If you’re like many
homeowners, you probably have a list of easy projects you would like to
complete in 2014. One you will want to add to the list involves
installing stainless steel corner guards
to strategic areas of your home. There are a number of reasons why you
should consider this project, a few of which are listed below:
Easy to install Our corner guards are surprisingly easy to install, even for those
who have little home improvement experience. Installation can easily
take place over a weekend, and all you need to place them on your walls is some premium
construction adhesive, which is available at any hardware or home improvement retailer.
Adds Value If you are planning to sell your home in the near future, corner
guards can make it very attractive to potential buyers. People will be
relieved to know that walls are protected, meaning they won’t have to
spend time after they move in making repairs.
Provides Protection
Perhaps the biggest reason to install corners guards is that they
protect your wall from damage. This can be especially important if you
are doing any type of remodeling project that involves adding a new
wall, as you wouldn’t want this surface to become damaged right after
it’s put up. If you are painting, plan on adding corner guards at the
same time, since you are likely to be patching holes then anyway.
Require virtually no maintenance
The best thing about installing corner guards is the fact that once
they re in place, you can basically forget about them. All you’ll need
to do is wipe them down with a damp cloth from time to time in order to
keep them clean.
Take a look at our quick video for some great information and installation tips.
When you consider all the benefits, it’s easy to see why adding Boss Corner Guards should be at the top of your to-do list this year. To see

If you enjoy putting up Christmas decorations, you may be wondering if stainless steel corner guards
would make doing so difficult. You’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that
corner guards will actually make your decorating quite a bit easier for a
number of reasons. Certain decorations such as tinsel or garland must be taped to the wall if
they are going to remain in place. Unfortunately, when it comes time to remove
the tape, sticky residue could be left behind that is challenging to remove.
Not only that, but you also run the risk of pulling out patches of drywall if
you use certain kinds of tape. Tape will stick to stainless steel
corner guards much easier, and you won’t have to worry about damaging your
drywall when taking it down. Christmas lights look especially nice when they are strung over the top of
stainless steel guards. That’s because the light from them will emit a warm
glow that will then be reflected by the steel surface. The result will be a
more intriguing look than what would be possible if corner guards
had not been put into place. Corner guards will not distract from the look of your tree, wreaths or other
decorations. They can even make taking decorations down much easier, since you
won’t have to worry about damaging your drywall in the process. This can be
especially important if you have larger decorations that are somewhat awkward
to handle, as you could risk bumping into your wall and creating a tear if
corner guards are not in place. Now is an excellent time to have corner guards placed in your home in order
to help you with Christmas decorating. To see our huge selection of corner
guards, contact

