Rubber wall guards

Rubber wall guards

Rubber wall guards are extruded, heavy-duty bumpers constructed from 100% recycled rubber, sized 40(H) x 1000(W) x 160(D)mm. Manufactured for Vigil Products, these wall bumpers provide high energy absorption and abrasion resistance for corridors, loading bays and storage facilities. The dense rubber compound resists tearing, oil and general wear, offering consistent performance in impact mitigation.

Designed for straightforward surface mounting, these components support long-term wall protection where repetitive vehicle or trolley contact occurs. Suitable for specification in industrial and commercial projects, they are compatible with standard fixing methods; contact our technical team for installation guidance and material data.

Rubber wall guards — product specification

These rubber wall guards are constructed from 100% recycled rubber and measure 40(H) x 1000(W) x 160(D)mm. Manufactured for Vigil Products, the profile is intended to act as a durable wall bumper where impact mitigation and surface protection are required. Recycled rubber is commonly used in these applications for its energy-absorbing characteristics and abrasion resistance relative to harder substrates. Mounting is generally by mechanical fixings; fixing type, finish and optional ancillary components may vary by specification and can be provided on request. Custom lengths or alternative profiles may be available depending on project requirements.

Applications and installation — wall protection and wall bumpers

Typical applications include shipyards, docks, industrial facilities, transport and logistics hubs, and internal building protection where wall protection is needed to reduce damage from equipment, trolleys or vehicles. Selection should take account of environmental exposure (UV, salt spray, chemicals) and the expected frequency and energy of impacts so that appropriate mounting hardware and any secondary protection are chosen. For a broader view of available sizes and variants, see the rubber wall guards collection.

FAQ

What materials are rubber wall guards made from and how does that affect performance?

Rubber wall guards are typically manufactured from recycled rubber compounds designed for impact absorption and surface protection. Using recycled rubber provides resilience against repeated knocks while maintaining flexibility to conform to wall profiles. Material selection affects hardness, abrasion resistance, and suitability for indoor or sheltered environments. For specific project requirements such as chemical exposure or temperature range, consult product technical data or contact our team for advice to confirm material compatibility with the intended application.

How do rubber wall guards provide wall protection and where are they commonly used?

Rubber wall guards act as a sacrificial interface between moving objects and walls, reducing damage from trolleys, carts, vehicles, and hand tools. They are used in corridors, loading areas, parking structures, warehouses, and commercial facilities where repeated contact occurs. The profile and mounting method influence energy dispersion and coverage area. When planning protection strategies, assess traffic patterns and impact points to determine appropriate wall bumpers and continuous guards for effective wall protection.

What are the typical installation and maintenance procedures for wall bumpers and guards?

Installation methods for wall bumpers include adhesive bonding and mechanical fixings; selection depends on substrate type and expected loads. Surface preparation—clean, dry, and structurally sound—is essential for reliable attachment. Maintenance generally involves routine inspection for wear, secure fastenings, and cleaning with a mild detergent solution to remove contaminants. Damaged sections should be replaced to maintain protection performance. For guidance on installation options for specific substrates, contact our team for technical advice.

How should I choose the right rubber wall guard or wall bumper for my facility?

Selecting the appropriate guard requires evaluating impact risk, traffic type, wall substrate, aesthetic requirements, and any regulatory or hygiene considerations. Choose profiles that provide sufficient coverage for predicted impact heights and that are compatible with the mounting surface. Consider surface finish and color where visibility or visual integration is important. If standards or certifications apply to your industry, confirm product conformity.
