Professional corner protector fitting - cover sharp furniture corners and edges to prevent bumps and cuts. Part of childproofing or standalone service.
Coffee Tables Are Head Height
When toddlers learn to walk, they fall. A lot. Sharp furniture corners at head height cause cuts and bruises - or worse. Corner protectors provide a soft landing.
💡 Pro tip: The worst culprits are coffee tables and fireplace hearths - exactly at toddler head height. Cover these first.

|---|---|
| Coffee table corners | High - head height |
| Fireplace hearth | High - hard surface |
| TV unit corners | Medium - head height |
| Dining table corners | Medium - growing with child |
| Bedside tables | Lower - bedroom falls |

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting yourself? Here's what works:
🔧 What you'll need
- Quality corner protectors
- Surface cleaner
- Possibly additional adhesive
- Hair dryer (helps adhesion)
📐 Fitting steps
- Clean surface thoroughly (grease stops adhesion)
- Warm adhesive with hair dryer
- Press firmly for 30+ seconds
- Allow adhesive to cure before testing
- Check next day and repress if needed
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Surface not clean enough
- Cheap protectors (fall off)
- Not pressing long enough
- Covering corner but leaving edge exposed
💡 Pro trick: For stubborn corners or high-risk areas, use additional adhesive tape as backup. Better over-secured than falling off.
