Wall protection for commercial facilities means finding visually appealing, highly durable materials that help protect interior walls from damage due to foot traffic. Not to mention your walls need to be able to withstand the constant movement of equipment, machinery, and product through your commercial building. Heavy-duty wall protection is specially designed and expertly applied to withstand the demands of facilities that must constantly keep things moving to serve customers and protect the bottom line.
Wall protection sheets and panels can prevent damage to the surface of interior walls, maintaining structural integrity for longer than walls covered with paint alone. Many facilities notice the added benefit of noise reduction once wall coverings are incorporated into rooms, hallways, kitchens, dining areas, and other busy places on site. You have many options when choosing a protective wall covering for your commercial building. Here are some we recommend.
Fabric-Backed Vinyl: Vinyl wall coverings with a fabric or artificial substrate. These coverings are laminated to a solid vinyl decorative surface, making them a great choice for high-traffic client- or customer-facing areas.
Paper-Backed and Solid Sheet Vinyl: Vinyl wall covering with a paper substrate laminated to a solid, decorative surface. These sheets are peelable, scrubbable, and known for their durability against wear and tear.
Vinyl-Coated Paper: Vinyl-coated paper has a paper substrate that has been coated/sprayed with a decorative surface of PVC or acrylic vinyl.
Koroseal®: Koroseal wall protection systems are ideal for complete customizability and can incorporate features like corner guards, crash and bumper rails, and more.
Which covering you choose depends on the volume of traffic you have, the aesthetics you want, and any industry health and safety codes that come into consideration in various areas of your space. Your commercial wall covering contractors will work with you to customize a plan.
Before new wall coverings are applied, you need to know your substrate (the underlying wall) is in the best possible condition to receive them. Choosing a team with experience in commercial interior painting means they know what's necessary before putting anything new on the wall:
Removing Old Wallpaper/Wall Coverings
Cleaning Walls
Repairing Structural Issues
Smoothing Wall Surfaces
Taking these steps should be a priority before paper or vinyl-backed coverings go on your wall so you can avoid the premature do-overs and unsightly aesthetics that come with cutting corners.
