Diamond plate wall corners????

[rubberrodder]

I have seen several garages here that have thin aluminum brite-tread/diamond plate wall corners to protect from damage. Both inside corners as well as outside corners. I can find switch plates and outlet covers all over the place. But, when I ask about corner mouldings , I get a blank stare. Any suggestions?

Thought about it. But everyplace I've talked t wants to sell me 1/4 inch thick stuff. The stuff I'm trying to find is aprox. 18 guage or maybe 1/16 th inch thick. really light stuff.

Thank you for the suggestions. I did google "diamond plate" and found it at "the garage store.com". Thank you again.

I think Texas Garages sells it too.

Also Diamondlifegear.com.
I've never used them so not a recommendation, just a source.

There are a nice bunch of folks over at Diamond Life. I've purchased from them many times and always have been satisfied. They even were willing to do some custom bent pieces for me until I figured out how to do it with off-the-shelf parts.

They offer all the items you are looking for and a whole lot more.

Watch their Scratch and Dent section for 50% deals. Although I currently don't see anything listed there, I purchased most of the adhesive-backed tile for my ASYLUM stairway treads at a huge discount.

There are a couple of sellers of that stuff on Ebay, all the time.

Just a thought, but the thicker stuff might look kind of neat in the corners. Go about 3" to either side of the corner. Would add a little depth, not to mention strength to those outside corners.

lowes and home depot sell it, on the hardware isle by the bolts

Yellow pages!!! A company that deals in metal will be much cheaper than Lowes or other big box hardweare stores.

We have a local company called BMG Metals. They sell diamond plate by the 4x8 sheet pretty cheap. Cut your pieces, find a shop with a brake and get them bent.

You can't buy the sheet cheap enough, and pay to have it cut into strips on a shear and bent on a brake, vs. what they sell the ready made corner guard material for on Ebay and other places.
