SDS Defend Wall Protection Sheet

Thermoplastic Sheet Protection

Thermoplastic Sheet Protection for healthcare environments

 

The upkeep of busy hospital, healthcare and clinical environments is a never-ending task, with daily wear and tear manifesting itself in deteriorating paintwork, damaged plaster, scuffed doors, scraped frames, nicks and scratches. 

Not only is this unsightly and fails to present a professional appearance for visitors and patients, but it can also make maintenance and cleaning a much more difficult task, creating issues with hygiene and germs.  

SDS provides a very effective solution to the perennial problem: Defend thermoplastic sheet protection. These sheet products can be fitted to most surfaces requiring fortification and their tough, anti-abrasion finish will rebuff the damage of daily bumps and knocks. 

Installed to our exacting standards, Defend sheeting will make frequent and expensive maintenance works a thing of the past as both sheet types require little more than a light cleaning routine to keep them looking neat and smart.  

Using a combination of SDS’s thermoplastic sheet protection with profile protection is an excellent way to counter inevitable shocks and collisions and will ensure the fabric of your hospital, clinical or healthcare facility is admirably preserved, year after year. 

SDS Defend is available as BIM models in the NBS National BIM library.
