Do You Use Corner Bead Under Tile

If you don’t put corner bead on the corner behind the tile, then the corner bead above the chair rail will flare out anyhow, and the flare will be noticeable when the corner bead covers up part of the top of the chair rail. From what I’ve read elsewhere, you don’t put corner bead behind tile.

What is the purpose of installing corner bead?

Installed on the outside corners where two pieces of drywall meet, corner beads create a smooth, even seam and an attractive finish. Luckily for homeowners, installing corner beads and mudding them is one of the easier parts of the drywall process.

Should tile overlap in corners?

When you tile the other side of the corner, the tiles should overlap, but make sure you leave a clearance gap between them (place a spacer). Next, use caulk to fill the corner gap, as a regular grout isn’t flexible and would crack in a few months.
