I know peeps on here like answering weird questions so here goes....

I need some of that industrial plastic right-angle strip that you glue on corners of walls to stop trolleys destroying the plasterwork.  I can find manufacturers but need a small outlet for a couple of 1.5m lengths.

Searching DIY websites turns up nothing useful.

Any (helpful ) ideas?

[Nickbat]

Any good, Chris?

Try somewhere that does perspex signs, or a proper builders suppliers,( especially if they supply hospitals/schools etc)if they haven't got it in stock they might be able to source some for you

Right thanks for those, guys.  I didn't see the B&Q stuff even though I'd scoured the website.

It was more substantial stuff that I was hoping for; sort of 100mm-ish like in hospitals

That's getting close although 1.5mm thick is not going to take a canteen trolley at char-lady speeds I suspect.  This is for a church kitchen I've agreed to decorate.  EHO don't like the possibility of germs stuck in the gouged plaster.

I can find manufacturers but no outlets.  May have to ring one.

I don't think they go to 1.5m long.  Would need 3 on each corner and EHO don't like joins 'cos of germs.

Fabricate some from sheet aluminium.


I said 'sheet' aluminium.

I'd need a bender.  Are you volunteering?

It takes PE trolleys and the lunchtime hot trolley without a mark! They are 'no more nailed' on and sealed around with silicone and have taken many a knock but are still perfect.

Any thicker and your getting towards cladding stuff!
