Aluminium checker plate is a strong, practical, and visually appealing metal that’s easy to install and maintain. It retains its finish even under heavy use, making it a popular choice for hospitals, schools, warehouses, and public corridors where trolleys, beds, and wheelchairs often contact walls. Typical thicknesses are 1.5 mm for light to medium duty, 2 mm for robust use, and 3 mm where extra impact resistance is required.

Aluminium checker is also ideal for doorways, lift areas, and wall edges, where it serves as durable aluminium corner protectors for walls — helping prevent impact damage from baggage, trolleys, and equipment. These metal wall corner protectors are quick to fit, as the material drills easily for screw fixing or can be securely bonded with adhesive.

We stock aluminium sheet metal in 2500 mm × 1250 mm standard sizes and can cut to your exact requirements. All corner angle covers are accurately pressed on our CNC machinery — available as internal or external corner profiles. If your wall isn’t a perfect 90°, we can bend each protector to match the angle precisely.

When strength and durability are your top priorities, galvanised steel wall corner protectors provide a reliable, no-nonsense solution. Designed to withstand the knocks and scrapes common in warehouses, workshops, distribution centres, and loading bays, this material offers excellent resistance to wear and impact. The zinc coating prevents rust, ensuring long-term protection even in demanding or semi-outdoor environments.

These metal wall corner guards are especially effective against damage caused by pallet trucks, forklifts, and trolleys. While less decorative than other metals, galvanised steel focuses on performance — making it ideal for industrial or back-of-house areas where function matters most.

We supply galvanised steel sheets in standard sizes of 2000 mm × 1000 mm, with thicknesses up to 3 mm. Each piece is cut to size and accurately formed using CNC machinery to create clean internal or external angles. Where corners meet at non-standard angles, we can bend the protectors precisely to ensure a flush, professional fit.

Fixing options include pre-drilled holes for screw attachment or bonding with a high-strength adhesive. Please note: while our product images show the traditional spangled galvanised finish, current stock is supplied in a smooth uniform grey coating — offering the same level of protection with a subtle, modern industrial look.

Natural brass wall corner protectors combine classic craftsmanship with lasting durability. The rich, golden tone of brass instantly elevates interiors, providing both strength and decorative value. Depending on the finish, the metal may appear softly matte or brightly polished — each offering a distinctive character suited to traditional and contemporary spaces alike.

These brass wall guards are often chosen for hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and heritage renovations where style and resilience are equally important. The warm metallic hue complements wood, stone, and other natural materials, helping to create a cohesive and refined aesthetic throughout your interior.

We can also supply antique or aged brass finishes for customers seeking a vintage or patinated look. Whether you prefer the soft glow of natural brass or the character of aged metal, our protectors are made to measure and designed to last for years of daily use.

To complete your interior scheme, we also supply complementary door hardware in matching finishes — including push plates and kick plates crafted from solid copper or brass. These protect doors from scuffs and impacts while ensuring design consistency with surrounding metal wall corner protectors or wall panels.

Each piece is precision-cut, finished, and lacquered for long-term durability in both commercial and residential settings. Whether fitted in hotel lobbies, restaurants, or private homes, these copper and brass hardware details add a sense of refinement and visual continuity.

When preparing your enquiry or drawings, include the key details below so we can quote accurately and manufacture to your exact requirements:

• Material & finish: Choose from brass, copper, stainless steel, aluminium, or galvanised steel, with finishes such as brushed, polished, or patina-aged.
• Leg size (angle): State the two face widths (e.g. 50 × 50 mm). Note whether you require an equal or unequal angle.
• Thickness: Select the metal thickness suited to your application. As a general guide, light-duty protectors start from 0.9 mm (or 1.5 mm for aluminium chequer), standard-duty from 1.2–1.5 mm, heavy-duty from 2–3 mm, and very heavy-duty from 4 mm +. Thicker materials provide greater impact resistance but may require alternative fixing methods.
• Length: Overall protector length in millimetres. Optimising lengths to standard sheet sizes will reduce cost.
• Wall angle: Normally 90°, but please advise if your corner varies – we can adjust our press-brake tooling to suit.
• Fixing holes: Specify hole size and spacing to match your screws. Let us know if you prefer holes offset between the two legs or a plain finish for adhesive fixing.
• Quantity: Indicate total number required. Consistent batch sizes help minimise setup costs.

Including these details allows our team to prepare an accurate quote, confirm material availability, and ensure your metal wall protectors are ready for fast installation with no on-site adjustments.
