Incorporating Stainless Steel Corner Guards Into Interior Design

It's a small thing, but it has a big purpose. With stainless steel corner guards, you can rest easy knowing that chipped and scuffed drywall isn't going to detract from your décor. But with some modern and industrial styles, a stainless steel corner guard isn't just functional, but fashionable as well.

According to Furnish Burnish, the industrial style relies on the heavy use of metals. Traditionally, the style was used to decorate spaces that had been transformed from their original industrial purpose into living spaces. The color palette of such areas is generally rust, black, metallic, and yellow-toned.

The website suggests balancing the metal in the room with other décor items. If you have metallic-colored walls, then shabby wooden furniture might produce the desired effect. Or metallic-finished furniture with a rich colored wall paint. The use of stainless steel color guards with an attractive brushed finish can be the perfect accent to rich wall colors and metal furniture, tying the look of the walls in with the rest of the décor.

If industrial isn't the look you're going for with your decorating, don't despair. You can paint our Satin Coat corner guards in whatever color you'd like them to be, so that they continue to give you protection for your drywall corners while serving as an accent piece in your decorating scheme or even blending in with the color of your walls.


Whatever your style and whatever space you're decorating, corner protectors from Boss Corner Guards can help you achieve and maintain a professional, finished look. For more information, contact us.

Four Reasons to Consider Drywall Protectors

If you're even aware that drywall protectors exist, then you're already light years ahead of some. The next step, of course, is to consider whether or not they're a good investment for you. By reading the list below, you'll soon see that far from being some elite product for the few, drywall protectors really are for everyone.

Four Reasons to Consider Drywall Protectors:

Reason One: You have a building... with corners in it. This might be a no-brainer, but we thought we might as well mention it. After all, if you don't have a building, or if you do have a building but it's totally round, then you would have no need for drywall protectors. As for the rest of you, read on.

Reason Two: People pass in and out of your building on a regular basis. Unless you're running a mausoleum, chances are high that your building has significant foot traffic, and while this may boost your bottom line, there's no denying that people cause significant wear and tear. Hence the need for drywall protectors.

Reason Three: You have employees. The well-worn phrase "the customer is always right" does not always extend to employees, especially to employees whose mistakes accidentally mangle your drywall. Better to protect you both and have drywall protectors installed just in case.

Reason Four: You're in this for the long haul. If you're only planning to be in business for a few years, then there's no need to think ahead about keeping your drywall in good shape. If, however, you're in it for the long haul, investing in wall protection is probably in your best interests.


Did any of these reasons strike a chord with you? If so, you're in luck. Drywall protectors are easy to obtain and install. Feel free to contact us for more details.

Corner Protectors: A Good Investment for Rentals

Do you have residential or office space for rent? Chances are, sprucing up that rental space has been on the agenda. New paint and new flooring are often involved in preparing a rental for new tenants. But here is one spruce-up item you might not have thought of: corner protectors.

Drywall is easily damaged, particularly at the corners. Corner protectors not only help cover up the drywall damage that was done by previous tenants, but they also help protect from the damage that new tenants might do.

Damage to drywall corners often begins as soon as the tenant begins moving furniture into the place. It continues for a multitude of reasons, including simple foot traffic, for the duration of the time the space is occupied. Additionally, because people like the places they're occupying to look clean and new, corner guards can add a finished to a space that can help to attract tenants to your place. So the best time to install corner guards is now -- before your new tenants move in.


Boss Corner Guards offers a wide variety of corner protectors to suit every space and every use. Whether you're looking for a functional corner guard that can withstand heavy duty traffic or a decorative corner guard that will enhance the look of the place, we have an easy-to-install solution for you. With over two decades in the business, we are committed to getting the job done right, every time. For more information on our corner guards and other products we provide, contact us.

Corner Guards for the Home Studio

Of course those working in industrial centers, busy offices, or waiting rooms are likely to consider installing corner guards. After all, foot traffic in these areas is high; therefore logic tells us that the possibility of wear and tear on corners is therefore also high. In order to avoid the yearly task of plastering, sanding, dry-walling, and matching paint, installing corner guards is a smart choice.

Likewise, those who own home studios should also consider this option for making the most of their space. 

Photography studios - Although foot traffic is considerably lower, those who own photography studios do bring clients in for visits on a regular basis. Since a professional atmosphere is important, corner guards can help to maintain an attractive appearance while simultaneously preventing against wear and tear.

