Maintaining clean kitchen walls with hygienic wall cladding

While it may seem obvious that adopting a hygienic wall cladding solution will prove to be effective in maintaining clean kitchen walls throughout an entire facility, there are still many businesses that favour traditional tiling.

Hygienic wall cladding is suitable for working spaces in several professional environments and is particularly beneficial in kitchens and food preparation areas where cleanliness and safety are critical.

There are several benefits that an effective wall cladding solution poses for kitchen environments. We have listed some of them below:

How hygienic wall cladding benefits kitchens

Installing hygienic wall cladding in a kitchen will pose several benefits for the entire working space, and can be split into three main advantages when compared to traditional walls. These are:

  • Cost
  • Hygiene
  • Durability

Cost

Hygienic wall cladding eradicates the labour cost associated with laying individual tiles, resulting in a much quicker installation.

Hygiene

Maintaining hygiene is a critical element of any kitchen environment, meaning that businesses cannot afford to ignore it. We’ve previously discussed how hygienic wall cladding can reduce the risk of food poisoning, further highlighting how the best solutions must be adopted to provide employees with the safest environment in which to work.

Unlike tiles, hygienic wall cladding has no grouted areas that can easily harbour bacteria, meaning that they uphold protection for longer. The best solutions will also be resistant to a wide range of chemicals typically found in kitchens and the wider food production industry.

Furthermore, a hygienic cladding solution is typically easier to clean than traditional walls and tiles, as regular hot soapy water is sufficient for regular cleaning. For more information on how hygienic wall cladding upholds protection, please see our video below:

Durability

Hygienic wall cladding will typically provide longer-lasting protection compared to that of traditional methods, as the panels do not flake or corrode, unlike paint and steel.

The benefit of this for businesses looking to maintain their kitchen areas is that they will save money by not having to replace walls for the foreseeable future. At BioClad, our antimicrobial & hygienic wall cladding come with a 20-year warranty.
