Wall Protection

Get Maximum Protection Against Wall Damage

At SPS CleanTech, we offer a wide range of wall protection systems that help minimize damage from mobile devices (skids, carts, trolleys, hospital beds) as well as from human traffic. Our portfolio includes wainscoting panels, crash rails, corner guards and bollards that addresses most facility needs.

The Importance of Wall Protection in Cleanrooms

Wall protection is vital to safeguard your walls and other surfaces from damage that results in scuff marks, cracking, denting and peeling.  Such wall defects not only impact the aesthetics of the facility but can also drive up maintenance costs that add to the facility’s operating budget.  In any critical environment such as operating rooms or drug manufacturing labs, downtime caused by wall repairs can lead to lost revenue and disrupted operations.   

For controlled environments and high-hygiene environments, like pharmaceutical labs and health care facilities, damaged walls pose an even greater risk – they become potential sites for microbial contamination, compromising the sterility and hygiene standards crucial to these environments.  Wall protection solutions such as wainscoting panels, crash rails, corner guards and bollards can reduce damage from inadvertent contact and minimize scuffs, dents and cracks that can affect aesthetics and sterility.  These systems also require minimal to no maintenance which cuts down on costs.

Wainscoting Panels

Wainscoting panels are used to protect the lower sections of walls where impacts and abrasions most frequently occur.  SPS Cleantech offers PVC and Stainless Steel panels that can be mounted over existing walls.  Typically the 4 foot by 10 foot panels are mounted horizontallyt so the protection goes 4 feet up from the floor. These panels are impact resistant, don’t require any maintenance and can improve the aesthetics of the facility.

Crash Rails/Bumpers

Crash Rails (also known as Bumpers) offer flexible placement options ~ they can be mounted anywhere on the wall or mounted to the floor.  These systems can be flat metal stock or tubular stock.  Typically made of 304 or 316 stainless steel they are durable and withstand the rigorous cleaning regime used in cleanrooms.  When positioned correctly they prevent mobile devices, that would have contacted walls, from causing wall damage.

Crash Rails are versatile additions to any cleanroom or facility. SPS CleanTech can help you choose the right style, size and material that protects your walls.

Corner Guards

Corners are typically the most frequently damaged part of the wall.  As mobile devices are maneuvered around corners they can often go astray and hit the corner edge.  Applying protective corner guards along the height of the corner will enhance protection, maintain the integrity of the wall and eliminate the ongoing repairs from damage.  SPS CleanTech offers Corner Guards in any height required up to 8 feet high.  The material can be 304 or 316 stainless steel.  

Bollards

In high-traffic zones and areas exposed to heavy equipment or forklifts, floor mounted Bollards can be used to provide maximum protection.  These heavy duty barriers can absorb impacts and prevent equipment from damaging walls.  Bollards can be made of a variety of metals and in a wide range of shapes, diameters and heights.  They are perfect around areas such as warehouses and loading docks.
