YEOMAN SHIELD
SCHOOL USES TIME WISELY TO PROTECT INTERIORS WITH YEOMAN SHIELD
Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School based in Kingstanding , just outside Birmingham , took advantage of a quieter time , with the majority of pupils home schooling , to undertake interior wall protection work with Yeoman Shield .
Catering for 700 pupils aged 11- 16 the school has corridors and break-out areas throughout the school where walls and corners especially are exposed to marking and impact damage caused by the everyday movement of pupils , staff and equipment .
The damage not only detracts from the smart image the school strives to up hold in all areas , but also becomes a strain on the maintenance budget with constant requirements of repair and redecoration .
With the aim to reduce such damage and expenditure , after research and receiving samples , Head Teacher , Robert Swanwick , contacted Yeoman Shield to supply and carry out the installation of a complete wall protection system .
Following strict Covid guidelines throughout the process , Yeoman Shield ’ s directly employed fixing operatives installed Yeoman Shield FalmouthEx Wall Protection Panels , ( after boarding-out some of the brickwork to provide an even finish ), at 1250 mm high to corridor and dining areas in a Dusty Grey colour to complement artwork decoration applied to the upper walls .
Staircase walls were also fitted with the wall protection panels with the addition of Yeoman Shield 50 mm Dia . Guardian Handrail in Timber with attractive Stainless Steel accessories .
Vulnerable wall corners were protected with 75 x 75 mm corner protection in a matching colour and Yeoman Shield 110 mm White PVCu cover over a solid timber core skirting was added .
This full Yeoman Shield wall protection system will abolish the future need for repainting walls and skirting with cleaning being the only maintenance required , reducing budgets spends .
The rigid PVCu material that Yeoman Shield products are manufactured from are easy to clean , do not promote the growth of bacteria or mould and are not affected by the use of commercial cleaners , assisting in the up keep of high hygiene standards .
Mr Swanwick commented “ the quality of the product is exceptional . It has been installed for six months in some places and shows no signs of wear or tear yet . I also cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism of the installation teams , who understand the challenges of working in a school environment and get on with things quietly and efficiently . I am a very happy customer .”
