Corner Protection And Preserving Lively Corridors
Saturday, March 6th, 2010 | Real Estate
Building maintenance costs a lot of money and can be a real strain on resources so it always god when you can save money. Both time and money are wasted trying to keep walls in top condition with regular re-painting, filling and filing of uneven surfaces. Building managers are constantly on the lookout for loose tiles, plaster or sharp corners because they can be a lot of bother. they can be unpleasant to look at but more than that, they can cause injury to people passing by. Corner protection, plastic wall panelling and bump rails are some of the ways in which we can reduce the amount of money spent every year on maintaining the interior of out buildings.
many buildings experience very high volumes of traffic on a day to day basis including supermarkets, hospitals, schools and offices. As well as people, machinery and equipment also moves through the corridors, like wheelchairs, trolleys and hospital beds. When these things come into contact with the walls damage can occur to the corners of walls and this can be dangerous and not nice to look at. paying your building maintenance staff and getting supplies needed to fix the damage, or using contracted in workers can be a very expensive job.
To save this money you should use protective materials which can absorb high impacts and save the wall underneath from damage. Material which absorb impact and do not get defaced are PVCu like Vinylac. With these trims you see no damage done to either the inner wall or the outer protective unit so the appearance remains of high quality. So there is no need to replace these annually, most come with a guarantee that covers you for the first five years or so.
You can get corner protection in many sizes, colours and finishes. Most corner protection is made to 90? and 135? angles so they should fit around common building corners. The protective shields are attached using industrial strength double sided tape or can be glued on if they are never to be removed. The thickness also ranges depending on the intensity of the impacts occur in the area they will be attached in.
