Flat Deflection Bead
This simple solution prevents inside corner cracking when
installed against a ceiling or concrete deck that may be
subject to movement, to be used alongside backing
materials in the head-of-wall gap for a code-compliant
assembly. Its flexible gasket compresses and expands,
providing protection for up to ½” of deflection, while its
tear-o strip leaves a clean finished edge.
