Coved metal corner bead for around doors and windows

pam kueber - Updated: November 10, 2020

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

It’s been a while since I posted — as I am in the midst of a kitchen renovation. You understand. As part of that project my contractor searched high and low for ‘coved’ metal drywall finishing trim to match the really great stuff already in the house. He couldn’t find it — but after a 30 minute internet search, I did. It’s a great look for modern houses, very sleek. In my 1951 ranch, the original builder/homeowner features traditional colonial trim in all the public areas (living room, dining room, foyer). But: This sleek, modern trim look was used in the two bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens.

Link: Dietrich Metal is the supplier — I can’t insert the photo from their PDF page. Go to: Products / Metal Beads and Trims / Metal Corner Beads / J Round Bullnose. Well, that’s what I used, at least.
