Checker Plate Corner Protectors: Where Fashion Meets Function

When it comes to choosing corner protectors for your busy spaces, you probably aren’t thinking about fashion. Heck, fashion is probably not even in your business’ vocabulary, but you don’t have to know about what’s in style to know what looks good. We’re not talking runway models and clothes; we’re talking about choosing corner protectors that look professional and do a great job at what they are designed for, which is keeping your walls looking great and undamaged.

Let’s face it, corner guards aren’t exactly the type of thing that you look at and say, ‘My, that’s the latest in corner protection trends!’ But, you are definitely going to notice if they are cheaply made or just not up to doing the job of protecting your business or residential structures. One of the best looking, multi-use types of corner protectors also happens to be one of the best looking types available. Checker plate corner protectors add a polished, protective finish to your corners, and they look as good as they protect.

An industrial space deserves a sleek, hard-working design that will protect your drywall, brick and plaster wall corners. Once you’ve got your space the way you want it to look, don’t ruin the look, or risk damaging the walls, with an inferior corner guard. The beauty of the checker plate design is twofold; it looks amazing in any setting, and it doesn’t show up the scuffs and bangs that plain steel or aluminum surfaces do.

There’s a reason why so many industries love the checker plate design. It looks great and does a great job of protecting property. Consider the most common places checker plate corner guards are used, hospitals, airports, restaurants and garages, and you’ll know why it’s such a popular choice. For high traffic areas that need to present a ‘good face’, these corner guards pull double duty, keeping walls safe and looking great while they’re at it.

Here at Boss Corner Guards, we have the best checker plate corner guards for your needs. Contact us to find the right protection for your corners, whatever your style is.

Dear Landlord: Get Some Corner Guards

Dear Landlord:

When I moved into my apartment, you said that the place wasn't quite ready for me. It seems some drywall repair still needed to be done. Mostly along the corners of the walls. As this was something that your usual maintenance staff did not do, you had to call someone and schedule an appointment for it to be done.

I remember thinking, while these repairs were taking place, that the people who lived here before me must have been pretty rough and wild to chip so much drywall off the corners in this apartment. However, upon closer inspection, I realized that the corners had been repaired over and over again. I also realized, within a few months of living here, that it is quite easy to scuff those patched places on the corners and -- once you do -- several layers of repair work seems to just crumble off.

I am moving soon, but before I do, I would like to give you a suggestion. Save yourself the cost and time of constant repairs and get some corner guards. Corner guards come in a variety of thicknesses and can suit any decor -- even that of a small apartment. With corner guards, you can rest easy knowing that from the moment your tenent hauls the dresser into the back bedroom on the first day of his lease until that dresser gets hauled back out again on the last day, the corners are chip-free, scuff-free and they will look brand new.

Boss Corner Guards has been producing and supplying corner guards for businesses and residents for over two decades and they bring all those years of knowledge and experience to every customer they serve and every project they complete. Why wait until I move out and schedule the drywall guy again? Instead, you really should contact Boss today.

Sincerely,

The Tenant in 416

Stainless Steel Corner Guards to Dress Up Your Shop

Corner guards are popular in offices, hospitals, schools, and in other similar buildings but one place where they do not show up often enough is in the automotive industry. If you own a garage, or a car audio shop, an auto dealership, or even an exotic car museum, consider adding protection while adding a bit of flair with stainless steel corner guards. 

For a typical automotive repair business, a mostly steel building with lifts and steel doors, adding stainless steel corner guards to all your exposed corners will do more than just protect them; it improves the look of the shop. Maybe your employees have never put any dings in your building but that sixteen-year old kid delivering parts is always in a hurry. Our brushed finish stainless steel guards, made from high-quality 304 grade stainless, are sourced exclusively from North America and look absolutely great. 

Car audio shops are notorious for all of the building damage they get. The culprits are more than just the cars or the UPS trucks. Large tools, air compressors, sheets of wood and even things like the large toolboxes most installers have are constantly in motion around the shop, and corner dings are guaranteed. Here you may want a little more style because of the ‘custom’ nature of car audio. Check out aluminum checker-plate corner guards and forget about constantly repairing your building while showing potential customers that you pay attention to the little things. 

