This webinar will explore decorative and functional products and coverings that help protect a space from the many expected, and sometimes unexpected, ways occupants and visitors inflict damage on the interior of a building. Building entrances are constantly beset by everything from simple foot falls to delivery dollies and hand trucks, as well as the regular intrusion of natural elements like water, dirt and other foreign objects tracked in from the outside world. Walls and corners likewise face a near constant assault, especially in health care settings or schools, where equipment and devices are wheeled from one location to another. Without proper protection, doors and wall surfaces will require excessive maintenance, painting, and ultimately early replacement, creating a space that does not perform to the durable, or aesthetic expectations of the owner, or architect. This webinar will provide best practice examples of how to gird a building from the abuse of the general masses through careful specification of products and materials, while keeping the design aesthetic a priority.

At the end of the presentations, we will have time for a Q&A session with the presenters to discuss key points from the webinar.

The DOE design team had just four months to create the working lounge on the open ground level of the Forrestal Building headquarters. The goal of the working lounge was to provide employees and visitors with mental escape from the traditional office environment.
