Wall protection systems for healthcare and high-traffic public buildings: hygienic wall cladding, corner guards, crash rails and OKU-compliant handrails. Altro Whiterock is the reference specification for Malaysian hospital procedure rooms and wet zones.
Wall protection is a category of PVC wall coverings and accessories that protect wall surfaces from impact, abrasion, biological contamination and chemical exposure. Includes sheet cladding (wall coverings), corner guards (vertical protection), crash rails (horizontal trolley-height protection), and accessible handrails.
Wall cladding is calendered or extruded PVC sheet, surface-treated for hygienic cleaning and chemical resistance. Corner guards and crash rails are extruded PVC profiles with aluminium reinforcement.
