The benefits of rotomolded furnishings over steel have led to a paradigm shift in the planning and design sectors of the corrections industry. For decades, steel was the dominant material used to furnish jails and prisons, but the advent of molded polymers has brought significant, positive change to the industry. Modern technology provides us with the capability to engineer molded furnishings to be stronger than steel, making them the prime choice for redesigning the correctional environment.
Colors can be customized to facilitate normative, rehabilitative environments rather than the grim, monochromatic settings of the past. The potential for manufacturing rotomolded furnishings is endless, and Cortech USA currently offers correctional specific tables, beds, chairs, property storage, and more. Below are a few advantages of rotomolded furnishings.
1. Custom Colors
Research shows that colors have the ability to enormously impact humans psychologically, emotionally, and even physiologically. Rotational molding allows furnishings to be manufactured in colors such as Cortech USA’s Aqua, Midnight Blue, Indigo, and Stone Gray, which correlate to feelings of peace, strength, and clarity.
2. Durability
Because correctional furniture often endures continuous use by occupants, durability is of utmost importance. Our rotomolded furniture is constructed of high impact, “no break” polyethylene, resulting in highly durable products that can withstand even the most extreme conditions. Between the intensive durability tests our products undergo and the 10-Year Factory Warranty we offer on most items, you can rest assured that Cortech furnishings will last for many years to come.
3. Easy To Clean, Sanitize, and Maintain
No one wants to spend hours cleaning a table or a chair. Another advantage of rotomolded furniture is that each item is exceptionally easy to clean, sanitize, and maintain. With no seams or joints to get in your way, the smooth surfaces of rotomolded products can simply be wiped down with a standard sanitizing solution. No additional steps are necessary!
