Corner guards are protective fixtures installed along wall edges or structural corners. In busy environments, they shield corners from damage caused by carts, machinery, and daily traffic. By absorbing impact, corner guards prevent costly repairs and enhance safety by minimizing sharp edges.

Corner guards come in various materials and designs. Aluminium corner guards are ideal for long-term durability and can be used in heavy-duty environments. Rubber corner guards are more flexible and better suited for areas with moderate traffic where softer impacts occur. Both types offer valuable protection, but the choice depends on the level of impact and the setting’s requirements.

Aluminium corner guards provide robust protection and are suited for environments where machinery or heavy equipment may come into contact with walls. They are durable and resist wear over time, making them perfect for loading docks, warehouses, and industrial facilities. Rubber guards, on the other hand, are ideal for areas where flexibility and softer protection are beneficial, such as around pedestrian zones or lighter traffic areas.

Light-duty corner protectors are designed for moderate protection, suitable for low-impact areas. For example, light-duty protectors like those measuring 200mm x 100mm with a weight rating of 4250kg are typically used in areas with foot traffic or light equipment. They’re ideal for preventing minor scrapes and scratches without the added bulk of heavy-duty protectors.

Yes, most corner guards are designed for straightforward installation. Aluminium guards may require mounting hardware or adhesive for secure placement, while rubber guards can often be fixed with industrial-grade adhesives, making them easy to apply to different surfaces.

Maintenance is minimal; simply check for any signs of wear periodically. Wipe down the guards to keep them clean, especially in high-traffic areas. Aluminium guards may need occasional polishing, while rubber guards can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Routine inspection helps ensure they remain effective in protecting corners from damage.

Yes, both aluminium and rubber corner guards can be used outdoors, though rubber is particularly well-suited to outdoor use as it’s weather-resistant and doesn’t corrode. For outdoor applications, consider the level of exposure to elements and opt for guards designed to withstand specific conditions.
