I have an idea that would be great for drywall manufacturers that are not happy being in 4th, 3rd, or 2nd place in the market. A simple idea, with the potential to make a huge impact on a complacent industry. It would seem to me that a product that reduces time, materials, skilled labor and health risks would be a superior product in today’s economy.

The *TAPE/LESS Drywall System would be ideal for large and small contractors as well as the do it yourself people who would normally hang drywall (Sheetrock, plasterboard, gypsum board) themselves and more often than not, hire finishers to tape and mud adding time and money to the project. In today’s economy any material or technique that decreases labor costs by reducing the time it takes to finish any particular part in construction would be welcomed by contractors and do-it yourselfers alike.

The TAPE/LESS System will take drywall into the 21st Century and be truly a unique and novel product. My system cuts drywall finishing time, labor & materials costs, a substantial savings to the building industry. What makes this product unique from the thousands of other inventions pertaining to drywall tape and taping machines out there that this is the only system that is incorporated into the drywall itself during the manufacturing process? A tab that runs the length of the wallboard that could be either mudded conventionally, glued, or includes a self-adhesive strip to create a smooth transition with only a small gap to fill. Perfect inside corners too. Less sanding could even reduce the risk of scoliosis or lung cancer due to inhaling silica, mica, talc, ect. found in joint compounds. I would think that a product like this could either gain or maintain a competitive edge in such a market where demand is increasing yearly. In my opinion, this is the biggest innovation to the industry since drywall replaced lattice and plaster construction.
