Carrying out repair work, one often has to deal with such a problem as uneven slopes and corners. For plastering such surfaces and giving them the necessary geometry, a painting corner is a very popular device.
Advantages of the paint corner
This item is made of materials resistant to corrosion, so it can be used when working both indoors and outdoors.
Due to the perforation over the entire length of the perforation angle, its high-quality fixation is ensured during finishing work, which prevents slipping and reduces the weight load on the base. In addition, perforation allows the use of a paint corner as an auxiliary level.
Convenience in work is achieved due to the fact that this device is installed quite simply. It is only necessary to press the profile into the putty applied to the external corner and cover it with a second layer of solution. Light weight, durability and safety for health complete the list of its advantages.
Types of painting corners
The perforated paint corner is a long profile. There are several types of corners depending on the material used in their manufacture and purpose.
For cladding, reinforcing various structures inside and outside the room is most suitable made of aluminum. It has standard sizes (30x30 and 50x50 centimeters) and can be of different lengths.
Galvanized paint corner is designed mainly to strengthen drywall partitions. A special fiberglass mesh is attached to the shelves of the corner, which provides more reliable grip and additional fasteners during installation. This guarantees the durability and special strength of the outer corner.
A plastic corner is used to decorate the external corners of the room and protect them from abrasion. It has a wide variety of colors, which allows you to choose the most suitable for the color of the wallpaper.
Where particularly high-quality reinforcement is required, a corner with a painting or metal mesh is used.
An arched paint corner helps to easily give the structure the desired curved shape, if you need to install an arch. It is made of both aluminum and plastic.
Application of the paint corner
Installation begins with measurement. First you need to measure the required size and cut. For example, to finish a window opening you will need 3 corners. Then a putty solution specially designed for this purpose is prepared. You can apply a mixture of plaster and putty in a ratio of 1: 1. At the angle that needs to be leveled, the prepared solution is applied along the entire length. After this, a painting corner is installed, while alignment is done using a rule or a building level.
When decorating almost any internal structures, this device can be used: window and door slopes, niches, walls and other various external corners. The corner serves as an effective protection for all corner elements that are inside or outside the room.
