How to install a BluNose® Corner Guard
Please reference our installation instructions for full details
- Clean the surface: The wall surface that the corner guards are to be applied must be dry and free of dirt, dust, oil, loose paint, wax and grease.
- Position the BluNose vinyl retainer against the corner of your wall, stagger and drill the required number of holes based on height with a ¼” (6mm) drill bit and position alligator anchors into holes. (4 per 3’, 6 per 4’, 10 per 8’)
- Mount the retainer.
- Overlap the top and bottom caps with the retainer and attach.
- Position the cover on the retainer and adjust the top cap for a tight fit. Starting at the top, push cover onto retainer pressing over the entire length until it snaps into place.
The retainer in a BluNose Corner Guard is unlike any other – the patented design is 4X stronger than aluminum, and 6X stronger than other vinyl retainers. How do we know? Because we tested our BluNose Corner Guards per ASTM F 476-84, paragraph 18. See 1.04 System Description, item #4 in the specification
