Corner protection should start with concealed works, so that the integrity of the corner can be better protected from the inside out. Moreover, if the house is lived for a long time, it is prone to aging, and the corners of the wall are the most prone to falling off. Therefore, considering these aspects, corner protection is necessary. Don’t wait until there is a problem to think about protection, as it will be too late.
The commonly used corner protectors include traditional paper corner protectors, PVC corner protectors, metal corner protectors paper tape, and other materials.
Traditional paper corner protectors
1) Advantages: In traditional construction projects, the corners are manually constructed using cement coated sand corners, which is time-consuming and consumable. A slight mistake can easily cause vertical misalignment or uneven walls. Traditional paper corner protection construction is more convenient and can effectively solve the problem of uneven indoor corners.
2) Disadvantages: Although traditional paper corner protectors are convenient to construct, they are not conducive to protecting the internal and external corners of the wall because the hardness of paper corner protectors is relatively low, resulting in poor impact resistance and easy damage to the wall corners.
3) Usage: Anchor the corner mesh strip to the wall, and then use 1:2 cement mortar to smooth it out. However, the current home decoration projects on the market have basically phased out the use of traditional paper corner protectors for wall corner protection.
PVC corner protectors
1) Advantages: PVC corner protectors are waterproof, dustproof, easy to maintain, and can also avoid rust. The material is lightweight, cost-effective, and has a high cost performance ratio.
2) Disadvantages: Although PVC corner protectors can protect wall corners, their high brittleness can easily cause damage during transportation. At the same time, construction is not very convenient, environmentally friendly, and it is not easy to form multiple angles or even curved corners.
3) Usage: When making walls, PVC corner strips will be added between the gypsum layer and the putty layer at the corners of the wall. The function is to straighten and correct the internal and external corners, which to some extent enhances the hardness of the external corners. Even if there are no potholes when hit, it is still easy to leave marks on the surface when scratched.
Metal corner protective paper tape
1) Advantages: Metal corner paper tape is a relatively advanced environmentally friendly decorative material. While improving the impact resistance of wall corners, it can also conveniently complete various angles of wall corners and curved corners, thereby greatly saving labor costs. And the length is not limited, reducing transportation difficulty and cost; The small pores increase the breathability of the material and enhance the adhesion of the reagent.
2) Disadvantage: Compared to traditional paper corner protectors and PVC plastic corner protectors, metal corner protectors are slightly more expensive.
3) Usage: Brush environmentally friendly adhesive on the wall to stick the metal corner protector tape. Due to the characteristics of the metal, right angles can be quickly found and corrected. Therefore, the next step is to directly apply another layer of sealant. Metal corner paper tape is suitable for any wall surface.
