A construction element is provided for forming a corner of a surface of a building, the surface including wall panels attached to framing studs. The construction element includes: a corner-forming surface that that is shaped to extend, in a cross-sectional view, between two separate wall panels, such that ends of the corner-forming surface, as viewed in the cross-sectional view, substantially match respective corners of the wall panels; and a fastener strip that, in a state in which the corner-forming surface is in its installed position with respect to the framing studs, is substantially parallel to one or more of the framing studs, such that a fastener can attach the fastener strip to one or more of the studs without passing through the wall panel.

A casing bead having a J- or J-spur shape comprises, consists essentially of, or consists of an item, e.g., sheet metal, formed in a bent shape. The shape is formed of a first section, followed by a second section, a third section, and a fourth section. Alone, the casing bead's first and fourth sections may have interior uninterrupted facing surfaces, and the second section is substantially perpendicular to the first and fourth sections.

A corner drywall section has a drywall corner extending vertically from a floor to a ceiling. Further, the corner drywall section has a first wing extending a first side of the drywall corner at a first angle such that the first wing extends horizontally to a first stud, the first wing extending vertically from the floor to the ceiling and a second wing extending from a second side of the drywall corner at a second angle such that the second wing extends horizontally to a second stud, the second wing extending vertically from the floor to the ceiling, wherein the drywall corner, the first wing, and the second wing are a unitary piece of drywall.

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 at a head of wall joint by positioning the first leg and strip along the top edge of a wallboard panel and the second leg extending vertically downward along the outer surface of the wallboard panel.

Drainage channels are added to a control joint to provide a weeping control joint wherein condensate or other sources of water that finds its way between the stucco and the substrate, above the weeping control joint, flows through the channels to the exterior surface of the stucco below the weeping control joint.

The construction element includes: a corner-forming surface that that is shaped to extend, in a cross-sectional view, between two separate wall panels, such that ends of the corner-forming surface, as viewed in the cross-sectional view, substantially match respective corners of the wall panels. The construction element may be provided in multiple sections that are placed end to end and connected together.

An adhesive backed window trim bendable and divisible along a hinge separating the trim into two strips with score lines in each strip. A nub is formed along the side edges of the window trim for use in providing a finished edge concealing the adhesive when the undivided trim or the trim strips are used during installation of a replacement window or the like. The trim is co-extruded from a rigid PVC and plasticized PVC with shallow furrows on the rear face forming the score lines.
