🏗️ Build Better Wednesdays | Season 2, Week 14: Builder’s Tip 🏗️
BUILDER’S TIP: The bottom few feet of your building often take the most abuse!
When planning a new building, it’s easy to focus on the roof, doors, and overall appearance. But the lower portion of your walls deserves just as much attention.
Here’s why:
✅ Everyday impacts add up
Lawn equipment, machinery, tools, and vehicles can accidentally damage lower wall panels over time.
✅ Moisture and debris matter
Rain splash back, mud, dirt, and other debris can create additional wear near ground level.
✅ Consider protective options
Wainscoting, protective barriers, and other design features can help protect areas that experience frequent contact or exposure.
✅ Think about your building’s surroundings
A building surrounded by gravel, pavement, or agricultural activity may experience different types of wear than one surrounded by grass.
A little extra thought about the areas that take the most abuse can help keep your building looking and performing its best for years to come!
