How do you install PVC corner profiles? How do you prepare the surface?

Installation should be carried out at room temperature. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and degreased, and any unevenness removed. Cut the profile to the appropriate length. For self-adhesive versions, remove the protective film and press the profile firmly. For profiles without adhesive tape, use a PVC contact mounting adhesive.

 
How do you cut PVC corner profiles?

You can easily cut soft PVC corner profiles using the QUEST angled shear tool.

 
Can PVC corner profiles be painted?

Yes, PVC corner guards take paint well, allowing them to be matched to your interior design. We recommend PVC paint available at building supply stores.

 
Can corner guards be used on different surfaces, e.g. painted walls, panels, or tiles?

Yes, corner guards can be used on various surfaces such as painted walls, panels, or tiles. Thanks to their versatility, they can be applied to many materials, providing edge protection and an aesthetic finish in both residential and commercial spaces.

Just be sure to prepare the surface properly before installation.

 
What material are soft corner guards made of?

Soft corner guards are made from flexible PVC. This material provides elasticity and impact resistance, making the profiles effective at protecting edges and corners from bumps and wear.

 
What does it mean that soft PVC has “shape memory”?

Soft PVC is a flexible material that remembers its original shape. Thanks to this property, even if the strip becomes slightly deformed during transport or storage, it will return to its original form over time. This is a completely natural feature of the material, not a product defect.

 
Are soft corner guards UV resistant?

Yes. They are made from high-quality PVC that is UV resistant. As a result, they do not discolor in sunlight and maintain their appearance and color even after prolonged use.

 
How do you clean soft corner guards?

Soft PVC corner guards are relatively dirt-repellent but can get dirty in daily use. To clean them, simply use a soft cloth and, if necessary, a mild detergent dissolved in water.

 
Where can PVC corner profiles be used?

Soft PVC corner guards are ideal for protecting corners, finishing door frames, and as decorative elements. They are suitable for high-traffic areas such as kindergartens, schools, offices, or garages. Thanks to their flexibility and attractive appearance, soft PVC corner guards can also be used to protect furniture edges, countertops, and other decorative elements, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

 
Can corner guards be used outdoors?

QUEST corner guards are recommended for indoor use.

 
Are corner guards safe for children, e.g. in playrooms?

Yes, corner guards are safe for children, for example in playrooms. They hold a hygiene certificate confirming their safety and compliance with standards. You can find the certificate details in the Certificates section on our website.

Are connectors needed for corner profiles?

No, they are not necessary. After cutting, the profiles retain their color and do not fray, allowing the edges to fit together perfectly.

 
Do corner guards lose color, become matte, or deform over time?

The profile is made from a high-quality, UV-resistant material that lasts for years. It does not become matte or lose color. When properly installed, it does not deform, and the material has shape memory.

 
Can corner guards be ordered in high-visibility warning colors or with reflective elements?

Yes, we currently offer two warning colors for soft corner guards:

 
What is the difference between soft and hard corner guards?

Both guards are made from PVC but differ in material hardness. Soft corner guards (bumpers) are flexible, protect edges well from impacts, and suit high-traffic areas due to greater crack resistance. Hard corner guards are rigid and durable; their main function is mechanical corner protection and they can also serve a decorative purpose.
