Abstract
Described herein is a drywall apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a finishing drywall liner, a framing drywall liner, a first gypsum-containing segment between the finishing drywall liner and the framing drywall liner, and a second gypsum-containing segment between the finishing drywall liner and the framing drywall liner. The first segment and the second segment are connected by a hinge formed from the finishing drywall liner and the framing drywall liner to allow an angle between the first segment and the second segment to vary.
Claims2
A drywall apparatus comprising:
- a finishing drywall liner;
- a framing drywall liner;
- a first gypsum-containing segment between the finishing drywall liner and the framing drywall liner;
- and
- a second gypsum-containing segment between the finishing drywall liner and the framing drywall liner, said first gypsum-containing segment and second gypsum-containing segment connected by a hinge formed from the finishing drywall liner and the framing drywall liner to allow an angle between the first gypsum-containing segment and the second gypsum-containing segment to vary, such that the hinge allows the first gypsum-containing segment and the second gypsum-containing segment to assume a flat position in which the first gypsum-containing segment and the second gypsum-containing segment are coplanar, wherein a) in the flat position, the framing drywall liner includes a groove having a longitudinal length running along the hinge, b) the hinge allows the first gypsum-containing segment and the second gypsum-containing segment to assume a corner position in which the first gypsum-containing segment and the second gypsum-containing segment form an angle therebetween of 90 degrees and c) the framing drywall liner is integral across the groove for most of the longitudinal length, further comprising:
- a first flap hingeably connected to the first gypsum-containing segment;
- and a second flap hingeably connected to the second gypsum-containing segment, wherein the apparatus can assume a corner configuration in which the first flap and the second flap lie on one plane, the first gypsum-containing segment lies on a second plane and the second gypsum-containing segment lies on a third plane such that the first plane, the second plane and the third plane are mutually orthogonal.
