Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a corner guard and a wall guard, and a method of installing the corner guard and a wall guard that reduces the installation time and provides an improved aesthetic appearance. A corner guard and a wall guard each includes an elongated cover member that is terminated at one end, or both ends, by an end cap. The end cap is sonically welded or otherwise adhered directly to the cover member rather than being attached separately to an underlying base member. The cover member with end cap can then be slid on or snapped onto the underlying base member together.

Abstract: A handrail system includes an elongated rail member, wherein the rail member includes a slot for carrying illumination elements, such as LED elements. The LED elements are provided in a light assembly that includes the LED's carried on a printed circuit board that is held by a lens member, the lens member being captured in the rail member slot. A cover the rail member can be co-extruded to have an opaque portion and a clear or translucent portion. The clear or translucent portion can overlie illumination elements. The opaque portion can cover the remainder of the rail member.
