What is a corner guard for walls and corners?
Every parent and teacher knows the moment: children run, laugh, and play, without noticing the sharp edge of a wall or window sill. What looks harmless to an adult can become dangerous in a split second. A stumble or a slip is enough – and suddenly a small accident can lead to a painful injury.
Corner guards are designed to make these everyday environments safer. They cover sharp corners and edges on walls, window openings, or furniture and help prevent cuts, bruises, or more serious injuries. Especially in places where many children play together – such as kindergartens, schools, indoor playgrounds, and daycare centers – corner guards provide peace of mind for caregivers, teachers, and parents.
What types of corner guards for walls and corners are there?
Arte Viva offers different types of corner guards for walls and corners:
- Corner Guard Plus – discreet, white design that blends into interiors.
- Corner Guard Deluxe – colorful protection available in multiple bright colors.
- Corner Guard Deluxe Pencil – fun pencil-shaped version for classrooms.
- Corner Guard Cork – 100% eco-friendly cork, a sustainable choice.
- Corner Guard UV – resistant to sunlight, suitable for outdoor use.
What is the best place to apply the corner protection?
Corner protection is most important in childcare centers, kindergartens, and preschools, where many children play, run, and explore every day. In these environments, even harmless-looking corners and edges can quickly become a safety risk. It is not necessary to cover every single corner, but areas with high child activity, such as playrooms, hallways, group rooms, and around window sills, benefit the most from corner guards.
Is the Arte Viva corner guard suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. For outdoor areas, we recommend the Corner Guard UV. Made from durable EVA material, it is UV-resistant and minimizes color fading, making it the most reliable choice for playgrounds and other outdoor environments.
Please note: when used outdoors, the lifespan of any corner guard may be shorter due to weather exposure, and adhesion can also be affected over time.
How do I choose the right corner guard for my facility?
The right choice depends on where you want to install the protection and what style fits your space:
- Corner Guard Plus – discreet and white, blends into interiors.
- Corner Guard Deluxe – colorful, stands out in playful environments.
