A Rubber Bumper Protects Property From Damage!
- Doorstops: In order to help protect walls and doorknobs alike, installing rubber bumper protectors on the walls could be the most cost effective and simple solution available. Providing a layer of a durable elastomer, such as Skirtboard, would help to deflect the force from swinging doors to wall surfaces. The rubber material of the solid rubber bumpers will shield the wall from the damaging impact of the doorknob. The physical force spreads out through the surface of the rubber bumper and is absorbed before it can travel through to the wall itself. Doorknobs can easily put dents and holes in walls that are unprotected from their range of motion, but with the proper preemptive placement of a rubber bumper item, this problem can be avoided entirely!
- Weightlifting: Many weight and exercise rooms in both residential and commercial settings are equipped with special flooring to ensure the safety of those working out, the equipment, as well as the subfloor structure. Rubber cushion pad materials are added to areas where heavy-duty weight lifting takes place adds. These rubber bumper protectors help add another layer of precautionary protection. The high impact absorption of rubber ensures that even when the heaviest weights are dropped there will be no damage caused to the equipment or the floor. The force is instead spread throughout the material of the rubber, which is very shock absorbent.
