Commercial properties are subject to wear and abuse by the public and workers alike. Corners especially suffer damage when objects such as wheelchairs or rolling carts strike the corner taking a chuck of plaster with it. Corners deteriorate quickly in these conditions.
Hospitals, Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facilities
The corners in the hallway are especially subject to hard wear and tear. Wheelchairs in nursing homes will take the corner too quickly and strike the corner opening hard. With the introduction of the motorized wheelchair with careless operators, the damage to walls and corners is horrendous. Hospital orderlies frequently move beds and carts quickly and may hit the corners. Doorframes may also take a hit under these conditions.
Retail Stores, Grocery Stores, and Shopping Malls
Retail operations have the twin challenge of protecting doors and corners from the high floor traffic of buyers and from staff stocking shelves and moving stock to another location. Shopping carts are especially dangerous to walls and doors. Corner moldings can protect and enhance the finish of the shop.
Apartment and Office Buildings
High floor traffic and movers will knock into walls, corners and doorframes. Elevators are especially subject to abuse and will benefit with protectors.
Warehouses, Factories and Industrial Service Centers
Stainless steel corner guards will protect corners in warehouses and storage areas. Workers are influenced by first impressions. If they think the building is not worth maintaining, they will perform shoddy workmanship. A properly maintained building for factory workers, sales personnel, and telephone customer service representatives, are all influenced by the appearance of their surroundings. Keep it tidy & unblemished.
First Impressions Matter!
People judge a building by its appearance. Nicks and chips in the wall, corners and doorframes indicate a building that is poorly maintained. Then the buyer assumes the rest of the business operations are poorly run and they will take their business elsewhere.
Solution: Stainless Steel Corner Guards
The most esthetic solution for new and renovated construction is installing stainless steel corner guards on wall corners and doorframes. Stainless steel is strong and resists dents, nicks and chips. Lengths can vary but are usually 48 inches long. Maintenance personnel prefer stainless steel for its durability and the wide availability of stock parts to choose the correct guard to stand up to physical abuse.