Art studios - Whether it's print, sculpture, painting, craft, or performance, or installation art, getting the artwork safely into place is as important as displaying it in a clean and attractive setting. Corner guards will not only ensure against occasional bumps and scrapes while moving art but will also double as decorative accents.

Dance studios - Ensuring that stray kicks and tap shoes hurled across the room in frustration will not damage your studio is simple: install corner guards! 

Exercise studios - Free weights, medicine balls, flex cords, ab wheels, resistance bands, sparring pads, agility ladders--With clients coming and going through such a high-energy environment while making use of workout tools such as these, occasional accidents are bound to happen. Installing corner guards will help to mitigate any possible damage.

Do you remember the excitement of finding out that you were going to be a new parent? After the initial thrill (or panic!) wore off, you immediately sprang into action.

You then tore through your home, systematically taking every conceivable safety measure to "baby-proof" everything, looking for every possible way to keep your baby safe from household injuries.

Then your baby grew up a little, learned to walk, started to run, threw toys across the room, rode his bicycle through the house, used the wall as a coloring book, and then donned your old football helmet in an effort to use his head as a makeshift battering ram.

Corner Guards a Staple for the Industrial Kitchen

The recent upswing in reality TV viewing means that almost anything can be turned into a hit show: including industrial cooking! The popularity of shows such as America's Test Kitchen and Iron Chef America stand in testament to our love of watching other people cook; however, how accurate are these shows in terms of depicting life in an actual industrial kitchen?

Our guess is not very. 

Industrial kitchens, although often smooth, shiny, and well-managed, are also places of high competition, frantic activity, and stress. (To be fair, perhaps Hell's Kitchen depicts this aspect.) Items are dropped, utensils broken, and machinery abused. Mistakes happen, which is only to be expected, but sometimes these accidents are more costly than anticipated.

Even the walls of the kitchen are not exempt. They will be splattered by grease, stained by smoke that escapes from the vent hoods, and -- most fragile of all -- their corners will suffer all manner of abuses as the staff bustles back and forth in their hurry to meet necessary time constraints. These corners will be chipped, cracked, scratched, and accidentally bashed into by distracted employees pushing wayward hand carts. 

The best preventative to unsightly corner damage, of course, is to install corner guards in your kitchen to ensure the ongoing safety and maintenance of your corners. With different sizes and styles available from Boss Corner Guards, we feel confident that we can meet all of your kitchen's corner protection needs.


For more information on the benefits of installing corner guards, or to discuss other preventative uses of our products, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to working together with you.

Installing Corner Guards In Your Office Can Help Your Business Make A Proper First Impression

Keeping your office organized and in good repair is essential to making a well received first impression. Unfortunately, the likelihood of that happening is diminished when the walls in the space are marred with unsightly marks and gashes. Luckily, you can save your office from these types of blemishes by installing corner guards. If you're not convinced these simple but effective wall protectors can help your business succeed, the benefits provided below will definitely change your mind.

Protecting Your Walls and Your Finances

No matter how careful you are, accidents will happen, and while a spilled cup of coffee on the office carpeting is an easy clean up, a dent on a wall corner is another story. Whether the crack is made from a vacuum cleaner or from a chair running into the wall, its bound to create an ugly mark. Although one gash may go unnoticed by your clientele, multiple blemishes will definitely catch their eye, especially when they aren't repaired immediately. Fortunately, installing corner guards can instantly eliminate this issue and save you hundreds of dollars on maintenance bills.

Starting Off On The Right Foot

When a potential client walks into your office building for the first time, they will do so with a critical eye. Furthermore, what they encounter has the power to either make or break your business arrangement. If the space appears unkempt, which can often occur when your walls are damaged and dirty, you may lose them as a possible client. Avoiding such a mishap can be done by furnishing your wall corners with stainless steel guards. Not only will the installation protect your office corners, but it also supplies an attractive alternative to the plain appearance of most walls.

Painless Installation and Maintenance

Repairing a damaged wall is no easy task and usually requires a professional. On the other hand, installing corner guards is a DIY project that only involves construction adhesive and a few moments of your time. Once you've followed the installation directions, corner guard maintenance is quite easy and generally only calls for a quick wipe down with a soft cloth.

What a potential client sees in your office space often supplies them with their first impression of your business. Keeping the area clean and orderly will send them the right message about your work ethic. If you are looking to protect your walls, please contact us today to view our large assortment of corner guards.
