What are the strips called that protect plaster corners from damage?

I am removing a planter box, and will need to patch the plasterboard when it is out. I need to cover a corner and will need to purchase the aluminium perforated metal right-angle strip that protects the edge from damage. Can someone please tell me the actual name of this stuff so I can order some. Thank You.

Re: Question of what to call it

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @GGK. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question on trims.

 

It sounds like @Brad is on the case, and you now have likely found what you're after. I thought I'd just ask, is it plaster or render? I'm presuming it's outside and likely render, though it could be in an enclosed alfresco area where plaster has been used. Either way, here's the plaster trim and the render trim used in the corners.

 

You should find these step-by-step guides helpful: How to attach and plaster an external angle and How to render corners.

 

Please let us know if you have further questions.
