    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.

    Raised-Bulb Rubber Corner Guards

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Corner Guards. Raised-Bulb Rubber Corner Guards.
    With a round, hollow profile, these guards compress to cushion the corner they're protecting and objects that hit them. They’re made of rubber, so they won’t break down over time like foam guards. Since they’re weather resistant, you can use them indoors and outdoors. They’re often used on the edges of equipment, storage racks, carts, and cabinets. Cut them to length as needed.
    Plain Back—Install with screws, nails, or construction adhesive.
    Extra Flexible—Bend around tight curves and contours.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the guard, the better it stands up to impact and abrasion over time. The softer the guard, the more cushioning it has to protect the corner and the object that bumps it.

    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.
