Why Protective Covers for Doors are Critical for High Foot Traffic Areas

It’s easy to take the doors in our businesses for granted, but when you stop and think, there aren’t many features in your building that go through more usage on an average day.

In high foot traffic areas, such as the entrance, corridors or waiting rooms, your doors are more vulnerable to damage, no matter how much care you take.

When you take into account how much this ends up costing you time and money for repairs, it’s a lot of profit being spent on an avoidable problem. Therefore, precaution and prevention are your best bets.

When it comes to solutions, few are as simple and effective as protective door covers. Protectors provide a great, long-term solution that will protect your doors, increase their lifespan, and give your business a new splash of life. In this article, we’re going to look at how protective covers for doors are a must-have for high foot traffic areas.

With the availability of a wide range of design options that supply durability and cost-effectiveness, what’s not to like?

Durability

Door protection is a product that’s all about bringing safety, functionality and strength to your workplace. The key to supplying the best cover for your door is using quality, durable materials. Our products are made with strong PVC, which provides your door with an impact resistant casing which can absorb strong bumps and crashes from even the heaviest item.

No matter how careful we are, we all make mistakes. Accidents happen. In a busy area like a hospital, school or shop, it only takes a good hit from a trolley, luggage, bed or even someone’s foot to cause scratches, dents and scuffs on your door. Not only does this make your business look less pleasing, it could damage the door itself, which may lead to more serious repairs or even a replacement.

When you envelope your door with protection, it provides armour against any impact which not only stops unsightly marks on your business, but protects the door itself. Damage to the frames, edges or structure of the door can impede functionality and the safety of your workplace. Door protection is therefore a great investment which will protect your business area and the people in it.

Door protection supplies insurance and fortification in a wide range of businesses including:

  • Hospitals
  • Aged Care housing
  • Healthcare facilities
  • Childcare
  • Offices
  • Waiting rooms
  • Animal shelters, vets and pet care facilities
  • Sports facilities
  • Schools
  • Anywhere where doors are used often and need to be protected.

 

Cost-Effectiveness

The biggest advantage of protective door covers is the money they will save you in the long term. Work areas are busy, hectic areas and even the smallest bump from wheelchairs, trolleys or furniture can damage your door.

Even the smallest scratch can be a problem to repair, taking up valuable time and money that could be put to better use. In severe cases, you might even need to buy a replacement door. The price of this really starts to add up when this happens again and again. All the parts of your door are vulnerable, including frames and edges, and therefore, for the best results, it’s worth investing in quality door protection.

Door protectors supply a shield against all the daily impact your doors go through. The safety barrier supplies security for your door, protecting it from scratches, scuffs, chips, dents and markings. Frame protectors and edge protectors will help provide your door with a complete safeguard. When it comes to getting returns for your investment, quality door protection only has to prevent a few of these incidents before they pay for themselves.

The extra layer of protection strengthens your door, and this fortification will increase your door’s lifespan. Not only does it give you value for money for your equipment, it will add a few years before you need to worry about a replacement.

Low maintenance

PVC is scratch and buff resistant and is able to handle heavy impact. It’s also an antibacterial material, making it ideal for hospital and kitchen areas. Best of all, cleaning is a breeze, with a simple wash with warm water being all you need.
