Vac island covering to dress it up

[Ric]

Any ideas for a durable, colorful covering to put over a cement block vacuum island?

A couple years ago, we custom fabricated a stainless steel cover for a customer's vacuum pedestals. The existing concrete pedestal still provided the structure... the stainless steel cover was a cosmetic cover, and incorporated a heavy duty rubber bumper.

Doyle Vacuum, do you have any pictures?

The vacuum and pedestal on the left are the "old" set-up, and the vacuum and pedestal cover on the right are the "new" set-up. Again, the customer sent me the dimensions of his old pedestal, and we custom fabricated the stainless cover that dropped right over the top of his concrete base.

IMO stainless is the way to go. The extra $ up front pays for itself in being relatively maintenance free - forever.
