Eliminates ceiling cracks and straightens uneven framing.
X-Crack’s rigid design, hinged backbone, and flexible tab design will straighten all uneven framing members. This pre-straightening of sub-structure will eliminate the need of all pre-filling due to irregularities of framing members. It makes easy work of intricate ceiling applications that have no backing.

Let X-Crack float over irregular framing members to create a straight line. Six screws per length is all that is required to hold X-Crack in place. The last screws in the field secures drywall to ceiling - and the screws through drywall into body of X-Crack secures inside corners. Install drywall over X-Crack with fine or coarse drywall screws.
X-Crack’s patented hinge and flexible tab design holds drywall joints stationary while structural framing members are allowed to move independently of the drywall.
Adjust X-Crack to desired angle and use drywall screws to fasten it to ceiling framing members. Install drywall over X-Crack using fine or coarse threaded screws – be sure screws only penetrate drywall and X-Crack but miss trusses or ceiling joists by 2 to 4 inches. You must install the last screws in the field 10 to 12 inches away from X-Crack to allow for lumber movement. By missing the framing members and fastening drywall boards only to X-Crack; finished inside corners will not move or crack. Use Strait-Flex Mid-Flex250 or Mid-Flex300 flexible corner trim to complete installation.
NO SCREW SHOULD PENETRATE ALL THREE MATERIALS
(Drywall - X-Crack - Framing Members)
