Edge and corner protection profiles

Edge and corner protection profiles

Our range of edge and corner protection profiles covers aluminium, stainless steel and PVC, with dedicated rubber options for impact-sensitive environments. Designed to protect structural edges, doorways and wall junctions, these profiles deliver abrasion and impact resistance, chemical-tolerance choices and multiple mounting methods (adhesive, mechanical fixings or push-fit). Typical applications include warehousing, manufacturing lines and transportation equipment.

Select from standard and custom sizes including edge bumpers, radiused and chamfered shapes. For rubber-specific options see the rubber corner guards collection. Contact our team for technical advice on material selection, durometer and installation. Key product types: Edge protection profiles, Rubber corner guards.

We can supply Edge and corner protection profiles in virtually any design and specification.

Custom production is possible based on technical drawings, material requirements, or performance criteria.

Most standard sizes are available from stock.

Edge protection profiles and corner protection profiles — materials and construction

Edge protection profiles and corner protection profiles are used to reduce impact damage to structural edges, panels and finishes in industrial and marine environments. Common materials include aluminium, stainless steel, PVC and rubber; each material presents different wear, corrosion and flexibility characteristics relevant to specific applications. Profiles are supplied in a range of cross-sections and sizes to suit straight edges, acute corners and compound profiles. RuplaTec supplies a selection of these components for use by shipyards, construction and manufacturing facilities.

Selection guidance, typical applications and related products

When selecting edge bumpers or rubber corner guards consider substrate, expected impact energy, exposure to chemicals or saltwater, and attachment method (mechanical fasteners, adhesive, or clip systems). Edge protection profiles are commonly specified for hull openings, door frames, loading bays and equipment housings. For projects requiring broader surface protection, see related rubber wall protection options available from our range; for focused corner protection, review the rubber corner guards collection. Technical information such as sectional drawings, material data or installation recommendations can be requested from the supplier or manufacturer. Contact our team for application advice or to discuss customised profiles and material combinations.

FAQ

What materials are available for edge protection profiles and corner protection profiles?

Edge protection profiles and corner protection profiles are offered in a range of construction materials to suit different applications. Standard options include aluminium, stainless steel and PVC, with a variety of finishes, colours and surface treatments. For applications requiring elastomeric properties, rubber corner guards and edge bumpers are commonly specified to provide cushioning and impact absorption. Contact our team for advice on material selection based on load, environment and aesthetic requirements.

How should I select between aluminium, stainless steel, PVC and rubber corner guards?

Selection depends on functional and environmental criteria. Aluminium and stainless steel are typically chosen for structural durability and corrosion resistance, while PVC provides a cost-effective, lightweight option with varied finishes. Rubber corner guards and edge bumpers are selected when flexibility and impact absorption are priorities. Consider factors such as mechanical load, chemical exposure, hygiene requirements, and desired appearance. Our team can assist in matching edge protection profiles to application-specific needs and compliance constraints.

What are the general installation and maintenance considerations for edge bumpers and protection profiles?

Installation methods vary by material and substrate and may include adhesives, mechanical fasteners or snap-fit systems. Ensure compatible adhesives and fixation methods are used for the selected material. Maintenance typically involves regular inspection for wear, secure fastening and cleaning with appropriate, non-damaging cleaners; avoid aggressive solvents on PVC and rubber components. For high-wear or safety-critical applications, schedule periodic checks. Contact our team for guidance on recommended installation practices and maintenance intervals for specific profiles.

Can edge protection profiles be customised in size, finish and colour?

Edge protection profiles are commonly available with a range of finishes, colours and profile geometries to meet aesthetic and functional requirements. Customisation may include alternative surface finishes, bespoke colour matching and profile shapes to fit specific edges or corners. Material choice influences available finishing options and durability. For applications requiring customised profiles or technical compatibility checks, contact our team to discuss specifications, feasibility and any applicable testing or compliance considerations.
