Wall Protection Strategies for High-Traffic Library Environments

For high-traffic environments such as a library, especially around an entrance or by the counter or reference desk, it might be a good idea to consider adding a hygienic wall cladding system. In today’s blog article, we want to go over why these systems are beneficial in high-traffic areas when cleanliness is important.

In a library, there may be plenty of traffic coming and going. There might be students with backpacks hanging around, random people doing research, and other assorted individuals. If the library is crowded, then people may be standing around and leaning on things including your walls.

Resistance to Damage

Wall-cladding systems are resistant to dents and abrasions, the type of damage which looks terrible and gives microorganisms a chance and location for congregating. These wall systems are easy to clean and always look great.

Non-porous

Because these wall-cladding systems are non-porous, they are resistant to mold, and things like pen marks are easy to clean. Painted walls are easy to damage if you try to clean them. Wall-cladding systems will last for many years, much longer than a coat of paint.

Seamless

Solid-surface wall systems have no seams or invisible ones. They are smooth. When you have a lot of foot traffic like in a library, an easy-to-clean wall system would make the room so much more hygienic. This kind of seamless system can be completely customized to whatever shape of room you have to work with.

We strongly recommend a seamless wall protection system as a strategy to keep your library clean. These types of systems are used throughout industry, wherever cleanliness is important, because they are much longer lasting and easier to clean than regular walls.
