Yeoman Shield 200/125/75mm Protection Rail

Extruded PVCu crash rail on a timber or aluminium core, available in 200mm, 125mm or 75mm widths, standard 3.5m length, 30mm standard projection (88mm stand-off option available), for corridor and circulation-route impact protection against trolleys, wheelchairs and beds.

Why care homes use this

Care home corridors carry constant trolley, wheelchair, bed and hoist traffic, and unprotected walls take repeated impact damage that is expensive to redecorate and can look uncared-for to visiting families and CQC inspectors. A crash rail at the correct height intercepts that impact before it reaches the wall surface, and Yeoman Shield is a well-established UK healthcare-interiors brand whose protection rail range is specifically engineered and coloured for this use, rather than a generic timber dado rail repurposed for the job.

Key specification

Extruded PVCu rail on pre-formed timber or aluminium core, widths 200mm/125mm/75mm, standard length 3.5m, standard projection 30mm (88mm stand-off bracket option for heavier impact areas), stippled finish, wide colour range (On-Trend and Premier palettes), fire rated to B,s2,d0 (BS EN 13823) and Class 1Y (BS 476 Part 7), fixed with double-sided adhesive tape or screw-fixed with oversized holes to allow for thermal movement.
