This past week I had the honor to attend the Parking Industry Expo in Chicago. It was a great conference, where I met some amazing people and learned about all the latest developments in the parking industry. The conference gave me the opportunity to do one of my favorite things, which is to talk “parking” all week!

Technology advancements in the parking industry was a constant theme. Many of these technologies are meant to make parking garages easier and safer to use. Parking Padding Solutions fits right into this theme, by making parking garages safer and easier to use. Our products are ideal for any area of a parking facility that can be struck by automobiles. The added protection can help protect vehicles from minor damage due to close contact with columns or walls. And for ease of use, any product can be made to include signage!

We are back at it at PPS, but not without all the great memories made at PIE 2019! Until next year, my friends! ​#pieshow2019

Are you budgeting for 2018? Looking to update the look and safety of your parking areas? Give us a ring! We can help with a long-range plan for your garage, whether it is putting up padding in one problem area or outfitting an entire garage with a custom solution.  

Adding padded protection to parking areas can help protect vehicles from minor damage due to close contact with the cement columns. This reduction of damage can then reduce the cost of any claims that may be brought to the parking facility. And lets not forget that it looks good, too! 

Hope to talk to you soon!

Do you know the reasons to use parking padding in your facility? Well, one important one is to reduce damage claims! Additionally, you can help protect equipment, structures and people in your structures. Finally, you can save money on maintenance!

Here are a few more benefits of using parking padding below:

1. Safety & Protection: Foam padding provides safety and protection for people, vehicles, equipment and structures.
2. Perfect Fit: Padding is made to your size specifications for a perfect fit.
3. Customizable: Choose from a variety of colors, lettering, logos, and branding opportunities.
4. Attractive: Makes your facility more attractive and welcoming.
5. Easy to Install & Maintain: Padding slides over or wraps around posts with the ends tightly sealed with 2″ wide Velcro sewn onto the length of the cover. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
6. Save Money: You can save money by reducing maintenance and damage claims.
7. Made in the USA!

I’m often asked if Parking Padding Solutions padded products can be used in places other than parking garages. The answer is YES!!! Our pads can be customized to be used anywhere you need protection! 

I have 2 examples where Parking Padding Solutions stepped in and helped in creating a safe environment for children. 
The first project was for Crunch Fitness in Mt. Prospect, IL. The kids area has a small cement post right in the middle of the room. Cement posts and children do not go well together!  The owners decided to wrap the column with a thick blue pad – which matched their facility colors. Looks great and protects the little ones!  

​The second project was for Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, FL. Their special needs playground has 3 exposed posts with metal bases. Covering up these obstructions was important for the safety of the students. We came up with a custom, 2-piece solution to cover the problem areas and protect the kids from accidental contact with the base of the posts. They ordered their padding in blue to match the school colors. Go Panthers!

Bottom line, at Parking Padding Solutions we focus on creating a safe, padded environment in facilities. That can include nontraditional facilities, as well as parking areas. Our expertise lies in guiding you in selecting the right products for your project, no matter what the project! Don’t hesitate to contact us at info@garagepadding.com or 888-723-6268.
