What is a 126 mm wall guard?
A wall guard—also called a crash rail or bumper rail—is a continuous protective profile mounted along corridors to stop carts, beds and wheelchairs from denting or scraping walls. In healthcare, education and service buildings, this dramatically reduces maintenance. Our 126 mm profile aligns with the industry’s common 5-inch (≈127 mm) crash-rail height.
Why Aluminum + PVC?
The proven construction is a rigid PVC cover over a continuous aluminum retainer. The aluminum backbone disperses impact; the PVC outer skin absorbs scuffs and can be replaced or color-matched. This structure is standard among top wall-protection brands, ensuring compatibility with professional installation practices.
Where is it used?
Typical high-traffic locations include hospitals and care facilities, schools/kindergartens, and hotels—anywhere trolleys or luggage hit walls. Leading manufacturers position wall guards and related wall-protection products for these exact sectors.
Hygiene matters: antibacterial PVC options
For healthcare interiors, PVC wall-protection products can be formulated with antibacterial/antimicrobial additives to inhibit microbial growth—an approach widely used in hygienic cladding and crash-rail systems. Our XY 126 provides antibacterial performance; antimicrobial PVC technologies like Palram’s HYG™ and AM-Guard are recognized solutions in similar applications.
