Rubbing strip is a term commonly used to describe a protective strip installed on the sides or edges of a vehicle, boat, or any structure to prevent damage from impacts or friction. However, there are other terms that can be used interchangeably with rubbing strip, including bumper strip, fender strip, scuff strip, protection strip, and edge guard. These words are used to describe the same item that serves the purpose of protecting the surface of a structure by absorbing shock and reducing friction. Regardless of the term used, rubbing strips are effective in safeguarding surfaces against wear and tear caused by frequent use or accidental impacts.
