Advice for tape and joint plasterboard/corners etc

[drives]

Hi all,

I've almost finished boarding out an attic room (using insulated plasterboard; just a few bits left such as the velux reveals and boarding the ceiling) so next step will be the finishing. The plasterboard is tape and joint/tapered edge and I have a variety of different anges where the boards join and was hoping to get a bit of advice.

For external corners e.g. edges of window reveals, should I be using the metal beading strips, such as this and then just taper off the plaster skim as I work away from the edge?

For the other obtuse angled joints I was thinking of using this...

Between the boards themselves the flat joins I was just going to use normal jointing tape. Does this sound about right? I've added a photo of a section of the room which hopefully helps explain what I have in terms of corners etc.

I guess taping and jointing isn't that commonly used over here so just thought I'd update as might be a useful reference for anyone considering similar.

I proceeded as above and used the reinforced tape for all of the corners. This required embedding in the jointing compound, then skimming over it twice to get the required finish and to ensure that it wasn't visible through the final skim and paint.

All in all it was a lot of time and effort, and a lot of sanding (probably not helped by all of the different angles that I was working with), but overall worth it and I could get it how I wanted.

drives,
The finished job looks great.
That cant have been anything but hard work, and learning as you went - well done.
I especially like the clean angle lines.

US Drywallers esp. on larger construction sites are something to see: sometimes its all production stuff broken down into specialist parts such as Hangers and Tapers & even Sanders.
With union labor'ers erecting & dismantling lifts and platforms, & moving stuff from the packs.
All kinds of weird & wonderful tools are used. Great pay & conditions for union people.
But the bottom line is, esp for hanging, its grinding work (young people only need apply) that I've never done or wanted to do.

Thanks! The angle lines around the window reveals I was quite pleased with. I think our plasterer quoted me £1600 to board the whole room and skim (me supplying boards) which on reflection was quite good value as this did take a long time- photo only shows half the room and there's another velux window. There is something uniquely satisfying though with getting a tape and joint spot on. I should clarify (having re-read my initial post) that I just used reinforced tape rather than beading.
