Professional edge protectors fitting - run cushioned strips along sharp furniture edges. Protects children who run into table edges at full speed.
Sharp Edges At Head Height
Tables, counters, and furniture have sharp edges at exactly toddler head height. Children run, stumble, and collide. Edge protectors turn a cut face into a soft bump.
💡 Pro tip: Coffee tables are the worst offenders - low height, centre of room, sharp edges all round. Protect these first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Edge protectors vs corner protectors?
Corner protectors cover just the corners. Edge protectors run the full length of table edges, counters, or other furniture. Different products for different needs.
Will they stick properly?
With proper surface preparation and quality adhesive, yes. We clean and prepare surfaces for maximum adhesion. Cheap adhesive fails - we use quality products.
What surfaces work?
Most hard surfaces - wood, MDF, glass, laminate. Very rough or porous surfaces might need additional adhesive. We'll assess and advise.
Will they damage furniture?
Quality edge protectors remove cleanly. Any adhesive residue cleans off. Much better than blood on the corner from a head wound.
