3WAY Drywall Supplies and the Three-Way Drywall Corner Problem
3WAY Drywall Supplies makes a reinforced drywall corner system for the difficult three-way drywall corner where two walls meet the ceiling. The product is designed to simplify installation, reduce sanding and mud work, and lower cracking and repair work in modular construction.
What the product does
- Reduces the skill level needed to finish complex drywall corners.
- Speeds up installation.
- Leaves the interior portion essentially paint-ready.
- Helps reduce sanding, mud work, and repairs.
Why it matters in modular construction
- Modular buildings experience movement and vibration during transport.
- That movement can cause drywall corner cracking.
- The reinforced design is meant to better withstand transportation stress.
- It can reduce repair work at the end of production and after onsite installation.
Company background
- Steven Brown began in drywall finishing nearly a decade ago.
- The product concept started at a kitchen table using folded paper prototypes inspired by origami.
- What began as training for a new employee became a patented drywall solution.
- The company connected with WESCO, which helped expand its reach in modular and construction markets.
