Corner Guards

[EntropyControlSpecialist]

Two wall corners are looking pretty banged up and despite patching and repainting, they go back to looking rough quickly.

I would like to get clear corner guards. Does anybody have any that they love?

I was thinking of doing the same thing. My walls are painted but you can see white patches on the corners and some even the metal ribbon they put on the edges. So i was thinking of doing the same thing!

We have something similar to this.

They are a bit spendy but I have never had to replace them and I haven't had to do any repairing of the walls either so worth it in the long run. I have had them for almost 17 years now.

I noticed the company also sells colored textured corner guards too!

That is exactly the issue here! 4 months in and the beautiful corners look awful. ::

We have rounded corners.

We actually ddin't like them much, because they are a pain to blend corners when you are painting. But now I realize I am glad we have them! No wear at all after 3 yrs of daycare!

We have the rounded wall courners also! I love them, give a whole different architectural look.

I got the basic clear ones from Lowes/Home Depot - was like $4 for a long strip.

don't they sell the peel and stick ones, you can try them.

I read bad reviews for them. :: They, apparently, fall off. My corners would look even worse!

my parents have them, but they had them for years. Can you put wood trim around the openings, like moldings you put around doors. and paint them white, that would look nice and they wouldn't look so daycarish.

We looked at a house that had clear ones that were screwed into the wall, and honestly they didn't look bad at all. i actualy really liked them and have been thinking for awhile of getting them. Especially now that I'm taking on an infant. I think I'm just going to go ahead and get them. For me the wood trim wouldn't work because my entry ways and edges of my hall goes up to the ceiling so it would look weird. The trip would have no where to go on top. The guards I saw went up to about chair height and I really liiked them. I think I'll check out home depot and try them out... After I fix the corners LOL

How did you get the corners to look sharp? Mine don't have a nice "point" if that makes sense.

I will look into this further. Thank you for the idea!
