    Protect walls, edges, and other surfaces from dents, scratches, and impact from carts, equipment, and everyday traffic.
    Adhesive Back—Peel and stick to any clean, smooth surface. They can be cut to size.
    Magnetic Back—Easy to attach, move, and replace on metal surfaces. These guards can be reused and cut to size.
    Extra Flexible—Bend these guards around tight curves and contours. They’re often used to protect columns and irregular equipment surfaces.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the surface guard, the better it stands up to impact and abrasion over long periods. The softer the guard, the more cushioning it provides to protect the surface and the object that makes contact.

    A raised profile adds cushioning to soften impact and shield walls and flat surfaces from bumps and scrapes. Originally used as rub rail for boats, these guards are made from tough, weather-resistant materials that hold up indoors or outdoors. They're often used to line loading docks, protect equipment in busy areas, or create impact-resistant barriers along workstations.
    Plain Back—Install with screws, nails, or construction adhesive.
    EPDM—EPDM surface guards are more abrasion resistant than vinyl plastic guards.
    Vinyl Plastic—These guards resist water and common cleaning solutions so they are easy to wash down and maintain.
    Extra Flexible—Bend these guards around tight curves and contours. They’re often used to protect columns and irregular equipment surfaces.

    Strengthened with a metal core yet still bendable, these guards conform to curved surfaces and withstand repeated impact. Bend them around columns, curved walls, and equipment edges to protect against damage from carts, forklifts, and other vehicles.
    Use any number of corner, edge, and surface guards to cover your area. Corner guards, edge guards, and end caps mount with fasteners.
    Synthetic Rubber and EPDM—More impact and abrasion resistant than vinyl plastic guards.
    Vinyl Plastic—These guards resist water and common cleaning solutions so they are easy to wash down and maintain.
    Style 1—These guards have a solid outer face. Mount them by drilling through the front, screwing into the metal reinforcement from behind, or using adhesive.
    Style 2—A slit along the face opens, so you don’t need to drill through the front to fasten with screws. These guards have a more seamless look and are easier to install than Style 1 but are less durable and impact resistant.

    Rubber

    Bright colors make these guards easy to spot in busy areas. Their raised-bulb profile deflects impact better than flat guards. Use them to protect walls and other surfaces from chips and scrapes in areas such as warehouses, loading docks, and parking garages.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the surface guard, the better it resists impact and abrasion to protect the surface. The softer the surface guard, the more cushioning it provides to protect both the surface and the object that comes into contact with it.

    Flexible Adhesive-Back Door Drip Guards

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Door Drip Guards. Flexible Adhesive-Back Door Drip Guards.
    Stick these drip guards above door openings and windows to channel rain, snow, and water away. Also known as gutter rails, they help keep interiors dry and prevent streaks from dew and drizzle. For the best results, stick them onto a nonporous surface, such as glass, metal, sealed concrete, and painted wood. If your installation is crooked, simply peel the drip guard off, adjust, and reapply. The adhesive needs 72 hours to reach full strength.
    For a precise fit, cut the drip guard to length with scissors.
    Vinyl Plastic—Made of flexible vinyl, they conform to uneven surfaces and bend along gradual curves, like a windshield.
    Acrylic Plastic Adhesive—The 3M VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive creates a waterproof seal that withstands any weather as well as vibration.
