Happy New Year! As we close out a year unlike any other, I feel all the excitement of the new year ahead! I am optimistic that we can all safely move ahead and start rebuilding together in 2021. 

One thing I am excited about here at Parking Padding Solutions is knowing that we are helping our customers make their parking areas safer and more attractive. However, it doesn’t stop here. Did you know that we can also help you INCREASE YOUR BUSINESS & REDUCE YOUR LIABILITIES? It’s TRUE!! Having a parking area/garage with safety padding makes your space more desirable to park in, drawing in customers. The added safety will reduce your liabilities because there will be less accidents. 

Whether it’s a small corner that needs to be covered or an entire garage overhaul, Parking Padding Solutions can help. And not only will your parking garage look great, but it will be profitable for you.

May you stay safe, healthy and optimistic in the New Year!​

Are you budgeting for 2021? 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!

​We've definitely seen the impact of the COVID19 pandemic in the Parking Industry on our end at Parking Padding Solutions (PPS). As we wait for things to improve and as we slowly open back up, I am encouraged to see that some operators and owners are using this slow time to make safety improvements and smart investments in their garages/parking lots. 

At PPS, we have been able to help several customers add padding to their spaces, thereby creating safer environments in their facilities. The goal of the padding in these cases is to help protect vehicles from minor damage due to close contact with the cement support columns. Additionally, the reduction of damage can then reduce the cost of any claims that may be brought to the parking facility. 
​
In one example, PPS partnered with a California university to create a padding solution for a parking garage. The garage had 18 exposed cement structural support beams that were in close proximity to several parking spaces. The customer chose to wrap the cement bases with Custom Column Padding. They chose a bright yellow vinyl with silver reflective stripes to increase visibility and went with the standard ½” inner thickness padding for protection. They easily installed the pads by wrapping them around the cement and connecting with the 2” strip of Velcro. The new pads have added a dimension of safety to anyone who parks in the garage, and the garage looks great!

​Even during the shut downs due to COVID19, several companies continue to make improvements to their garage spaces. These changing environments are providing a good time for parking owners and operators to invest in the assets they hold and create safer parking environments. I can only see that as a positive outcome of this pandemic.  

To our valued customers and friends,

Parking Padding Solutions maintains that safety and protection is always our #1 concern. These values extend to our customers and friends, especially during these times of uncertainty surrounding COVID19.

We are open during this crisis and are doing all we can to maintain our operations safely. All those that can are working remotely from home. To serve our customers, we can conference with you through email, phone, or a Zoom meeting.

We are well equipped to handle your orders and requests for protective padding. Most products are available and we are shipping. The only thing that might be affected is the turn-round time on orders. We are working diligently with all our partners to ensure we can provide you with the safety and protection products you need. Please contact us for more information or specific details about your project and order.

Thank you for your business and support during this extraordinary time. Stay safe and be well!

Sincerely,

Sophie Gryfakis, Owner

‘Tis the holiday season, we are all rushing around to get things done. However, when exiting a parking facility, we all have to slow down to let the gate arm go up and let us out! This is the perfect opportunity for advertising messages on the gate arms...  because EVERY vehicle that is in your parking facility will see the message!

Parking Padding Solutions has a way you can add non-permanent advertising messages to your existing gate arms. How, you ask? With Gate Arm Padding Plus+! This is a custom-made pad for your gate arms with a clear vinyl sleeve, or pocket, that is sewn into the front of the pad. The sleeve fits a 3” X 36” removable sign. Signs can be made by PPS or any print shop that is convenient to you.  

Imagine being able to change out messages to your customers that create brand awareness of the parking facility, promote special events in the area, or even rent out the space to other businesses for extra revenue! Messages on gate arms are seen by a captive audience that will surely be influenced by your well-placed ad.

Inevitably, every parking garage will have an odd structure that needs to be protected from vehicles or pedestrians. The best time to add protective padding to these structures is BEFORE they get struck 😊. Being hesitant to start a project like this is completely understandable;  Where do you start? How do you measure? Who can help? Ugh!
​
That’s where Parking Padding Solutions can step in! We make the process as easy as possible. A client in Sherman Oaks, CA had this exact situation in their parking garage. They had a custom solution designed, built, and installed in a matter of weeks!

​DESIGN
We worked together to come up with a design. In this case, the client provided measurements directly on a picture (good job!) to communicate clear requirements. Parking Padding Solutions sent back a mock-up design of what could be built. 

AFTER
The end result was a custom-fit pad, in the color and thickness requested by the client, that was easily installed in the parking garage. ​Being proactive never looked so good!
