Paper drywall tape with a galvanized strip is a type of joint tape used in the drywall installation process. It is a combination of paper tape and a galvanized metal strip running down the center of the tape. The galvanized strip provides an extra layer of reinforcement to the joint and helps prevent cracking or separation in the future.
Paper perforated drywall joint tape is a type of tape used to reinforce seams between drywall panels. The paper tape is perforated every few inches to allow for easy application of joint compound, which fills in and covers the tape to create a smooth, seamless finish. The tape is made from a durable paper material that resists tearing and is also easy to cut to size. The perforations in the tape allow the joint compound to seep through, creating a stronger bond between the tape and the drywall. Paper perforated drywall joint tape is commonly used by professional contractors and DIYers alike for both drywall installation and repair projects.
