Schools face constant wear and tear—busy corridors, stairwells and breakout areas see hundreds of pupils, staff and equipment moving daily. This can lead to scuffed walls, damaged corners and escalating maintenance costs. Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School in Kingstanding turned to Yeoman Shield to protect their interiors and reduce ongoing repair expenses.
Head Teacher Robert Swanwick selected Yeoman Shield after reviewing product samples and exploring options for a long-term, cost-effective solution. Yeoman Shield’s directly employed installation specialists fitted FalmouthEx Wall Protection Panels at 1250 mm high throughout corridors, dining areas and staircases. Where needed, brickwork was professionally boarded-out to create a smooth, high-quality finish. Dusty Grey panels complemented existing artwork while providing durable, impact-resistant protection.
To enhance safety and durability, the project included corner protection, robust 110 mm White PVCu skirting with a solid timber core, and handrails. While the original 50 mm Dia. Guardian Handrail is no longer offered, Yeoman Shield now offers a new, improved version designed for enhanced durability and safety. Together, these elements create a complete interior protection system tailored for busy school environments.
All Yeoman Shield products are manufactured from rigid PVCu, making them easy to clean, resistant to commercial cleaners, and impervious to bacteria or mould—helping schools maintain hygiene and appearance with minimal effort. By eliminating constant repainting and repairs, schools can redirect budgets towards teaching and learning.
In addition to wall, door, corner and skirting protection, Yeoman Shield provides Fire Door Services, including installation, inspection, maintenance and management and fire door protection ensuring compliance with safety regulations while protecting building interiors.
Mr Swanwick praised the results: “The quality is exceptional. Six months on, there’s no sign of wear, and the installation teams were professional, efficient and understood the realities of working in a school. I am a very happy customer.”
Yeoman Shield delivers complete interior protection and Fire Door solutions, backed by a nationwide installation service trusted by schools across the UK.
