What do I use to protect my drywall corners?

Question

The corners of my drywall are so beat-up!  After I do repairs, what would I use to cover/protect them from the abuse they must endure?  Can I paint the protective covers?  Where would I even buy them?

At Lowes, anywhere like that, they have plastic corner protectors. Fit right over the edges. Can get clear, white, light tan??? I used clear and sure saved a lot of cringes

The big box stores sell outside corner molding in wood.

Our local grocer has bumper guards on the floor near the end caps because people are constantly running into it with their shopping carts.

Hi Tina. They sell clear plastic pieces that go on the corners. They just nail in. They also sell wood ones that are more attractive. You can stain them. I wouldn't paint the plastic ones. The paint would probably chip off in time and have a different finish than the walls. You can buy these at home improvement stores like Lowes and Home Depot.

You can buy inexpensive, long, clear plastic corner covers made specifically for your problem. They can be bought at places like Home Depot or Lowe's.

Hello Tina,

You can by an 'L' shaped corner protect strip in clear or white plastic or timber that can be painted. Available from DIY stores.