According to the commercial cleaning experts at Coverall Health-Based Cleaning System, flu protection
is a vital part of keeping your office running smoothly. Many
illness-causing germs that are shared in an office environment can be
eliminated by understanding germ hotspots and how the flu virus is
frequently spread.
The average office phone, for example, carries 400 times more germs
than a toilet seat, Coverall reports. Other common office surfaces that
germs live on include door handles, faucet handles, vending machine,
elevator and ATM buttons, as well as drinking fountains, keyboards and
touchscreens. Flu germs can live on surfaces for days and people are
often infected by getting the germs on their hands and then touching
their faces. Typically, most flu outbreaks are seen between the months
of December through February.
Frequent disinfection of office surfaces can help keep your employees feeling healthy. And Boss Corner Guards can help keep your wall corners looking
healthy. A busy office environment often sees drywall damage as
employees accidentally clip the corners when hauling supplies or even
with their winter shoes and boots. Now you can keep your corners looking clean and
professional and skip the ordeal of trying to repair or replace those
corners or match the paint of newly repaired corners.
With over twenty years in the business of supplying corner guards
that are of superior quality, along with the willingness to go above and
beyond with both our product and our service, Boss Corner Guards is a name you can
trust. For more information on our corner guards and how we can help you
keep your office corners looking healthy this winter, contact us.
One of the most
common building materials of our time, drywall can be found in almost any
home or business. Its relative cheapness, ease of accessibility, and
straightforward installation process have made it a highly desirable building
material. It's become so common that most of us would be surprised to discover
a wall not made of it. Despite its immense popularity as a building material, though, drywall is
not perfect. Although it may be more economical and easy to install, using it
comes with some serious drawbacks:
it's weaker, more temporary, less soundproof, and a poor insulator when
compared to the older, more traditional plaster walls. Because of these weaknesses, both homeowners and small business owners often
find themselves needing to repair or replace damaged sections of drywall,
especially along highly-trafficked hallways and around the edges of doorways.
From incidental corner chips to falling shelving units to fists flying through
walls, accidents happen. To this end, drywall protectors prove
to be a smart investment. With them in place, you can rest assured that at
least your most-traveled junction points are protected against mishap. With a stylish brushed finish, our stainless steel corner
guards can complement the decor of any home, while our aluminum checker
plate or galvanized steel
corner guards are perfectly suited to for the interior and exterior corners of
your business. And remember that with the holidays coming up, now is the perfect time to
take advantage of our gift certificate program
for the conscientious homemaker or small business owner in your life. For more information on the benefits of installing drywall protectors,
please feel free to contact
us.
If you’ve been thinking about installing corner guards,
now is the time to put your thoughts into action. By having corner
guards placed before the holidays get here, you’ll be free to focus on
much more important things once they actually arrive.
During the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, you’re likely
to do a lot of entertaining. This means there will be more people coming
and going from your house, and an increased likelihood of your walls
being damaged as a result. When you add alcohol into the equation, your
odds of suffering wall damage are increased even further. If you have
our attractive wall guards in place, you’ll feel free to show your
guests a good time because you won’t be worried about wall damage.
You’re also more likely to damage your wall when toting large boxes
of decorations in and out of your home. Christmas trees and their
accompanying ornaments can be bulky and awkward, making it more likely
you will scrape against the wall while you are carrying them. This is
especially true if you must move these decorations up or down stairs.
Having strategically placed corner guards will eliminate this worry so
that your decorating plans can go off without a hitch.
While there are certainly lots of benefits to installing corner
guards before the holidays, you won’t want to wait until they get here
to think about doing so. Instead, contact us today so that your holiday season can be filled with joy instead of worry over the condition of your walls.
The very fact that OSHA exists says something about the overall safety
levels of industrial North America. After all, if businesses, factories, warehouses,
and loading docks were inherently accident free, why would there be a need for
a government agency to oversee the overall safety and health of employees? Interestingly, safety professionals and regulators generally evaluate
success or failure in the safety arena by looking to the past: Safety performance has traditionally been evaluated using “after the
loss” measurements including Worker’s Compensation losses and costs due to
accidents... These “reactive” or “lagging” indicators have a long history of
use and have become the accepted standard for measuring the success of safety
programs in the marketplace. (Phil Hagan, Safety First) While such procedures are all well and good for the prediction of future
costs and the evaluation of overall safety practices in particular industries,
they do nothing for the prevention of accidents - a fact which Hagan goes on to
note in his article. Simply keeping tally of the dollar amount of property
damaged over the course of the last year does little to prevent the damages
from recurring. It's what's done with the data that's important. That's why
accident prevention training is so vital. Likewise, careful allocation of
resources aimed toward mitigating damage due to workplace mishaps can pay
dividends in the long run. To that end, businesses with the foresight to install Boss corner guards can
rest assured that they have taken a critical step toward protecting their
investment against workplace mishaps. While they won't necessarily save
lives, corner guards will protect corners against
equipment damage anywhere that heavy machinery is present. Whether you choose the Aluminum Checker
Plate corner guards to protect against typical workplace wear and tear on
your drywall, brick, or plaster corners; the heavy-duty Industrial Corner
Guards to guard against heavy machinery damage on the corners in your
warehouses, garages, manufacturing plants, or industrial yards; or any of our
other fine corner guard products, we know that you will be satisfied with your
investment. For more information regarding Boss Corner Guards, please feel free to contact

Whether you're the proprietor of a dance studio, the teacher of a middle
school class, the manager of an industrial kitchen, a fitness trainer, or
merely the parent of small children, you'll find that stainless
steel corner guards will ensure that you're able to protect the investment
you've made.
In a dance studio, there's
always the threat of misguided tap shoes and costume racks dinging against
corners.
In any middle school
classroom, the constant movement of rolling backpacks, rough-housing
students, and classroom supply bins can take their toll on paint.
In an industrial kitchen,
delivery men pulling supplies on metal hand trucks, the movement of
stainless-steel prep carts, and cooking implements being tossed about
among cooks can cause unexpected damage.
In a fitness studio, free
weights and other exercise accessories - not to mention clients given to
explosive movements - are not conducive to keeping walls and corners
pristine.
In play rooms, whether it's
racing their plastic cars up and down the walls, coloring on unexpected
surfaces, or inexplicably heaving their toys at the walls and ceilings
with little to no provocation, small children have a special gift for
damaging any and all rooms in which they feel inspired to play.
As the owner either of a home or a business, you're no doubt rightly
concerned with protecting your investment. To that end, we suggest that you
protect your investment in every way that you can, from taking out the proper
insurance to installing stainless
steel corner guards. Fabricated from high-quality North-American 304-grade stainless, our steel
corner guards come with an attractively brushed finished intended to complement
the décor of your studio, classroom, kitchen, or playroom. Best of all, installing these corner guards will ensure future ease of mind,
since any concern with matching paints to original colors will become obsolete. If you have questions regarding how you can protect your investment
by installing our stainless steel corner guards, please feel free to contact
us. We look forward to serving you.
