Wall mounted deflection bead.

Wall mounted deflection bead. Wall mounted deflection bead prevents inside corner cracking when installed against a ceiling or concrete deck that may be subject to movement. Fill the void shown in with fire caulk or cavity materialsfigure a specifiedbythearchitect. Typically caulk or a flexible gasket such as wall mounted deflection bead is installed that can compress under load sparing the less flexible materials like concrete and drywall from having to bear the burden of building movement.

Rated 5 based on 1 product reviews. Deflection beads prevent inside corner ceiling cracking due to deflection in multistory structures. Provides protection for up to 7 16 of deflection. Protects up to 7 16 of deflection.

Wall mounted deflection bead features a flexible gasket that expands and contracts under building movement preventing cracks from occurring in the ceiling due to deflection. Snip your bead to length and dry fit to the wall creating a seal between the flexible gasket and the ceiling. The ceiling mounted deflection bead is mounted to the roof deck allowing the bead to slide up and down the wall vertically with building deflection while retaining a crack free inside corner. Flexible gasket compresses and expands during deflection.

A co extruded flexible gasket compresses and expands during deflection. 2 options view request samples. For more information on the effects of building movement on interior finishes check out this free course.
