At Boss Corner Guards, a corner is not just a corner. It's an
opportunity. When it's not protected with stainless steel, it's an
opportunity for injury or wall damage. When you've got stainless steel
corner guards, however, you're in a whole other world.
When it comes to stainless steel corner protectors,
we're convinced that it can change things for you. We're so convinced
that we've got a list of five ways that it will do just that.
- Where do you want it? Imagine all the corners in your home and
work-space. Remember every time that you've bumped into the corner with
your shin or taken a chunk out of the drywall with a rolling cart. (Did
you tell anyone, or just walk by?) Now imagine every one of those
corners with a sleek, smooth, reflective stainless steel corner guard.
No more sharp angles and no more chipped drywall. (And no more ignoring
that ugly chipped drywall, either.
- High gauge stainless steel isn't always the best solution. Gauges at
22 and above are best used for industrial applications, and then only
in specific environments such as walk-in refrigerators or low-volume
storage areas. When thinking of corner guards for an office space stick
to 16 or 18 gauge stainless steel for your corners as these gauges
resist denting and are easier to install.
- Soft angles are easier to clean. Simple as that. Stainless steel
retains its mirror-like shine for a lifetime and cleans quickly with a
damp cloth. No need to worry about wiping off the paint or replacing
bricks or tiles constantly exposed to scratching and scuffing.
- 304 Series stainless steel is an industry rating for the highest
quality corrosion and stain resistant steel - about 18% chromium and 8%
nickel (Study the Ingredients, ThisOldHouse.com).
- A reasonable gauge (see our YouTube video to help choose the best gauge for you) is not only beautiful but nearly silent - no clangs or bangs, and they
are guaranteed to stay in place - no matter how many times you bump into
our corner guards.
Impress visitors and employees with the beauty and function of stainless steel corner guards on every exposed corner! Contact us any time, and we'd be more than happy to help you choose the perfect corner protection solution for your project.
Corner guards are an essential purchase for any home building. These
guards protect one of the most vulnerable architectural locations, and a
building without them looks naked and unfinished. It's important to
remember that when it comes to corner guards that you get what you pay
for though, which is why it's a good idea to invest in metal corner guards for your building.
What Do You Mean Invest?
High quality metal corner guards are not an expense; they're an investment. By
purchasing galvanized steel corner guards for a waterfront warehouse you
are investing in keeping your corners protected from moisture as well
as from the salt in the air. By installing brushed stainless steel corner protectors, you
aren't just ticking an item off a checklist; you're making sure that
your building is ready to stand up against accidents and impacts, while looking beautiful and modern at the same time.
It's true there are a variety of other options when it comes to
corner guards. Wooden and plastic corner guards are both semi-popular
options due to the variety of styles and their relatively low prices. Their short lifespan, however, makes them very expensive over time. Over the life of the building though, metal corner guards are going to
give you far more bang for your buck.
Playing The Long Game
While non-metal corner guards might look like a smart option, there
are a lot of reasons they're actually a trap. For starters they simply
provide less protection than metal corner guards do, which is a big
consideration. Other materials are also less durable than metal, and
thus they're going to have to be replaced more often. That means while
plastic corner guards might seem like a great deal now because they're
only two-thirds the price of metal corner guards, you need to ask how long they
last. How many times is the cold going to crack them or the sun going to
bleach and weaken them to the point that they need to be replaced? How
much extra money will it cost to have the old guards taken down, and new
ones put up in their places?
In the end metal corner guards will simply provide more protection
for less money and less hassle. For more information on what kinds of
metal corner guards would be right for your building's needs all you

Corner guards are the finishing touch to any building or remodeling
project, commercial and residential. While they protect vulnerable
corners from bumps and scrapes, they also hold aesthetic value. So,
which metal corner guards will be the perfect finishing touch for your corners?
Industrial strength
For heavy-duty applications we recommend our Boss Industrial Strength
corner guards. These corner guards are tested for strength and
durability. The hot rolled steel in either 1/4 or 5/16 inch thickness
handles a lot of abuse from delivery trucks to forklifts - you name it,
this corner guard can take it. Available bare, or primed as an option.
Versatility
If versatility is the top priority, choose our Regular Steel Checker
Plate corner guards. You have your choice of angles, either 90 or 135
degrees. They are available in a variety of lengths and gauges depending
on anticipated use (heavier gauges for parking garages and warehouses,
lighter for home or office use). You can buy these as-is or choose a
galvanized finish option for added weather protection.
Galvanizing is the process of coating steel with zinc that penetrates
the surface of the metal. Galvanized corner guards resist corrosion and
withstand extremes of temperature and moisture better than any other
metal, besides Stainless Steel.
Elegance
By far the most popular option would be our Stainless Steel corner guards, which offer just about everything you could want: strength to protect (depending on gauge selected), superior corrosion protection and beautiful looks with their brushed finish.
Our Aluminum Check Plate corner guards are polished to add light and
a high-tech look to the least likely of places. The gently rounded corners make
household corners and high traffic office corners safer, and blend in
flawlessly with the corner it is protecting. What about safe application
to a variety of surfaces? These corner guards are easy and worry-free
on everything from brick to drywall and plaster.

options, it can be hard to determine what needs to be done. Your answer
is to purchase and install stainless steel corner guards.
Indoor Use
Many offices have high traffic areas, such as when entering the
building, lunchroom, or other general areas. These walls are especially
important to protect. By using corner guards, it is possible to preserve
the foundation of the facility and add class at the same time. Plus, if
the high traffic area is a place where clients and customers are
commonly located, they will admire the beautiful brushed finish of the
corner guards.
Outdoor Use
Our corner guards can be used in outdoor facilities, such as parking
garages, as well. Let's face it: not everyone pays attention at all
times and accidents do occur. By using corner guards, you can protect
