Column Pad
QUED Column Pads are designed for daily institutional use and collision protection. Each pad is precision‑tailored to the specific column, including allowances for angles, protruding bases, anchor bolts, outlets, light switches, alarm panels, or conduits. The fitted design maintains a clean look and reduces interference with activity areas.
Challenge
Protect athletes from hard column impacts while keeping the profile sleek, easy to install, and simple to remove for storage or cleaning.
Solution
A custom‑tailored, freestanding pad with full‑height closure—either hook‑and‑loop fastener flap or lace‑up—provides 360° coverage around square columns with minimal obstruction. Options include multiple thicknesses, full colour range, graphics, and security tabs.
Product Sheet Product Specs
The Pad
Pads can be configured to cushion 2, 3, or 4 sides of a square column, providing complete 90° corner protection. The closure runs the full height of the pad for fast on/off service. Choose a hook‑and‑loop fastener flap for rapid changeovers or a lace‑up flap for a secure, traditional finish. Lightweight construction supports convenient removal and storage when needed.
The Construction
A durable, fire‑resistant, polyester‑reinforced vinyl cover (~0.61 kg/m² / 18 oz/yd²) is wrapped over an absorbent polyurethane foam core rated at 60 ILD, available in nominal thicknesses of 50 / 76 / 102 mm (2 / 3 / 4 in).
The Operation
Position the pad around the column, align the vertical closure, and secure using the full‑length hook‑and‑loop fastener flap or the lace‑up system. Removal follows the reverse sequence. Routine care consists of surface cleaning of the vinyl cover with standard liquid cleaners.
