How Durable Are Air Conditioning Guards?

Air conditioning guards are made to protect air conditioning units from damage and corrosion to ultimately increase their longevity and durability.

Keeping this in mind, a guard must be strong and robust to offer the protection that air conditioning units require.

Read on to discover durable features to look out for when you’re searching for an air conditioning guard solution…

Offering Protection

In public settings, damage and vandalism can be more likely to happen along with general wear and tear.

When this happens, air conditioning guards can become weaker more quickly and lose the protection it presents for the unit underneath.

With units being one of the most expensive objects in a setting, you want to be in a position to avoid the likelihood of damages and vandalism that might commence.

To offer essential protection, look for air conditioning guards that are made to be robust with strong material and opportunities to add strengthening properties if your specific needs require it.

 

Anti-Ligature Features

When individuals seek to self-harm, they don’t just look for obvious ligature points. Where there is gaps or weak points in an air conditioning unit, it can be vandalised.

Once destroyed, individuals can then use the broken furniture as a weapon to hurt themselves or to others.

When designing anti-ligature guards, manufacturers acknowledge that furniture can be more vulnerable to damage, this urges them to create products that are secure and solid than standard air conditioning guards.

With the strength anti-ligature guards offer, the guard becomes more durable and protective to an air conditioning unit.

 

Bespoke Air Conditioning Guard

Air conditioning guards that can be made to be bespoke cater to a variety of unique design alternatives.

This ensures that each and every customer receives the best possible guard for their needs.

 

Air Conditioning Guard Warranty

It’s important to look for an air conditioning guard company that provides a warranty. So, you have peace of mind that your guard is protected against.
