Corner Protection And Preserving Lively Corridors

We are always looking for ways to save money when it comes to building maintenance because annual bills can be a considerable amount. Walls are one of the main areas in which money is wasted on regular maintenance work whether that is re-painting, filling or filing. Sharp corners, loose tiles or plaster and unstable materials can all cause building managers trouble. Not only because they are unsightly but because they can cause harm to people who walk past them. Corner protection and other forms of wall protection like panelling and bump rails can all save money on building maintenance be reducing the need for regular work.

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.

Preventing damage being done to the walls and corners can be done by attaching protective material to the corners which absorb impacts and keep the walls smooth. 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. A guarantee should cover any defects or poor performance for a few years so there will be no annual replacements.

Modern corner protection comes in a number of colours, lengths and sizes. They are manufactured to fit around the most common angles in buildings, which are generally 90° and 135°. The protective shields are attached using industrial strength double sided tape or can be glued on if they are never to be removed. If you know that your building is subject to high levels of impact then you can choose a range of thicknesses.
