Base Protector, generally 300mm high, often made of 3mm thickness, there are 6mm, the conventional size of 100 * 100 * 300 * 3mm, used to protect the column, there are L-shaped L Type and U-shaped U Type,
L-shaped generally used in the shelves against the wall at the corner
U-shaped shelves used for the two ends and the channel.
Crush Barrier, generally 300/500mm high, 800-1000mm long, placed on the side of the column piece.
