\"7Corners are at high risk for damage from impact. Whether the result of employees or freight, corner damage slowly degrades a facility\u2019s appearance over time, eventually creating an air of general disrepair. Unchecked damage can also compromise structural integrity, an issue that can be critical when it occurs at columns intended to bear a great deal of support and pressure. Prepare for impact by evaluating the following 7 most common areas for corner guards, and proactively invest in a safer facility.<\/p>\n

Common Places for Corner Impact<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Elevator Lobbies<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Elevator lobbies are among the most heavily trafficked areas of most commercial facilities, second only to entryways lobbies and reception areas. Elevator lobbies pose a unique threat to walls and corners since they are often the area in which heavy freight is loaded and unloaded from elevators. For areas where interior d\u00e9cor is vibrant and ornate, use invisible corner guards<\/a> to provide protection without disrupting design.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. 90-Degree Hallway Bends<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Long hallways and corridors can always benefit from wall and corner protection, especially when they are used by personnel pushing carts or wheeling dollies. And while safety bumpers are great for the length of the hallway, it\u2019s important to remember to protect wall corners at each 90-degree turn. These areas are prone to damage by personnel and carts that round the bend without leaving enough space to complete the turn.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Locker Room Entryways<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Sure, fitness facility patrons are not likely to intentionally kick, scrape, or otherwise damage the entryways that lead into locker room areas. However, these entries face a very real threat of damage from the vacuums, pressure washers, and other industrial-grade equipment that are used to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in locker rooms.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Food Prep Areas<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Like the areas mentioned above, food prep stations and other kitchen areas have walls and corners that routinely face damage from wheeled carts. Silverware carts, mobile food prep stations, dollies, kegs, and pallets of food\/cooking ingredients are wheeled through these areas on a daily basis. Employees are sometimes hurried, especially during lunch and dinner time rush, which increases the likelihood of accidentally making impact with the wall or corner.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Art and Production Studios<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Artists, photographers, designers, and commercial printers of all backgrounds have at least one thing in common: They all work in a studios that require a certain level of supplies for production, some of which are most feasibly transported by furniture and\/or upright dollies. Corner guards are essential in studio entryways, along hallways, outside storage closets, and in other areas where supply transport and production threaten accidental damage to wall spaces.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Parking Garage Columns<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Most facility owners and managers neglect to consider the danger of uncovered parking columns. On the surface, it may seem unnecessary to cover concrete with anything since it is so naturally strong. However, the average vehicle weighs over 2 tons, which can significantly damage a parking column on impact. Prevent this issue and the danger that results from compromised structural integrity by using products like our Quasar\u00ae Corner Guard<\/a>, specifically designed for use in parking garages and other industrial spaces.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Loading Areas<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Finally, install corner guards at every corner throughout heavily trafficked loading areas. These guards will keep walls looking new despite frequent bumps, scrapes, and impact from freight coming from\/heading to the loading area.<\/p>\n
