Good / bad Corner protectors for exposed corners, Plasterboard

[JanneSjo]

What experiences do you have with corner protectors for gypsum outer corners?

There are many variants, for example:

ByggMax

Biltema has several both plastic and metal

Gyproc that are glued

There are also different types of metal in regular hardware stores, for example this one at Krauta

I need a 2.9m and a 2.4m - which limits the selection a bit.

But the question is, which corner protectors do you think have worked well or poorly?

Used Gyprocs which I think work well and they are available in the lengths you are asking for.

Have used metal variants but don't have the kind of pliers to attach them, so I usually kind of nail them, feels a bit half-assed to nail into drywall, but once the putty is there it has stayed.

Last time I used Gyproc's ones you glue (sprayed with water before mounting) as they were wider (had been sloppy), they were okay, but I also used a staple gun for fixing.

If I were to do it again, I would probably go with the glue variant (easy to cut too).

The ones you spray water on are also easier to plaster since it creates an edge to plaster against.

Stupid with the staple gun. High risk of rust.

I used gyproc...

In the end, at least... I had a thinner model earlier and the painters condemned them so I had to go to Beijer and buy new ones... For the whole house and work all night...

But then it turned out good
