Corner guards come in many different styles, options and materials. Clear corner guards made of polycarbonate materials are always a good choice, but in some many different areas stainless steel corner guards are also a very good choice.
With the choice of stainless steel corner guards, it is possible to choose different surfaces or finishes. They can be polished or brushed, giving more of a bright, reflective finish or more of a matte finish that is less reflective.
Additionally, it is possible to choose from corner guards that four feet or eight feet in standard lengths. This will protect either the lower half of the corner or the full height. The choice between the two is based on both the aesthetics as well as the type of traffic in the area.
Hospitals and Rehab Facilities
Hospitals, long-term care facilities, nursing homes and rehab facilities typically prefer the stainless steel guards for both aesthetic and practical reasons. These corner guards are extremely durable and can easily stand up to gurneys, wheelchairs, medical equipment carts and typical traffic.
They are also easy to wipe down with the cleaners and sanitizers required for specific cleaning protocols in different rooms of the hospital. This ensures full compliance throughout the facility.
Kitchens and Food Prep Areas
For many of the same reasons that stainless steel corner guards are a great option in hospitals and medical facilities, they are also a top choice for restaurant kitchens and food prep areas.
Corners of these facilities are subjected to carts, employees, trays and even food, so the full length options are the most common and effective.
Commercial Building Hallways
Any commercial buildings will find that the addition of corner guards helps to save on repairs and repainting requirements. By choosing stainless steel, they will last a lifetime and will also work with any color of walls or flooring.
