The Benefits of Hygienic Wall Cladding
Hygienic wall cladding panels now feature in most new build and refurbishment projects. This inclusion is especially true where cleanliness plays an essential part in operations such as medical and of course, the food and drinks industry. Manufacturers need more from their wall cladding than ever, with the way things look now playing a critical role in factory and distribution centre design specs.
WHAT IS HYGIENIC WALL CLADDING?
Cladding is such a broad industry term. It refers to any material attached to the main building structure and acts like ‘skin’, for want of a better word.
Explicitly engineers for use within settings where cleanliness is vital, hygienic cladding is usually made from PVC and offers a chemical-resistant easy-wipe surface.
WHY USE HYGIENIC WALL CLADDING PANELS?
There are several reasons for installing hygienic wall panels within food and beverage production and distribution facilities, here are some of the more common ones:

As previously mentioned, hygiene is perhaps the most important reason. The wipe-clean aspects of this surface make it ideal for food prep and distribution areas. It is also a perfect surface for washroom and toilet facilities, making it versatile.
