B shaped rubber wall protection profiles - All types & sizes

B shaped rubber wall protection profiles are extruded elastomer sections engineered to absorb heavy-duty impacts in commercial and industrial environments. Available in a comprehensive range of types and sizes, these B profiles function as resilient rubber wall guards and wall bumpers to protect vehicles, shelving and structural surfaces. Materials are selected for abrasion resistance, tear strength and compression recovery to maintain performance in high-traffic areas.

Profiles are specified by cross-section, hardness and length with surface-fix or recessed mounting options and can be supplied in continuous or pre-cut lengths. See the rubber wall guards collection for available sizes and configurations. Contact our technical team for application advice and specification support.

B profiles — Rubber wall guards and wall protection

B shaped rubber wall protection profiles are designed to provide a resilient interface between impact sources and structural walls. Commonly referred to as rubber wall guards or wall bumpers, B profiles have a cross-section that can absorb and redistribute load from trolleys, pallet trucks and other mobile plant. These profiles are produced in a range of cross-sections and material grades to suit different impact levels and chemical exposures; specific dimensions and hardness grades can be requested to match a given application. For an overview of related products see the rubber wall guards collection.

Applications, installation and material options for wall bumpers

B profiles are used in industrial, logistics and marine environments where repeated contact with walls occurs. They are suitable for vertical or horizontal mounting and can be supplied in continuous lengths or cut-to-length formats depending on site requirements. Fixing methods typically include mechanical fasteners or adhesive systems compatible with the substrate; selection of a suitable fixing approach should consider substrate type and operational loads. Information on material compatibility, suggested mounting details and handling can be provided on request, and you can contact our team for technical advice. RuplaTec supplies a range of wall protection profiles and can assist in identifying the appropriate B profile for specific operational needs.

FAQ

What are B shaped rubber wall protection profiles and where are they used?

B shaped rubber wall protection profiles are extruded rubber sections designed to absorb and deflect impact where walls are exposed to contact from trolleys, carts, shelving or equipment. Part of a range that includes B and D profiles, they serve as a form of wall protection and wall bumpers in retail, commercial and light-industrial environments. These profiles are commonly specified where continuous or linear protection is required along corridors, bays and around vulnerable wall edges. Rubber wall guards can be supplied in varying section shapes to suit different mounting conditions.

What materials and performance characteristics do B profiles offer?

B profiles are produced from engineered rubber compounds selected for impact absorption, elasticity and resistance to abrasion. The material properties allow the profiles to act as protective buffers that reduce damage to wall finishes and equipment. Performance varies by compound and cross section, so selection should consider expected impact severity, environmental exposure and compatibility with adjacent surfaces. For technical selection guidance regarding specific compounds or expected performance, contact our team for advice.

How are B shaped profiles installed and fixed?

B profiles can be attached by adhesive bonding or mechanical fixings, depending on substrate, load expectations and profile geometry. Proper installation requires a clean, dry surface and appropriate fixing methods for the substrate material. In some situations a combination of adhesive and screws or rivets is used to ensure secure retention. For guidance on recommended fixing methods, suitable adhesives or preparation steps for specific substrates, consult our team for technical advice tailored to your application.

What maintenance is required for rubber wall guards and when should they be replaced?

Maintenance consists of regular visual inspections and cleaning with mild detergents; avoid strong solvents or abrasive cleaners that can affect rubber compounds. Inspect after any heavy impact for deformation, cracking or loss of fixation. Replace profiles that are torn, permanently deformed or no longer providing adequate protection. For assessment of remaining serviceability or recommendations on replacement materials and procedures, contact our team for practical advice and support.
