Textured vinyl corner guards are a durable, economic answer to the wear and tear of heavy traffic areas. In addition to providing exceptional wall protection, the vinyl is embossed with a texture to give it a soft-finish color that complements interior design.
What's the difference between polycarbonate and vinyl materials?
The polycarbonate material has a smooth, glossy finish, and the vinyl material is textured with more of a matte finish.
What kind of tape is used on the vinyl corner guards?
The vinyl corner guards use a double-sided rubber-based foam adhesive with a thickness of 1/32″.
Can I cut the corner guards to a custom length myself?
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.
Do you offer custom color matching?
Yes, we are able to match your custom color. The requirements for a custom color match vary depending on the product line, quantity and desired lead time. Contact Customer Service for more information.

Wall surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Wipe the wall surface with a solvent to assure all grease, dust and dirt are removed. Make sure that the cleaning solvent used will not damage the finish on the wall surface.
If required, cut corner guard to required length, ensuring that all cuts are square and burr free.
Peel off backing tape from one wing entirely, then peel back the tape partially on the second wing. Place wing with the fully exposed tape to the wall, then remove the remainder of the tape backing from the second wing. Press firmly along the entire length of the corner protector to ensure a good bond.
