Gradus wall system protects school
Published:  09 November, 2009

Contract interiors specialist Gradus has supplied and fitted a comprehensive wall protection system at a new state-of-the art special school in Wigan, helping to create a safe, easy-to-maintain and colourful learning environment.

Throughout the school's corridors, Gradus installed stainless steel corner guards and Sanparrel rubrails in a variety of co-ordinating colours. Gradus also installed a Sanparrel PVC-u sheet system in the school's sports hall to create an attractive environment and provide additional protection for these vulnerable wall surfaces.

Andrew Perkins, Premises Manager for Oakfield High School, comments: "The wall protection system from Gradus not only complements the school's colour scheme, co-ordinating with the floors in different areas of the school, but it is also durable enough to help reduce ongoing repair and maintenance costs.

"With 130 students, some of whom are wheelchairs users, it was important that the wall protection system could withstand daily wear and tear from pedestrian and wheeled traffic and the Gradus wall protection system really delivered on both quality of installation and product."

The stainless steel corner guards were installed to protect the corridor corners from damage caused by wheelchairs, teaching equipment and schoolbags, whilst the contemporary steel finish suited the school's modern interior design.
