Drywalling Over LVL Beam Bolts??

Shannon K.
  • Buffalo, NY
Posted

Hi everyone,

I'm in the middle of a flip and we've just put up a nice big LVL beam to make an open concept kitchen. I'd like to spend today bracketing & metal strapping the LVL beam into the existing structures, but I'm not clear on how to drywall OVER the bolts on the beam later on?

The screws I have which are rated for use with these metal brackets have fat bolt heads on them. They don't recess flat. 

How do I drywall over these big bolt heads to get a smooth finish with drywall later? I can't visualize a clear process for this. Any help please?
