How to install drywall window returns

Drywall window returns are a very popular option. You can do a 3/4 wrap or a full wrap window. In the video I am using NoCoat Outside 90 corner bead sticks. They are a structural laminate drywall corner product that you install using taping compound.

Taper with 47 years experience here, you need to keep the rock a quarter of an inch away from the inside of the window frame and absolutely install tear away to keep moisture from the rock, otherwise in time you'll get mold where the rock meets the frame

Amazing technique! I've never seen that tape in the corner detail. And I've never seen that roller! I'm a remodeling contractor, so yeah. But I appreciate your craftswomanship!

Will you also show at a later instance how you coat and finish off the window? I would be very interested to see that being done!❤

Leave a 1/8” gap between the window and the drywall, and use moisture resistant drywall. Use dyna flex or similar quality caulk to fill gap. This prevents condensation from wicking into your drywall, and creating mold.

Great video. I would also love to see how you cut and install the drywall before you do the corners! Will you post one of the next one you do?

Thanks Shorty. U enjoy your videos. I'm primarily a painter but still do lots of other construction including drywall. IMO drywl is more of an artform then a tradecraft. Dont get me wrong ita obviously a trade but I know lots of tradesmen not many tradeswomen but they tend to do pretty ok when doing work outside of there trade, except drywall.
I'd also add it was nice to hear your voice yo till no I've only seen shorts. No pun intended 😁

Do you ever put mash tape on the side of the beads

Hi! When planning to tile around a kitchen window, what type of corner bead would you suggest if new drywall is being installed? Or not necessary to add a corner bead? Thanks in advance @drywallshorty

Why did you pre-tape the upper corners? I didnt quite understand the explanation.

[Ketchupbelongsonsteak]

Hang the returns first and there is no hole in the corners. Thats my tip for today.

get a hopper and run that bead through it

I really want to watch this but the damn lighting or something is off and driving me nuts
