Wall Guards and Corner Guards

It seems as though parking garages have become the greatest solution to lack of parking in metropolitan areas. The construction of a parking garage can double, triple, or even quadruple the parking availability for hospitals, hotels, office buildings and more. However, even the greatest solutions to problems come with their own set of concerns and liabilities.

Like any parking facility, the standard concerns of traffic moving too quickly through lanes is the norm.  This is usually resolved with the addition of speed humps or similar traffic control measures.

However, unlike an open parking lot, most parking garages are designed to get the maximum number of vehicles in the minimum amount of space. This means that vehicles are parked more closely to one another, and to walls, pillars and other structural necessities. This is where problems can occur. Many times, it’s difficult for drivers to judge their distance from these types of structures. And they end up bumping into walls, opening doors into side walls, and potentially backing into pillars.

These minor bumps and scrapes may not seem like much, but over time they can become a big hazard. Plus, drivers are never happy when their vehicles get damaged. So this can bring repercussions against the facility owner for liability for damages.

So, how do you avoid, or at the very least, limit these kinds of troubles? One way is by using additional protection to walls and corners. This comes in the form of rubber wall guards and corner guards. These are manufactured from high-impact virgin rubber and offer durable, long lasting protection in these types of situations.

High-intensity yellow reflective tape is added to each of the three styles to ensure they are easily visible, and draw attention to problem areas, making drivers more aware of hazards. Plus, in the event that a car does bump into a wall, or a door is opened into a corner, the rubber protects both the structure from damages, as well as protects the vehicle from dents & scratches.

Installation is quick and easily done by one person. Plus, they’re cost-effective. So it’s an economical way to avoid larger expenses in the future. Adding Wall Guards and Corner Guards to indoor or outdoor parking facilities can help with reduce structural problems, reduce liabilities and improve customer experience all around.
