Full details

This Vigil Heavy-Duty Rubber Wall Guard is designed for environments prone to daily bumps and scrapes, offering essential protection for walls and vehicles in commercial and industrial settings like car parks, garages, and loading bays. Its primary benefit is impact absorption, significantly reducing damage from minor collisions. A key consideration is that fixings are not included and must be purchased separately based on wall type.

FAQs

What fixings do I need for installation?

Fixings are not included. For solid concrete walls, Shield Anchor Bolts are recommended. For other wall types such as brick or blockwork, you will need to use suitable masonry anchors and screws appropriate for your specific wall construction.

Can these guards be used outdoors?

Yes, the Vigil Heavy-Duty Rubber Wall Guard is constructed from weatherproof, recycled solid rubber making it suitable for both internal and external applications.

How do I clean the wall guard?

You can clean the wall guard by wiping it with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the surface.

What is the wall guard made of?

Each rubber wall guard is constructed of 100% recycled solid rubber.

Can I connect multiple guards together?

Yes, the design allows for individual installation or for guards to be placed end-to-end to protect a larger area or longer stretch of wall.

What is the weight of a single wall guard?

A single rubber wall guard weighs approximately 3.7kg.

What kind of impacts can this guard protect against?

The guard is designed to absorb impacts from minor bumps and scrapes from vehicles (cars, vans, lorries, forklifts) and shopping trolleys, preventing damage to walls and vehicles.

Troubleshooting

Wall guard is loose after installation

Ensure the correct type and size of fixings were used for the wall material. Re-drill holes if necessary and use longer or stronger fixings. Check that screws/bolts are fully tightened.

Yellow strip is fading or dirty

Clean the surface with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For stubborn dirt, a non-abrasive cleaner may be used sparingly. Replacement is generally not feasible for the strip alone; consider replacing the entire unit if severe damage or wear occurs.

Rubber appears degraded or cracked

This may indicate prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures beyond its design limits. Inspect for any potential external factors. If degradation is widespread, the unit may need replacement.
