We’ve got answers to some of the most common queries around seclusion room padding and design, materials and maintenance.
If there’s something else you’d like to know, just get in touch.
Gold Medal Safety Padding is a rubberised urethane high-density system designed to withstand impact, resist tearing and prevent self-harm. It’s purpose-built for high-risk environments, not adapted from other materials like vinyl.
Unlike vinyl, our system can’t be peeled, torn or used as a weapon. Repairs are quick and simple, with no need for specialist trades. This reduces room downtime and keeps your facility operating safely.
Our padding is widely used in police holding cells, correctional facilities, mental health units, immigration centres, hospitals and any environment where a safe, controlled space is needed.
Yes. Gold Medal Safety Padding has been specified by name in many police, corrections and health procurement guidelines to ensure substandard materials aren’t used. It has undergone stringent fire testing and is certified as fire resistant and self-extinguishing in multiple countries. Full test results are available on request and have been used as a benchmark by other organisations worldwide.
The system is designed for long-term performance, even in the most challenging environments. Many rooms installed 30+ years ago are still in use today.
Yes. Small areas of damage can be repaired quickly by onsite maintenance teams, often within 24 hours. This keeps rooms operational and avoids costly downtime. In contrast, some other systems, particularly those using vinyl or resins, can take up to 90 days to cure after installation or repair, creating major disruption to facilities that rely on constant availability.
Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the room, but we’ll work with you to minimise disruption. Our experienced team or partners handle the full process.
This is the term we prefer over ‘padded cell’ or ‘seclusion room’ as it better reflects the purpose of the space, which is to provide safety for the occupant, staff and property during high-risk situations.
Yes. We work with architects, facility managers and government bodies to design and install tailored solutions that meet your exact needs.
