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

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.
Busy buildings include hospitals, schools, offices and supermarkets. As well as people, machinery and equipment also moves through the corridors, like wheelchairs, trolleys and hospital beds. When people or these moveable object hit the corners of buildings there can often be a lot of damage done to the structure of the wall as plaster chips off and paintwork becomes unsightly. 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. Your building will stay looking in great condition because there are no marks of damage on the inner walls or the outer protective units. So there is no need to replace these annually, most come with a guarantee that covers you for the first five years or so.
