Conventional furniture versus Ryno in challenging Correctional facilities

In environments as demanding as correctional facilities, the choice of furniture isn’t just about aesthetics or comfort. It’s a critical decision that impacts safety, maintenance costs, and long-term usability. This comparison explores the advantages of Ryno products over conventional furniture and why they are an ideal fit for highly challenging environments like prisons and mental health units.

What are Ryno products?

Ryno products are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of challenging environments. Constructed with high-strength materials, they promise durability and safety. The innovative design prioritises functionality without compromising on comfort, making them suitable for use in correctional facilities where traditional furniture might fall short.

Durability and Longevity

Ryno products boast a strong and durable construction made from polyethylene with a one-piece design, ensuring no weak points that could lead to potential breakage. This leads to a longer lifespan, backed by a lifetime guarantee. With over 18,000 dining chairs manufactured annually with no reported breakages, Ryno products offer peace of mind and reduced replacement needs.

Traditional wooden and metal furniture can be susceptible to wear and tear, particularly in high-stress environments. Wooden furniture can break under pressure, while metal pieces may rust over time, leading to frequent replacements and higher costs.

Safety and Comfort

Safety is paramount in correctional facilities, and Ryno products excel in this regard with their single-piece construction with options for weighted and floor-fixed that deters weaponisation. Smoothly rounded corners and minimal concealment risks further reduce the danger to staff and inmates, enhancing overall safety.

In contrast, conventional furniture poses risks due to detachable parts that can be weaponised. Sharp corners also increase the likelihood of injury during interactions within confined spaces, making them less ideal for such environments.

Maintenance and Cost-Efficiency

Ryno’s easy-to-clean surfaces and water resistance make maintenance straightforward, significantly reducing long-term costs associated with upkeep and replacement. This efficiency is crucial in environments where maintaining hygiene and minimising disruption is vital.

Conventional furniture often demands regular maintenance to address issues like water damage or rust, leading to increased downtime and operational costs. Frequent replacements further add to the financial burden on facilities.

Customisability

Customisation is another strong suit of Ryno furniture, offering options to meet specific needs and requirements of facilities. Weighted options and bolted floor-fixed options deters attempts to damage or cause damage. This flexibility ensures that the furniture can adapt to the unique challenges of different environments benefiting facilities with less furniture replacements and repairs.

While many conventional options offer some degree of customisation, they often lack the specialised features necessary to maximise safety and durability in challenging settings.

Environmental Impact

Ryno uses eco-friendly and sustainable materials in production, aligning with environmental regulations and supporting sustainability initiatives. The OceanGreen range includes 50% of recycled content derived from fishing nets and equipment.

The production and disposal of conventional furniture can have significant environmental implications, often lacking the sustainable practices found in Ryno’s production process.

In the demanding contexts of correctional facilities, the choice between Ryno products and conventional furniture becomes clear. Ryno’s superior durability, safety, maintenance efficiency, customisability, and commitment to environmental sustainability make it the ideal choice for facility managers looking to enhance safety while reducing long-term costs.
