Top Marks for Yeoman Shield protection

Yeoman Shield, the UK's leading manufacturer of architectural surface protection, has been installed into Heworth Grange School, Gateshead, following a devastating fire, which destroyed the original school building.

With nearly 1400 pupils, aged 11-18, attending the secondary school, everyday wear and tear quickly took its toll on the fabric of the building especially in corridors and around stairwells.

Looking for ways to put a stop to further expensive and unsightly damage, the school's Building Manager, Jim Slack, called in Yeoman Shield Area Sales Manager, Steve Hawke, for advice.

"Although the new building was only four years old, it was clear that the volume of pedestrian traffic had left its mark and urgent action was required," Steve explained.

Walls in the school's corridors, classrooms and staircases are now protected by Yeoman Shield Wall Protection Panels in brown topped off with 75mm Protection Rail in a complementary mushroom colour. The wall panels were supplied in a dark colour with a Hessian relief pattern to conceal damage from impact and abrasion. Vulnerable wall corners and pillars now have the added protection of specially formed 75 x 75mm Corner Protection Angles and Yeoman Protection Strip.

Jim Slack said: "We were looking for effective ways to protect our buildings and budgets. Yeoman Shield provided us with the ideal solution and we are delighted with the results."
