Every table corner at home should be protected for different reasons, being one of the most relevant children safety. Sharp table corners can pose a significant risk to children, who may bump into them while playing or running around, which could lead to serious injuries such as cuts, bruises, or even more severe head injuries. Furthermore, another reason is to protect pets as active pets, especially smaller ones, can run into corners and hurt themselves.
No matter which table corner are we referring to, over time, table corners can become chipped or damages from constant use and accidents. Protecting the corners helps maintain the table’s appearance and longevity. And last, aesthetic reasons are also important, as some people may prefer to protect their table corners to keep furniture looking new and well-maintained.
In relation with this, a way to protect every table corner is with corner wards made of foam or silicone. Soft foam guards are made of soft, cushioned foam that absorbs impact, they come in various colours and sizes to match your décor. On the other hand, silicone guards, often transparent, blending well with most table designs, are flexible and provide a good level of protection.
Another way to do it is with edgebanding, which is similar to corner wards but extend along the edges of the table as well, offering a comprehensive protection for both corners and edges. From our advanced industrial facilities in Castalla (Alicante), at Protecnic, we manufacture PVC and ABS edging for the furniture sector. So if you are looking for an edgebanding solution for your table corner, on our website, we have created a cross-reference chart that allows us to find the one that best fits the needs of each client and each specific project.
Some tips for an effective protection is to ensure that whatever method you use is securely attached to the table to prevent it from slipping off or being easily removed. Moreover, periodically check the condition of the corner protectors to ensure that they are still providing adequate protection and replace them if they are worn out. And, if you have children or pets, ensure the materials used in the corner protectors are non-toxic and safe for all. By taking these steps, you can create a safer environment at home, while also maintaining the condition of your furniture.
