Alternatives for outer corners drywall without corner protectors? How is it done in new construction?

[Argastesnickaren]

But there might still be corners and other parts where you assess that the risk of bumps is low, and then my question was whether it's possible to create nice corners without corner protection. How did they do it in the past before aquabead? Wallpapering? Paper strips?

I think you ultimately save time by using corner protectors. Easy to put on and the corner looks good right away and even after a few years

Possible, but it doesn't work well around patio doors where there is only about 7 cm of plasterboard. It might have been more feasible if I had used beveled edges.

The width of the plaster doesn't matter. Just plaster the entire width neatly and easily. You will regret it if you don't install corner protectors.

The whole thing is a strange overanalysis. Use papphörn and spackle in. It only takes a few minutes.

Well, you could reply like that to all threads here on the forum, I find it an odd comment. Aquabead builds up a bit and is perforated, requiring multiple coats of plaster. Plastering over aquabead on a wall is no problem and I've done it on a couple of outer corners to the wall, but on 7 cm drywall that connects to a new patio door, I don't really feel like it since there's a risk of scratching the patio door frame with the plaster and it becoming a mess. If you're an experienced plasterer or painter, it might be different.

Paper edge protectors, freehand becomes fragile and harder to get straight

I have some in steel and they also work well, but they build up a bit more.

I find the edge on steel strips too round, doesn't look as good, but the function is certainly fine.

Always corner protectors since drywall doesn't withstand impact regardless of type.

I've banged into things with hard drywall and ultraboard, it's surprising, almost nothing happens compared to regular drywall which breaks.

It will probably pass the inspection anyway. 😉

Now I've done a corner that didn't have a beveled edge with a regular paper strip, it turned out great, doesn't build up and is very simple with fabric glue, so thanks for the tip

You seem to have already made up your mind, so why are you even asking?
It's your concern, so do as you please.

Will the corners look nice with steel? Unlike corner protectors in cardboard/plastic, it is a protrusion that is not plastered over; isn't there a risk that this is visible through the paint?

They look nice. I should add that I haven't tested corner protectors in cardboard.

there's no one who uses metal corner protectors anymore, I can't remember when I last saw them on a construction site.
always use cardboard corner protectors

As usual, you have no clue, they are sold and used😉

of course they're sold, just check any building supply stores.
but not used in any major new construction, only used paper.

You cannot base it on your little skewed world, they are indeed used in new construction😉

okay, I disagree.

10 years ago, this task was the responsibility of the carpenter, but in recent years, it has been completely shifted to the painter and thus it has become exclusively corner guards in paper.

10 years ago this task was the carpenter's responsibility, but in recent years it has been entirely transferred to the painter, and as a result, cardboard corner protectors have become the exclusive choice.

That may be the case, but not all construction projects are contracted the same way..
Metal is the only thing that withstands mechanical wear..

absolutely not and there are probably some new productions that still use metal but they are definitely in the minority. as I said, I haven't come across it in a long time.

what is usually done now is that in exposed environments, metal angles or wall protection like acrovyn, which has quickly become very popular, are used externally.

What is commonly done now is that in exposed environments, surface-mounted metal angles or wall guards like acrovyn, which has quickly become very popular, are used.

How do you know this, are you on all construction sites?

How do you know this, are you at all construction sites?

but if you read what I write, I say that I don't know if it's at all construction sites.

but I am involved in lots of projects in one way or another, and there it is always roofing felt
