Corner protectors have advantages such as corrosion resistance, impact resistance, aging resistance, good adhesion, and full bonding with putty, greatly enhancing the impact resistance of wall corners, maintaining the long-term aesthetic of wall corners without damage. They can be constructed simultaneously with the main project, eliminating the need for a ruler during use, making operation simple and achieving construction efficiency that is generally 2-5 times higher, simplifying the construction process, accelerating construction speed, reducing project costs, and improving project quality.
Corner protectors are relatively inexpensive; the increase in construction speed by using corner protectors can save enough construction costs to surpass the increased material costs incurred by their use, while the significant improvement in the quality of building decoration is our substantial net gain.
Currently, there are metal and plastic corner protectors. The advantage of metal is its durability and long lifespan; the downside is that it is prone to rust, and once rust penetrates the surface coating, the wall corners can become dirty and unsightly. The emerging plastic corner protectors can avoid rusting, and although they are not as sturdy as traditional metal corner protectors, they are more convenient to use.
Generally, corner protectors are shaped at a 90° angle, allowing them to slide between the floor and ceiling of the wall. Once straightened, they can be attached to the wall corner. Corner protectors can be used on external corners of walls as well as internal corners, and they can be easily secured. Installing corner protectors is not a difficult task; during installation, it is necessary to cover the wall with putty, including covering nail holes and the edges of the corner protector to bond it with the wall, and then paint the wall, ensuring that the corner protector is also colored during this process.
In developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan, and Australia, corner protectors have long been widely used. In recent years, due to their inherent advantages, they have also been increasingly favored by building decoration merchants in mainland China. In the near future, corner protectors are sure to be rapidly popularized in China.
