These include, among other beads and accessories, Sound Gasket, a speedier way to soundproof head-of-wall and bottom-wall joints; super-simple Super Seal-X, which redefines firestoppiong along curtain walls and window mullions; and Shower Bead, the increasingly popular way to save both time and material finishing drywall around shower/tub enclosures.
Trim-Tex promises a profile for every corner and a solution for every problem—including for commercial, multifamily builders.
Super Seal-X
For a flawless finish that complies with recent building code requirements, the fire rated Super Seal-X is the quickest, easiest way to seal off window mullions from the spread of fire, smoke and sound. Its flexible bubble gasket forms a tight, consistent seal against uneven surfaces, and eliminates caulks while preventing unsightly cracks in these movement-prone areas. Available in two colors: pink for easier identification by code compliance inspectors, and black for a less noticeable aesthetic. This product is UL GREENGUARD Gold Certified.
Shower Bead
The must-have solution for finishing around showers and tubs! Shower Bead acts as an oversized Tear Away L Bead, bridging gaps 2” or less between drywall and other substrates. But finishers especially love it for shower/tub enclosures because it uses significantly less mud than filling and paper-taping those sizable gaps, offering a mold-free alternative to paper in damp areas like these.
Sound Gasket
Preventing the passage of noise through head-of-wall joints has never been easier or faster than installing Trim-Tex’s Sound Gasket. This simple drywall accessory—a vinyl profile, bubble gasket (providing ½"-1” of building movement) and adhesive foam—is the most advanced soundproofing solution for wall joints on the market. This product is UL GREENGUARD Gold Certified.