Car dealerships are exposed to many of the same threats and can always benefit from upgrading the look of the building a little bit. Lastly the exotic car display, whether personal or professional… well, you already have corner guards. Don’t you? If not, contact Boss Corner Guards right away, it is a small investment that makes a big difference.

Steel Corner Guards are for Small Businesses Too

When you think of steel corner guards, you probably think of heavy industrial areas where heavy machinery collides with block walls or steel posts on a regular basis. As a small business owner, you might be surprised at the places that benefit from the installation of high quality, industrial-strength steel corner guards from Boss Corner Guards.

If you run a small business that includes any kind of loading docks, you need steel corner guards to protect your posts and walls. Small mechanic shops see bumps to their posts and walls from customers driving into or backing out of their garages on a daily basis. Family-owned farms ship their produce in tractor-trailers, and even the most careful of drivers can clip a post on their way by.

Areas where janitorial carts bump around corners and in and out of closets, bathrooms and other rooms should be protected with corner guards, as well. While you can use plastic corner guards in some of these areas, it is a worthwhile investment to use higher quality, much longer-lasting steel corner guards from Boss Corner Guards. We have said it before and we will say it again; it is better to invest in a high-quality product than to have to replace an inferior product time and again.

Parking garages are another place where steel corner guards are a must. If your small business includes a parking garage for your employees or customers, steel corner guards are a detail you should not miss. It is always better to have a scratched steel plate than to have chunks missing from your concrete pillars. Corner guards look more professional and help to maintain the structural integrity of the pillars over time, through many bumps and scrapes.

Please contact us to order your steel corner guards today.

Boss Corner Guards: The Movie Is Here!

We're proud to announce the official release of our Boss Corner Guards video.  It was not an inexpensive endeavour, but the results came out great, in our humble opinion!  We produced two versions - a full, long-version, and a shorter, abbreviated version, for use on different sites and in different areas.

Our long-version stars several of our own employees, along with a few professional actors and voice-overs:

 

The shorter version is for Product pages, and rehashes some of the information from the longer video, but at a quicker pace, and is more concise:

The Importance of Drywall Corner Protectors

Drywall corner protectors are probably not high on your list of necessities for your home or business improvement projects, but they should be. There are many spaces in your home or business that need drywall corner protection. High quality steel corner guards look much better than nicked and chipped wall corners.

Consider Boss Corner Guards for these common spaces:

• High traffic areas.
• Dojos, or other sparring spaces.
• Indoor sports arenas and practice areas.
• Garages or transitional spaces, such as hard-used mudrooms.
• Home hobby shops or sheds.

Not only will your wall corners look better, they will be more structurally sound. Repeated impacts causing chips, nicks and cracks in your drywall corners will undermine the integrity of the drywall. Eventually the flaws in the corner will broaden and spread, becoming flaws in the wall. Taking preemptive measures with steel Boss Corner Guards saves you time, money and the aggravation of having to fix a big wall problem that could have been prevented.

When you buy drywall corner protectors, be sure that you are ordering a high-quality product. You can easily get cheaper, plastic corner protectors, but you'll be replacing them as often as every month in areas of heavy impact. If you need drywall corner protectors, then you definitely need them to be durable and long-lasting; otherwise, the money you thought you were saving will be thrown away on buying more corner protectors. Plus, your precious spare time will be wasted installing them time and again. Do yourself a favor, invest in the best quality drywall corner protectors the first time around.

Please contact us to order your high-quality drywall corner protectors today.

Corner Guards - the Movie. Coming to a Screen Near You!

Boss Corner Guards may have a new e-commerce website, but our corner protectors themselves are not new at all.  We have been producing them for years, and their popularity has been growing exponentially.  This led us to our recent foray into the online world, with our new site, a mobile version, a Facebook presence and even this blog.  So what's next?  The world of online videos, of course!

Over the course of months, we put together scripts, storyboards, and had many discussions about what would go into our first professionally-produced video.  We settled on two versions - a long- and a short-version, which will be on YouTube and our various websites.  Walls were purposefully damaged, samples were made, and even more script revisions took place.  Voice-over and live actors were hired, and even some of our staff appear quickly on screen.  When the video debuts, see who you can spot!

Keep your eyes open for Boss Corner Guards' soon-to-be-released video, coming to a computer screen or mobile device near you soon!

In the meantime, be sure to have a look at the wide selection of corner guards available on our new e-commerce site www.cornerguardsonline.com .
