WALL PADDING FOAM TYPES
STANDARD FOAM: POLYURETHANE FOAM
is recommended for areas with less aggressive play or with safer distances
to any possible impact risk • Constructed of all virgin material, polyurethane was one of the first foam selections offered for wall
padding • With a density measuring 3 1/2 lbs., polyurethane is better suited for the light impact areas.
IMPACT FOAM: BONDED OR POLYETHYLENE FOAM
is recommended for areas with high aggressive play and close
to possible impact risk • Impact foams are comprised of two types of foam:
2” BONDED POLYURETHANE FOAM
or our
2 1/4” POLYTHYLENE FOAM
• Both foams are tested per ASTM F1292-09 testing methods and meet all the requirements of
the ASTM F2440-11, which is the industry standard for impact.
FIRE RATED FOAM: NEOPRENE FOAM
is a 5.0lb density foam produced utilizing low smoke polychloroprene latex
compound making it the only choice when your entire pad assembly (foam, board, and vinyl) are required to meet the strenuous
ASTM E84 Class “A” Fire code test • This foam selection creates a combination that meets even the most stringent of local fire
codes!
XX-FIRM NEOPRENE FOAM
is ideal for high impact and stringent fire code safety environments • Our XX-Firm 2”
Neoprene Foam passed the ASTM E84 fire rating standards as well as the ASTM F1292-0.
WALL PADDING ATTACHMENT METHODS
NAIL LIP STANDARD ATTACHMENT
is the perfect choice for permanently mounted padding • 1” nail lip at the top and
the bottom of the pad provided for placement of building approved fastners.
“J” CHANNEL MOUNTING SYSTEM
is ideal for those environments that require removal of padding on a very infrequent
basis • Our “J” Channel system also provides the pads with a clean, finished look by utilizing an extruded aluminum channel at
top and bottom of pad for attachment that is visible from the outside • Channels should be mounted to sound structure with
attachment methods approved for building conditions
“Z” CLIP MOUNTING SYSTEM
is the solution for a secure but removable attachment method • Our “Z” Clip is mounted in
two locations both to the wall and on the padding providing ease of removal and an attachment method that conceals all fasteners
from site.
ALUMINIUM CHANNEL WITH HOOK & LOOP FASTENER
is the attachment choice for easily removable padding •
This attachment method is concealed and allows for frequent removal of padding • System comes complete with three aluminum
extruded channels and Velcro® hook for attachment to wall and either sewn or glued (for retrofit) Velcro loop on padding which
creates a clean and secure attachment.
All
GARED® PADDING CHOICES
are available in custom configurations for corners, columns, I beams, and even stages to meet all of your padding
needs • Other options such as Vonar® interliner and or fire rated backer board available as well.
