When designing any public facility that is going to see high amounts of traffic, wall protection becomes a major concern. The last thing you want is to be spending hundreds of man hours cleaning, patching holes, or painting in order to keep your facility looking beautiful. Well, that’s where Acrovyn 4000 by Construction Specialties (C/S) comes in. Designed specifically to protect walls and doors, Acrovyn 4000 is a long lasting, attractive way to prevent damage and is easy to keep clean.
Why Wall Protection At All?
When it comes to facilities like Hospitals, Hotels, Schools, and Event Complexes, it can be difficult to keep the walls looking nice for very long. With constant flows of people and equipment, your walls and doors are bound to take a lot of abuse. With Acrovyn 4000 wall protection, you can eliminate the need for ongoing painting and patching from small impacts and scrapes, which will save you both maintenance hours and material costs.
Types of Wall Protection
Acrovyn wall protection comes in many different shapes and sizes. This means that you can always find just the right protection for your facility. Below, we cover some of the basics.
Rigid Sheet:
Acrovyn 4000 Rigid Sheet is PVC-free, mounts with adhesive and features a standard Suede texture. Solid colors (68 standard colors) are available in 4′ x 8′ or 4′ x 10′ sheets and the Chameleon Patterns (24 simulated wood & metal patterns) are available in 4′ x 10′ sheets. Both are available in .040″ or .060″ thickness.
Mechanically fastened 16-gauge stainless steel sheet is available in 304 alloy with #4 satin finish. Smooth texture is standard, bur Diamond Plate texture is also available. Stainless Steel wall protection comes in 4′ x 8′ or 4′ x 10′ sheets.
New Acrovyn by Design has all the same qualities as the standard solid color Acrovyn 4000 sheet with the added advantage of having custom patterns or images added. Now, you can reproduce virtually any image or pattern you want to have on your walls with no worry of expensive art being damaged.
Corner Guards:
No commercial facility is completely safe from damage without covering all angles of an interior wall. Daily traffic can wreak havoc on commercial facilities, but wall corners and other structural protrusions are particularly prone to damage. Acrovyn Corner Guards are a simple solution to protect these areas and are available in designs and material options to suit every interior need.
Corner Guards are available in the 68 standard Solid Colors, 24 simulated wood & metal Chameleon Patterns, and heavy duty Stainless Steel, Aluminum, & EPDM Rubber. All come in a variety of heights, angles, and leg sizes.
Handrails:
The design of a handrail can be the difference between immobility and mobility in commercial facilities. With models ranging from sleek and simple to robust and impact resistant, Acrovyn Handrails can aid in any facility manager’s desire to ease movement while maintaining a cohesive design. Specialty handrail models are also available for behavioural health and bariatric applications.
Handrails are available in the 68 standard Solid Colors, 24 simulated wood & metal Chameleon Patterns, 30 real wood options and heavy duty Stainless Steel. Several handrail types also include the new Quick Lock installation, a simple, clean process.
Crashrails:
Corridors, waiting rooms and lobbies all face the constant risk of damage from mobile forces such as carts, furniture and foot traffic. Installed at appropriate heights to maximize efficiency, Acrovyn Crash Rails offer a full range of protection, from simple accent rail designs to heavy-duty bumper models.
Crashrails are available in the 68 standard Solid Colors, 24 simulated wood & metal Chameleon Patterns, 30 real wood options, heavy duty Stainless Steel and EPDM Rubber.
