May 1, 20233 yr Evening. I've got my internal partition walls frames up, and will begin to add plasterboard soon. Will I be able to form an external corner with tapered edge boards, or should either I cut the boards to create a full edge, or buy boards without a taper for the purpose of forming the corner? Cheers!

Some people say it makes it harder to fit the corner bead if you've used tapered boards. It doesn't make it harder, just there is not much meat left between the coat on the thicker ( main ) part of the board vs where the edge of the skim bead lives.

The alternative is square edge boards then the bead goes on, then when you fit your skirting you find the wall kicks out for the last few inches to the corner.

It makes no difference having tapered edges I can’t remember the last time I used square edged boards More than ten years ago You don’t see them on sites
