When it comes to protecting your professional space, it is essential to adopt the right hygienic solution to suit your specific needs.
To better understand which solution you should invest in, it is important to understand the differences between antimicrobial and antibacterial, along with the levels of protection they provide.
Fortunately, we’re here to tell you exactly how the two differ, and which one you should be using in order to maximise the hygienic qualities of your property.
Antibacterial is more commonly known than antimicrobial. Products and solutions that contain antibacterial properties are effective in killing bacteria and inhibiting the growth of common viruses including E.Coli and MRSA.
Although effective against a number of harmful bacteria, antibacterial solutions do not protect surfaces from further microorganisms and fungi found in common areas.
Antimicrobial differs from antibacterial in the sense that it provides an additional level of protection, working to kill and destroy the growth of microorganisms, fungi, or protozoans as well as bacteria.
An antimicrobial solution will work to provide integral protection against microbes as well as expanding the lifespan of your space or product. For more information on how antimicrobial technology works, read our ‘Antimicrobial explained’ document.
When it comes to hygienic cladding, whether it’s for walls, doors or flooring, investing in an antimicrobial solution will secure your space. By inhibiting the growth of various bacteria, viruses and fungi, you can rest assured that you are working in a safer environment than if you were to adopt an antibacterial solution.
