Looking for ways to save money when it comes to building maintenance is something that we all do. 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. If someone comes into contact with defective walls they can be injured and on a less serious note they are unsightly to look at. 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.
Some of the busiest places on a day to day basis are the insides of hospitals, schools, offices and supermarkets. As well as people, machinery and equipment also moves through the corridors, like wheelchairs, trolleys and hospital beds. If these things come into contact with the walls then the result can be unsightly damage that might cause people harm. When corner protection is not in use, this can lead to expensive repair work by the building’s maintenance staff or contracted labourers.
You can use protective angles to absorb any impact on the corners and prevent damage from being done to the walls underneath. Choose corner trims and angles which are made from PVCu like Vinylac because these are resistant to abrasion and impacts. This means that not only do they save the corner from damage, but the impact does not lower the quality of the corner protection itself. 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. Most corner protection is made to 90
