Create Full Metal Wall Protectors with Steel!

To protect your walls effectively and decoratively, metal is ideal! Yes, it shines, cuts, attaches, and adapts to your wishes. Let's see how to make your metal wall guards.

Wall guards? Yes, but not with just any metal!

🔰 For your wall guards exposed to heat, prefer‘stainless steel orsteel, which are much less conductive thanaluminum. If you still want aluminum—for weight reasons, for example—make sure there is enough space between your heat source and your panel, to prevent it from getting too hot, near a wood-burning stove or a radiator, for example.

🔰 For your wall guards exposed to moisture,stainless steel is ideal, but l’aluminum can also do the job if it's not permanent exposure, such as in a kitchen backsplash for example, or… behind your toilet!

🔰 For your wall guards exposed to impacts or friction, prioritize non-smooth surfaces, such as'stainless steel leather texture or brushed, l’anti-fingerprint aluminium or anti-slip.

Finally, for all your 100% decorative applications, anything goes! Stainless steel mirror or magnetic reflective, brushed or leather texture, anti-fingerprint aluminium with a brushed surface or soft texture, not forgetting the glossy !

So… does that inspire you?

Go to the product sheet of your choice, enter your measurements in millimeters and the coordinates of mounting holes if necessary. In the accessories section, you will find everything you need: the fasteners, the metal-adhesive glue, and even somedouble-sided adhesive super strong to make your adhesive plates.

Bonjour,

Pourquoi, pour les crédences, ne parle-t-on jamais d'acier vernis ?

Merci de votre retour

Sylvain

Replied by: John Steel On 2014-01-05 Bonjour Sylvain,

Excellente question!
Comme vous le savez, l'acier par essence rouille. Pour empêcher cet effet, on le peint ou on le vernit. Ce dernier traitement conserve l'aspect bleu sombre de l'acier et le stabilise dans le temps. Dans une cuisine, il y a d'autres contraintes: l'hygiène, la facilité d'entretien et le contact alimentaire. Les vernis qu'on applique sur les aciers étant généralement des dérivés pétroliers, ils ne remplissent pas les caractéristiques nécessaires pour satisfaire ces 3 contraintes. Par exemple, le produit doit rester insensible dans le temps aux éclaboussures d'huile ET aux détergents. Ce qui n'est -pour les vernis que je connais- pas encore le cas. Par contre c'est suffisant pour des meubles par exemple.

J'espère avoir répondu à votre question.

John
