Why Commercial Facilities Should Upgrade to Antimicrobial Push & Pull Bar Covers

When you run a commercial facility—whether it’s a school, gym, hospital, retail store, or multi-tenant office—you know how many hands touch your doors every day. High-traffic doors, especially those equipped with push or pull bars, pose a hygiene and maintenance challenge. That’s exactly why upgrading to antimicrobial push & pull bar covers from ProTecBar makes so much sense. They’re simple to install, visually clean up the look of worn hardware, and deliver built-in antimicrobial protection.

Enhanced Hygiene Where It Matters

Every day, hundreds—often thousands—of people pass through commercial entryways, leaving behind bacteria, dirt, and wear on door hardware. ProTecBar covers are manufactured with antimicrobial agents built into the plastic, helping to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Because the protection is integrated within the material rather than applied externally, it remains active throughout the life of the cover. This means fewer worries about high-touch areas becoming hotspots for bacteria. By choosing ProTecBar covers, facilities take a proactive approach to hygiene and reduce contamination risks on one of the most frequently touched surfaces in the building.

Instant Aesthetic and Functional Upgrade

In many commercial facilities, door hardware looks weathered—scratched metal push bars, faded finishes, and visible wear. ProTecBar covers are designed to restore a clean, polished appearance while providing an additional layer of protection. Each cover matches the existing metal finish in pliable, durable plastic, instantly hiding scratches and abrasions. The installation process requires no special tools; the covers simply snap into place. The result is an immediate facelift with minimal effort, giving your facility a modern and well-maintained appearance.

Built for Durability in Commercial Environments

Commercial spaces demand durability, and ProTecBar’s antimicrobial push & pull bar covers are built to last. Constructed from a single-injection molded plastic, they are resistant to impact, abrasion, and temperature changes. The antimicrobial technology is integrated into the product design itself, ensuring long-lasting performance. For facility managers who value both durability and aesthetics, this makes ProTecBar covers a smart investment that withstands daily use while maintaining a professional appearance.

Cost-Effective Alternative to Full Hardware Replacement

Replacing entire exit devices or push bars can be costly, often running into thousands of dollars per door. ProTecBar covers offer a budget-friendly alternative that achieves the same visual and functional upgrade at a fraction of the cost. Facility managers and building owners have found that these covers effectively eliminate unsightly wear without the expense or downtime of complete hardware replacement. The combination of antimicrobial protection, enhanced aesthetics, and affordability provides exceptional value for any commercial property.

Reinforce Your Facility’s Commitment to Wellness

In today’s environment, cleanliness and wellness are top priorities for employees, tenants, and visitors alike. Upgrading to antimicrobial push & pull bar covers demonstrates a visible commitment to health and hygiene. Clean, modern door hardware not only improves the perception of your facility but also supports your organization’s broader safety goals. This small but impactful improvement can strengthen trust, improve satisfaction, and enhance your brand’s reputation as a health-conscious, forward-thinking facility.

Easy Implementation with Minimal Disruption

Switching to ProTecBar antimicrobial covers is simple and quick. Because the covers snap directly over existing bars, installation can be done during off-hours or regular maintenance schedules without disrupting daily operations. They are available in multiple sizes and configurations to fit various push and pull bar designs commonly found in commercial buildings. Even facilities with large door counts can complete installation efficiently and cost-effectively.

Designed for High-Traffic Commercial Use

From schools and hospitals to offices, gyms, and retail environments, ProTecBar covers are specifically designed for high-traffic applications. These areas require hardware that performs consistently under heavy use while maintaining a professional appearance. Each cover complements the look of existing metal bars, preserving design continuity while adding an advanced level of hygiene protection. For facilities where aesthetics and safety are equally important, this upgrade delivers the perfect balance.
