The trim strip assembly also includes an adhesive layer formed over at least a portion of the at least one inside surface of the trim strip body, the adhesive layer having a softening point range such that when the adhesive layer is heated to a temperature within the softening point range, the adhesive layer bonds to at least one of the at least two sheets of drywall to secure the trim strip body to the at least one of the at least two sheets of drywall.

A corner beading device and methods of using and manufacturing the same are provided. The device has a single fixed body defining: a cavity for receiving flowable material, an inlet sized and shaped to correspond to the size and shape of the corner bead cross section, an outlet opposite to the inlet shaped to correspond to the corner bead cross section, and of larger vertical size than the inlet, and a guide comprising at least one of a channel and a protruding ridge. To use the device, a user inserts a corner bead into the inlet, along the guide, and out the outlet, whereby the upper edge of the outlet scrapes off all but a thin, substantially uniform layer of flowable material from the surface of the corner bead. A method of manufacturing the device comprises the step of injection molding the single fixed body of the device.
