Corner guards protect building corners in four main application areas: industrial and warehouse halls, hospitals and care facilities, public buildings and hotels, and exterior facades and balconies.
In warehouses and industrial halls, forklifts, pallet trucks, and roller containers regularly hit corners — here, aluminium guards in black (contrast) or V2A stainless steel are mostly used. In hospitals, care homes, and hotels, the issue is hospital beds, trolleys, and high-frequency foot traffic; here, white powder-coated aluminium guards are often used, which optically blend in with the wall. Public buildings like train stations or schools need particularly robust stainless steel versions. For exterior facades, terraces, and balconies, only V2A stainless steel or high-quality coated aluminium makes sense.
Distinction from impact walls: Impact walls are large-area, padded wall elements for hospital wards or kindergarten corridors. Corner guards protect the corner at a specific point, not surfaces.
