A major cost factor with property is maintenance. Whether it is your own four walls or an investment property, as an owner you want to keep it in good condition - and investing in stainless steel edge protection can help push repairs far into the future or even avoid them entirely.
In particularly high-traffic places such as corridors or the stairwell, the probability of damage and wear is greatest. Precisely there, it is worth considering whether investing in stainless steel edge protection makes economic sense. You can order it from us in individual dimensions and only have to fit it yourself.
What is stainless steel edge protection for?
In principle, stainless steel edge protection has just one function: to protect the edge it covers from damage. Damage occurs when something knocks against the edge - especially on heavily used routes such as stairwells or corridors, contact between wall and transported objects happens again and again.
The result is initially cosmetic defects, which over time can grow into a structural problem: if an edge is repeatedly struck by heavy objects, the substance inevitably suffers too.
Further uses for stainless steel edge protection are tiles, or the finishing edge of a tiled splashback, which is likewise particularly sensitive. The steps of staircases can also be protected from wear with stainless steel edge protection.
A simple but effective remedy
In principle, stainless steel edge protection is just a stainless steel sheet bent once. But that does not mean you can simply make a suitable edge protector yourself: it takes both force and skill to produce edge protection from a stainless steel sheet, because it comes down to applying force evenly. That is why, with us, a professional machine takes this over - one that can bend not only angle profiles but other shapes as well.
You will probably encounter the first difficulty in acquiring a sheet of the right thickness and size in the first place. You will presumably have to cut it first - and that too is no child's play. That is why we have a dedicated sheet cutting department with a large machine park that can cut thin and thicker sheets exactly.
For the end result to meet your visual standards, you absolutely need a straight edge for bending the sheet. For a 90° angle, that can be a tabletop, for example. It gets more difficult if you need a different angle: then you must first build a model out of wood over which you can bend the sheet. As you can see, stainless steel edge protection is not something you knock together quickly yourself.
The alternative: order stainless steel edge protection online
If you want to save a lot of time and probably nerves as well, you can order individual stainless steel sheets from us online. Do not be surprised - this is not a mass-produced item, after all. We recognised precisely that and designed our production processes around stainless steel sheets made to customer specification. Smaller orders from private individuals are just as interesting to us as larger order volumes from companies.
We have automated our production as far as possible. For you, that means we generally hand your individual stainless steel edge protection over for dispatch within 48 hours of receiving the order - possibly making us even faster than you would be if you first had to obtain sheet and tools.
Edge protection and angle profiles made to measure
Together, we can move your project forward quickly - by sharing the work. You measure on site and determine the dimensions; we then manufacture an angle profile as stainless steel edge protection to your specifications.
Just a few days after your order, you receive a parcel from us. All that remains is to fit the stainless steel edge protection. They are usually screwed on, though in principle welding or brazing is also possible.
You take on the work on site, and we manufacture exactly to your specifications with our machines and experience. Incidentally, the following dimensions are ordered particularly often from us:
- Stainless steel edge protection 10x10
- Stainless steel edge protection 30x30
- Stainless steel edge protection 50x50
Personal advice for the best result
We may sell our made-to-measure stainless steel sheets online, but that does not mean we are out of reach for our customers - quite the opposite. Personal contact is very important to us, which is why we take all orders through our sales team. Our colleagues know stainless steel and its properties inside out, so they can tell you which stainless steel grade is best suited to your intended use.
Our colleagues can also advise you on which forms of surface treatment we offer. With them, you can achieve a particular visual effect that can considerably reduce how disruptive edge protection feels visually.
Simply get our advice without obligation. We can quote you a price immediately and take your order. Fast, secure delivery and exact adherence to your dimensions are guaranteed for every single order.
