Corner guards are made from durable materials such as stainless steel, rubber, or foam. These material options are designed to absorb and distribute the force of impact, protecting the corner, adjacent surfaces and vehicles/equipment from damage. This helps ensure both traffic safety and longevity of your premises.
Corner guards are mainly used for wall protection. They prevent expensive and time-consuming damage repairs, which can and will occur in high traffic areas. They protect and minimise all kinds of scratches, dents, and cracks in walls, corners, and other surfaces. As an exazmplem, this feature is particularly important in healthcare settings, where damaged walls can not only be difficult to clean, but may also contain bacteria or other contaminants.
To make things easy, Enforcer Group stock a wide variety of shapes, sizes and types of guards to fit different your premises using adhesives or fasteners. Not to mention the availability of colours and finishes to suit your visual requirements.
Corner guards are heavy duty and require little maintenance. They are also easy to install and provide long-lasting protection against damage. However, regular cleaning and inspection helps ensure that guards are functioning properly and continuing to provide necessary protection.
Types of Wall Protection Available
Steel Corner Guards
Durability: Steel corner guards are highly durable and can withstand heavy impacts and frequent collisions. They work well in busy environments, such as industrial areas, high-traffic buildings, warehouses, loading docks, and areas with heavy machinery traffic.
Protection: Steel corner guards provide long-lasting protection against damage to corners, edges, and walls. You can rely on them in preventing dents, scratches, and other forms of wear and tear that can happen from collisions.
High-Impact Environments: Steel corner guards are commonly used in areas where vehicles and other heavy equipment are in use. Their sturdiness makes them a reliable option for preventing damage caused by accidental impacts.
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel corner guards offer corrosion-resistant coatings or finishes to ensure they remain effective even in environments with moisture or exposure to particular harsh chemicals.
Mounting Options: You can use screws or bolts in mounting steel corner guards. Some models have pre-drilled holes for easy installation.
Cost Considerations: Steel corner guards are generally more expensive than rubber corner guards because of the higher cost of materials and manufacturing. However, their longevity and protection capabilities can make them a cost-effective solution over time in environments that demand substantial durability.
Rubber Corner Guards
Protection: Rubber corner guards protect walls, columns, equipment, furniture, and objects from accidental impacts by covering corners and edges. They help prevent unsightly damage and maintain the appearance of interior spaces.
Safety: Rubber corner guards are used in busy places such as warehouses, parking garages, and loading docks. They help to increase safety by reducing the risk of injuries. They create a cushioning effect that minimizes the impact force, making collisions less hazardous for pedestrians.
Durability: Rubber corner guards are often made from durable materials that can withstand repeated impacts without deforming or losing their protective properties. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Easy Installation: Most rubber corner guards are easy to install. They often have pre-drilled holes for screws or adhesive backing for straightforward attachment to corners and edges.
Variety: Rubber corner guards come in various sizes, shapes, and colours to accommodate different types of corners and preferences. Some models also have reflective strips to improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Applications: Rubber corner guards can be used in different settings including parking garages, loading docks, warehouses, commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and more. You can install them in areas where collisions with vehicles, carts, or other equipment are likely to occur.
Maintenance: They are relatively low-maintenance and easy-to-clean. They generally do not require regular upkeep beyond occasional cleaning to remove dirt and debris.
Cost-Effective: Rubber corner guards are the more affordable solution to protecting corners and edges. They help prevent the need for costly repairs and replacements due to damage.Foam Corner Guards
Soft Protection: Foam edge protectors provide a cushioning effect that minimizes the impact force, reducing the risk of scratches, dents, and other types of damage caused by collisions.
Foam Corner Guards
Low-Impact Environments: Foam corner guards are often used in areas where the potential for heavy impacts is relatively low. They are commonly seen in residential settings, child care facilities, schools, hospitals, and nursing homes.
Easy Installation: Foam bumper guards are designed for easy installation. They can be used in tables, desks and other sharp corners. Many models have adhesive tape that allows them to be securely attached to corners and edges without the need for tools or hardware.
Variety: Foam corner guards come in various sizes, shapes, and colors to accommodate different types of corners and match different interior decors.
Temporary Use: Foam corner guards can be used temporarily to protect surfaces during renovations, painting, or other activities that could potentially cause damage.
Cost-Effective: Foam corner guards are generally cost-effective and offer a simple solution for protecting corners and edges from damage.
Maintenance: Foam corner guards are relatively low-maintenance. They can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if needed.
