Medical and Dental Clinic Wall Protection

At Rootex, we provide medical and dental clinic wall protection featuring antibacterial properties to enhance both patient and staff safety.

As Australia’s leading provider and installer of wall protection, our products prevent damage from equipment and accidents while simultaneously reducing the spread of bacteria and infection. Our systems include guard rails, bump rails, corner guards, panelling and handrails, all designed to protect your walls from impact. These features are available in various high-quality materials, including stainless steel and PVC, and offer protection against scratching, dents, spillages or peeling paint.

We understand that every facility has unique requirements, so we offer flexible designs to ensure we can find the right solution for your medical or dentistry clinic. Factors such as the number of daily visitors, size of the building and possible levels of impact are carefully considered when tailoring our plans to your establishment.

Not only is choosing the correct protection system crucial for sustaining the hygiene and integrity of your facility, but it also contributes to a calming and welcoming aesthetic and atmosphere for your visitors.

Rootex has the solution for your wall protection needs, no matter the size of the job.

Preventing Wall Damage in Healthcare Facilities

Healthcare facilities are often very busy environments, which can lead to increased wall damage compared to other settings. Moving equipment and carts through corridors and high-traffic areas, especially during emergencies, can cause scratches and scuffs on the walls and, in some cases, even chips or cracks.

Maintaining high levels of cleanliness is crucial for germ control in any establishment, but particularly in clinics due to the increased risk of infection spread. Frequent cleaning with harsh chemicals can result in peeling paint or discolouration of walls over time, and spillages can lead to staining and soiling.

At Rootex, we offer a range of wall protection systems to help you prevent damage in your facility from both collisions and cleaning. Our solutions are centred around high-quality PVC wall protection and also include corner guards that shield the vulnerable edges of your walls and crash rails designed to absorb the impact of collisions. These safety features combine durability with an appealing aesthetic and are available in a range of materials to match your colour scheme and specific requirements.

Hygienic and Easy-to-Clean Wall Solutions

Advances in science mean that many surfaces you see and touch every day are bacteria resistant. Germ hotspots such as lift buttons and door handles are often coated with copper alloys due to their natural antimicrobial properties or antibacterial glazes are added to ceramic and porcelain tiles for an extra level of protection in bathrooms.

At Rootex, we offer a range of advanced wall protection solutions that integrate these scientific advancements and provide effective hygiene control for your clinic. Medical-grade wall coverings play a critical role in infection prevention in clinics and work to ensure the safety of everyone who enters your facility.

More Than Just Hygiene

While hygiene is the top priority for medical and dental facilities, there are several other benefits to installing wall protection with Rootex.
Certain wall protection materials have soundproofing qualities that can help reduce noise transmission around your facility. This is particularly beneficial in busy areas or emergency departments, enhancing patient comfort and staff productivity.

Fire-rated wall protection provides an extra layer of safety by ensuring your building complies with necessary code requirements and meets fire standards and regulations.

By reducing the extent of damage and the frequency of repairs, wall protection becomes a cost-effective, long-term solution. Less downtime for fixes or refurbishment ensures your clinic can operate at full capacity, and you can continue to serve the needs of your patients.
