Paul T Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Respected DIYers of Pigeon Watch, I'll be decorating the kitchen again prior to Christmas and I'm wanting to protect a small internal wall corner next to the door. Basically, 4 dogs make a real mess of the paintwork by bouncing up or rubbing past and the constant cleaning is a pain. I was thinking some sheet polycarbonate screw fixed might do the trick, but how can I join it at the external corner to make it more robust? Solvent weld? Any other suggestions?

clanchief Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Some of the pvc type bathroom sheeting that is now getting used in place of tiles would do, and they have external/internal beads and corners that would only require siliconing on.

grrclark Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 You can get ready made corner pieces for exactly what you are describing. http://www.floorandwallsolutions.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=162_217 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marki Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 we used some of the mdf panelling. Looks nice enough and easy to clean once it was varnished. Hopefully this picture explains it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) You can heat the plastic with a strip heater and bend it to shape! Short of that you could perhaps resin the joint?

Flashman Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 The clear splash-back plastic that kitchen fitters use is quite hard wearing. Look in the Howdens-type catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just done a kitchen in it and your welcome to what I have left over Top offer mate - thanks very much for that. Unfortunately blue isn't the right colour. Ideally, the clear stuff is what I need as I can change the wall paint colour to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peck Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Surely it will still need cleaning so what's the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
