Providing high quality handrails, corner, door and wall protection throughout most facilities whether in healthcare, education, hotels, sports or industrial units is both good practice and forward-thinking.
Gerflor has more than 70 years’ experience in manufacturing stylish, innovative and eco-responsible vinyl flooring and interior finishes for contract, sport, transport and residential applications.
SPM International has been integrated into the Gerflor brand, offering customers a suite of reliable and decorative systems providing safety, hygiene, easy maintenance and noise management.
Gerflor SPM offers a comprehensive range of wall and door protection, corner protectors and handrails in an extensive range of finishes.
The protective PVC panel range includes Decochoc and Decoclean, for large walls and surfaces together with Decowood which is a wood effect panel that combines wall protection and with the warmth of wood without the drawbacks.
For a more original look, Decotrend panels uplift and highlight interiors with impressive visual effects providing a shaped perspective view with composite and the striking appearance of brushed aluminium.
Gerflor SPM can also custom make panels, using digital printing of imagery to create an aesthetic feel or provide signage solutions to cover walls.
Gerflor SPM handrails are designed to protect against hand-borne infections while being ergonomic and providing good levels of grip. The range of handrails has an innovative bactericidal joint and includes elegant wood effect and aluminium finishes or the option of a PVC sheath. These coordinate with a specially developed range of corner protectors that resist impact and the effects of cleaning and constant use of disinfectant products.
The breadth of the SPM range is both vast and specific and also provides protection for all education applications, together with industrial facilities which also includes clean rooms/controlled environments and the pharmaceutical sector.
A host of ‘back of house’ operations can also benefit from the protective qualities of SPM, as can damp changing areas in all sports areas.
Maxwell Taylor, SPM Specialist, Gerflor, said: “Our range of SPM products are at the very leading-edge of wall, corner and door protection. It’s a range that’s been developed with the customer and the future in mind. SPM provides stunning design and durability coupled to easy maintenance.”
SPM handrails are Equality Act compliant. The anti-microbial joints for handrails have been independently tested to ISO 20743, while the Institute of Pasteur, Lille, (IPL) certifies handrails Decosheet and Decoclean appropriate for use in acute medical areas.
Materials used in the SPM range are mainly non-polluting PVC and aluminium. 100% recyclable and PVC products do not contain heavy metals, or breach REACH regulations and are suitable for use in projects adopting High Quality Environment standards.
