Castell Allen High School protects extension with Yeoman Shield
C
astell High School in Flintshire supplies co-education to 1300+ students promoting strong levels of
well-being. The original school building was established in 1958 and as the student intake grew extensions were built in 1974 and 1992 to accommodate.
2021 saw the latest extension, Y Celtec building, completed. Problems soon became apparent with the walls within the new area being clean and damage free. The school’s Site supervisor, Paul Muncey explained: “Keeping the white painted walls clean was becoming a nightmare for our cleaning team and within 12 months of the building coming into use the walls along the corridors required repainting.”
Business Manager Emma Manning had come across Yeoman Shield wall protection solutions in a previous position and got in touch with regards to protecting the new building’s wall before the impact damage became too great.
Yeoman Shield directly employed fixing operatives installed Mid-Grey FalmouthEx, 2,500 x 1,250 mm wall protection panels along the corridor walls.
The panels once in place not only protect from damage but are easy to clean down and will prove over the years to reduce repair and maintenance costs. They also look good sustaining a bright, clean, and welcoming
