How Wall Protection Systems Are Adapted to Meet the Needs of Vancouver Industries

Vancouvers vibrant economy is home to many different businesses and industries with many different work environments. Many of these work environments are busy places that can’t afford long shutdowns to repair large building features such as walls. Therefor it is in the best interests of these businesses to ensure that they don’t need to regularly make extensive repairs on their walls. They can do this by investing in wall protection systems to protect high traffic and high impact areas so the walls take minimal damage. In today’s blog we will be looking at how wall protection systems are adapted to meet the needs of Vancouver industries.

Wall Protection Systems can be useful for a wide variety of businesses and industries like libraries, offices, schools, hotels, gyms, and restaurants. Different types of wall protection include chair rails, handrails, corner guards, wall guards, rigid wall sheets, and wall bases. Various materials and styles can be used to adapt to the needs of any space, materials include plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, wood, and vinyl. Crash Rails are good for preventing carts, wheelchairs, palette jacks or other large movable equipment from running into walls and are thus useful for any business that involves moving equipment.

Handrails can act as both a wall guard and a guide to support people as they move through a building. They are especially useful in high traffic areas as they prevent people from touching the walls, so you only need to clean the railings rather than the wall. Sheets and wall coverings can help protect large areas of wall from damage. Vinyl Wall Sheets are good for industries that need stain protection and scratch resistance whereas metal wall sheets are good for industries that need impact resistance.

Healthcare and other industries that require protection from bacteria can get wall protection systems made of non-porous and moisture resistant material to create environments hostile to microbial build up. They can also take advantage of anti-microbial cladding to prevent the growth of dangerous microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and mould. Bed Locators are another specialized wall protection system used in hospitals and healthcare facilities that help staff guide a bed into position while protecting the walls from damage caused by repeatedly moving beds. Chair Rails are wooden strips that prevent chair backs from scraping, scratching or denting walls and are useful in environments where chair damage to the walls is common. Kick Plates protect the lower parts of doors and walls from scuffs or scratches from shoes or carts and are essential for businesses that have a lot of movement in and out of areas divided by doors.
