Hey Guys, I’ve removed our old cornice and there are some gashes / rough points.
If I sand back and apply this with plaster, will it come out okay?
Or do we need new board in that section?

[@InvestAndGrow2020]

Question. Is there a gap between the upright wall and the ceiling/Z bead. As in how do you cover the 90 degree angle? Hope I’m exposing myself right

[@turnkeyconstruction]

In their example yes there is a gap. If it has to be a fire rated assembly this would fail. However it is cool. If one were to do this on a wall with blown in insulation above that would need to be caulked to prevent dirt and dust from blowing in from the attic.

[@claudebai725]

agree with you, that small hair line gap between wall board and bead edge needs to be worked with, otherwise dust from ceiling void will come inside the room. they need to invent a better system with vertical leg flush with wall board.

[@ledzepp71]

Dude that's really cool. But when I saw your Idea I thought of only one thing. See Im all about lighting and that is perfect,, I took your idea and then put tape lighting in that channel all the way around the room color changing on a dimmer, voice command it looks like the lights are coming down from inside the ceiling. Bangin! Thanks

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

That sounds AMAZING- we’d love to see that 👍

[@edgarso3175]

Thats great and I hope you used an aluminum bead. If not, that's quite close to fire hazard since LED strip heats up quite a bit. Worst case scenario since it will not be able to cool, the LED strip will die on you quickly.
Here in Europe we use aluminum profiles only for LED solutions for the reasons listed. Other than that, that's what I wanna do on the floor and ceiling on my next project. Looks great. 😊

Why cut after installing drywall rather than installing smaller panel

[@jackiecrowe-talma2169]

We are actually in the middle of a project. We have a few areas in our home where the ceiling and wall meet the seam cracks. This has been a reoccurring problem. I'm wondering if this would help. Also I love the look

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

It would certainly ‘help’ in that the two areas don’t technically connect with this method. The company that makes this bead also makes products specifically to allow for movement between different wall assemblies, which sounds like it might be right up your alley. We have a video on that product (called magic bead), and I’ll also add a link to the product below. You should browse some of their different options, as well- they have beads for virtually every situation you can think of 👍

[@mrbuster7255]

Did you use marmorino on the walls as a finish???

[@PedroMartinez-me9pv]

Hi, very nice finish, what is the spray can? Is it 847 trim Tex adhesive? Could you please confirm.

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

You nailed it. Consider it confirmed 👍

[@MaxGDesign]

Did you paint the Z channel afterwards? Can you buy it in black?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

We painted it👍 it only comes in white

[@cg3356]

Nice work. Do you leave the tapered edge of the wall boards flushed with the ceiling trusses? Wondering if the tapered edge maybe needs to be trimmed, so it's easier/cleaner to install the bead.

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

Great question 👍 in our experience it doesn’t make as big of a difference as you’d think it would. If the backing that is adjacent to the bead goes high enough, the slight change in bead angle due to the bevel is almost undetectable. In an ideal situation, you’d have a whole perimeter of non-tapered edges, but in most cases that’s not just not possible 👍

[@Dog3D]

​@@RefreshHomeImprovements Im curioius, if you were to need to trim the edges, what's the best way to go about it? Also great job on the installation!

[@MarPF]

Did you use special limewash paint to get the effect on the walls or how did you get the limewash result?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

It’s more of a faux Venetian plaster. We have a full tutorial on that! It’s super easy.
Look for “Textured Wall Finish” on our page!

[@wayneberry9157]

How did you cut the drywall on the ceiling and your hair and clothing remain dust free?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

That Makita drywall cutout tool is incredible

[@juanpereyra9743]

Could this z bead be used for the base board to create the shadow Reveal?

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

You read our mind! Except we used an F-bead. You’ll see that video on our page too!

[@juanpereyra9743]

@@RefreshHomeImprovements I watched it like 10x lol which made me wonder if the z bead is ideal for base boards too. Thank you for the great content!

[@gradmihaialexandru3445]

Hello someoane have this PVC profile în Europa?
Cane someoane gaide me where I find this, I am from România.
Please help! 😢

[@michaelforte6108]

Nice. Just wish that there were some closeups, and less camera movement… very busy shots make it difficult to focus on the details; but the project looks great. Thanks for sharing

[@MrTHEBRITINWA]

Firewall issue ?

[@rdy4trvl]

I'm not a builder but I can't imagine that would pass code. I think they really need another layer of drywall on the ceiling. I'd love to hear TT address this.

[@lestalkmorebasss]

Very anti crown molding lol

[@RefreshHomeImprovements]

😂👍

[@Victoria.Gold247]

This doesn’t seem functional. What happens when something spills in the floor. The baseboards aren’t sealed on the bottom and you cut into the drywall. What is behind it making it water proof? What about keeping bugs out? What about insulation? I understand it presses against the floor, but that doesn’t create a seal. There is zero weather stripping, just nothing. When you apply baseboards they go on top of the drywall which acts as an insulation barrier and then you caulk it to seal the top. And you literally cut into that barrier on the bottom making it vulnerable, and then You don’t seal the bottom of your floor.
