How to protect the corners of the walls

When you restructure a home and especially the walls making them smooth and squared, it should protect the parts most prone to stains that can be caused by accidental kicks or children playing. However, it is of fundamental importance to protect the corners of the walls as delicate and subject to crumble, losing the linearity that distinguishes them. In this guide, we try to find out what are the best systems to safeguard the corners of the walls .

The most common system is to use the classic "edge guard" or the rods of plastic or aluminum which serve to frame the corners of walls or the pane of a window or balcony compartment. If you want to opt for this solution, we can do it in a better way also to maintain the environment elegant home. In fact it is possible to buy the angular wood salable to rods of about 3 meters each, which can be easily cut to size of the edge to be covered. This is done with a hacksaw as it is soft wood covered with a patina colored with different shades of wood and grain.



If the wall edges is particularly prone to frequent passages of persons or things, you should instead use the angle iron that after being installed must be finished with anti-rust and paint. If we intend to treat an angle in a better way, then it should instead use the classic rod at an angle, of the sheets of plywood plain natural or already pre-finished so as to create a box that extends from both the sides of the angle to about 20 centimeters each. In this case, the angle is kept alive by the two offset and overlapping sides that extend towards the wide part of the wall , is realized an exhibition of wood which acts as a crank. This system is especially if it is applied in the corners of windows and balconies in that it has a particular effect from the point of view of the furniture and pleasing to the eye.

In home can however happen that one or more corners instead of being continuous are positioned in depth to the two walls, so if we are to protect the angular insert of wood or aluminum with the concave side turned toward us However many people prefer to protect this kind of angle with the cord of cloth starting from the floor reaches the attic in the direction of the chandelier. In this way, it is also to indirectly create a frame composed of many segments, which can then be finished with shades of different colors or even with wooden beads to create a mansard roof type.
