Interiors of buildings such as hospitals, schools, hotels, offices, restaurants, retail environments, and leisure facilities all experience significant wear and tear from people, trolleys, chairs, and a variety of other objects.
The corners of walls are among the most
vulnerable areas, which can quickly become severely damaged if no impact
protection is used. For many years, Industrial Safety Barriers has protected
building interiors with Acrovyn, rubber, stainless steel sheeting, handrails,
crash rails, and corner guards. But, when it comes to wall corner protectors, which one should you go with? Here are a
few pointers to get you started:
Situation: The Congested
Hospital Corridor
Hospital corridors must be protected from
both pedestrian and wheeled traffic, such as beds, wheelchairs, and various
trolleys. Furthermore, any protection must match the hospital's color schemes
and meet strict hygiene and infection control standards.
In this case, our Acrovyn heavy/severe duty
SM20 and SSM20 corner guards are an excellent choice because they flex under
impact to protect the underlying wall. Acrovyn is a tough and hygienic
"through color" material with a pebblette surface finish specifically
designed to minimize and hide the effects of impact damage.
Acrovyn corner guards are popular in
clinics, surgeries, schools, colleges, offices, retail settings, and hotels.
Situation:
Commercial Kitchen
Restaurants, caterers, and other commercial
food preparation environments require high standards of cleanliness, which
explains the prevalence of stainless steel equipment that is tough and easy to
clean.
Our heavy-duty 40A and 75A stainless steel surface-mounted corner guards are the obvious choices in this situation. They are made of strong 1.6mm thick stainless steel, are easily installed with construction adhesive and have cranked edges to accommodate wall irregularities.
Corner guards made of stainless steel are popular in supermarkets, leisure center shower areas, pharmaceutical areas, and laboratories.
Situation –
Delivery Area and Loading Bay
Back-of-house delivery areas and loading
bays are difficult to safeguard. Vehicle traffic and large loading trolleys
cause a lot of damage, and there are often both indoor and outdoor areas that
need to be protected.
In this case, we recommend our heavy-duty
75C and 100C corner guards in tough EPDM rubber. Corner guards are great for
absorbing shocks and have excellent weather resistance. They are suitable for
fixing directly to concrete, steel, masonry, and timber.
Corner guards made of rubber are popular in
car parks, factories, distribution centers, plant rooms, and baggage handling
areas.
