The Wrong Stuff...
...The Right Stuff
Typical Network Access Module (NAM)
Cables attach perpendicularly:
Cable ends get smashed.
The Right Network Access Module (NAM)
Cable ends connect diagonally, protected by shield.
Typical Wood Bench
Not eco-friendly:
Wood splinters, checks, and crowns. It is easily carved into and not weather resistant.
The Right Bench
Plastic lumber is made from recycled material, does not check, crown or splinter, and resists harsh weather conditions.
Typical Door-Stop
Cannot stand up to excessive closing force:
Hinges get tweaked and doorknobs go through the wall.
The Right Door-Stop
Mounted behind doorknob onto wood backer. Protects against wall damage.
Typical Evacuation Sign
Lends itself to abuse:
Square corners are easily pulled from wall, and open slip edge allows diagram to be removed.
The Right Evacuation Sign
Rounded corners and silicon-filled slip edge make this evacuation sign tamperproof.
Typical Thermostat Location
Improper positioning;
Gives flawed reading of ambient temperature.
The Right Thermostat Location
Proper positioning allows for correct temperature reading.
Typical Towel Bar Mount
Non-durable design and mounting:
Posts tear out of wall, and bar bends because it is hollow.
The Right Towel Bar Mount
Mounting precludes posts from detaching from wall. Hollow bar filled to avoid bending.
