Control Joint (PL093) is a flexible control joint for use in wall and ceiling design to control movement. The Control Joint has removable tape to protect “V” groove during installation. The flanges have holes to ensure a positive bond of drywall mud to the surface of the board. It also has a built-in 1/l6″ (2 mm) stops to ensure proper drywall thickness. Flanges are placed on top of two separated sheets of sheathing with “V” groove placed between separated board.
Plastic Component’s has designed these products specifically for direct applied finish (DEFS) systems to protect and ensure straight corners. These products include casing beads for raw cut edges, wide flange “L” beads for adjusting to uneven cut board. And also include starter tracks that eliminate the need for expensive back wrapping, control joints to relieve movement, vents that enhance air flow in soffit areas, and decorative reveals, just for good looks.
Field engineered to save time and provide integrity to the direct applied finish system, Plastic Components manufactures them with exterior grade, lead-free PVC material conforming to ASTM standard D1784.
