The textured vinyl with the foam tape would work better.

While it is possible, it is very difficult. We recommend ordering a custom size.

Wallprotex produces vinyl corner guards from top UL fire-rated material.

Rub rail is safest and easiest to cut using a utility knife or box cutter. Using a straight edge, make a few light scoring passes before cutting completely through the material.

Wall sheet is safest and easiest to cut using a utility knife or box cutter. Using a straight edge, make a few light scoring passes before cutting completely through the material.

It is class 1A fire rated.

Sure! If you need to paint a corner guard that isn’t from our WX12 paintable series, there are a few steps we would recommend to ensure good paint adhesion.
1. Sand or scuff the surface of the corner guard using 120 grit sandpaper or a scouring pad
2. Prime the corner guard with a plastics primer
3. Use multiple light coats of paint to avoid drips and uneven paint texture

All custom cut products have a tolerance of +/- 1/8″.

While not recommended, it is possible to cut most types of corner guards in the field. If you need to we recommend using a fine tooth miter saw blade with a minimum of 80 teeth. Always be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Keep in mind that plastic is brittle and has a tendency to crack and break when cutting, and be sure to brace or clamp the material as you cut. If you are uncomfortable with this process, always feel free to contact Customer Service to receive a quote on pre-cut custom length items.

If you need to order a custom length please contact Customer Service for more information. Custom length items may be subject to minimum orders and are non-returnable.

No, adhesive is not included with the purchase of corner guards. If you select "No Fasteners" as your fastening option, you may choose to purchase construction adhesive from us separately. It is listed under the "Accessories" page.

Yes, both the polycarbonate and vinyl tapes are pressure sensitive. When installing corner guards using tape it is important that firm, even pressure is applied to the entire length.

Polycarbonate - Because the tape used on polycarbonate corner guards is a thin film liner, it is intended for use only on smooth wall surfaces. The use of this tape on textured or porous surfaces such as stucco, masonry, and other drywall textures is not recommended. If installation on a highly textured surface is required, consider utilizing the holes and fasteners option.
Vinyl – The foam tape used on vinyl corner guards is the better option when choosing tape as your fastening option. The tape is thicker and more flexible, allowing it to conform to lightly textured or uneven surfaces. If installation on a highly textured surface is required, it is best to consider ordering your parts with no tape or holes and using construction adhesive.

The vinyl corner guards use a double-sided rubber-based foam adhesive with a thickness of 1/32″.

The polycarbonate corner guards use a clear acrylic double-sided adhesive with a clear PET film liner. The tape used on all polycarbonate corner guards is much thinner than the foam tape used on the vinyl corner guards in order to maintain clarity for clear corner guard installations. Please note that this tape should not be used if the wall surface is textured in any way (stucco, wallpaper, etc).

The tape is intended to be a permanent installation method. When installed correctly, removing the corner guard will likely remove paint or drywall. The clear acrylic tape is, however, less permanent than the foam adhesive tape used on the wX3 corner guards, due primarily to the thickness of the clear tape.

‍

Yes, when using construction adhesive the corner guard will be permanently bonded to the wall substrate. Removal of the corner guard will cause damage to the wall surface.

The standard cure time for Loctite PL Premium Polyurethane Adhesive is 24-48 hours, depending on application and environmental conditions.

The number of corner guards will depend on how much adhesive you apply to each, but the typical coverage for would be 30 linear feet with a 1/4" bead of adhesive. Generally speaking, you can install two 8' tall corner guards with a single 10.5oz tube of adhesive.

Check the product documentation for your adhesive to determine if it's compatible; look specifically for PVC to be listed as an approved substrate.

It takes 24 hours to fully cure. You have 30 minutes to reposition the product.

Generally speaking, glue or adhesive should be used whenever you need a permanent or heavy-duty installation. Adhesive is a universal installation method that allows the user to make small adjustments during the install due to its long cure time. It is easy to administer and creates a strong bond on any wall surface.

For most standard drywall installations, a generic construction adhesive is a great choice. There are a wide variety of options available - check the label on your adhesive to ensure that it will work for your specific application.

Yes, all holes drilled into our corner guards are counter sunk to accept the included screws.

The hole spacing depends on the size of corner guard you are selecting. If you need exact measurements, please contact Customer Service.

3/4″ Size – The 3/4″ corner guards do not come with pre-drilled holes due to their size. Instead, included are 1″ long finish drive nails. These are designed to be driven easily directly through the corner guard and provide a finished look.

All other sizes – All sizes except 3/4″ come with pre-drilled countersunk holes. We include #6 x 1″ long nickel plated Phillips-head screws. These are course-thread finish screws intended for installation into drywall.

Corner guards are not intended for exterior use. Prolonged exposure to direct UV light will prematurely deteriorate both vinyl and polycarbonate, affecting color quality and overall durability of the material.

All custom-length products have a tolerance of +/- 1/8".
