Hygienic wall panels are vital to the success of many businesses, and here at Octego, we have many years of experience installing them across Sussex and the South East.
You might wonder what they are and whether your business could benefit from them. So, in this blog, we will explain a little bit about what they are, how they work, and some of the benefits they can bring to your business.
What are Hygienic Wall Cladding Panels?
Hygienic wall panels are constructed from a UV-stabilised material, usually white PVC sheets. They help to effectively reduce bacteria and infections in workplaces where hygiene is vital, like food production facilities (commercial kitchens) and medical environments (hospitals). The cladding is impervious to moisture and bacteria, which makes it much easier to keep clean than most other wall materials. It is also much easier to install, as it doesn’t require grouting!
We often use a type of hygienic wall cladding sheet called PIR (Polyisocyanurate) when constructing our cold rooms, which provides the same hygienic benefits but also a high level of thermal insulation due to being a ‘sandwich panel’. These PIR sandwich panels control temperatures well due to the PIR foam they are constructed with, which means they work exceptionally well in cold rooms.
What are the benefits?
1 – Keep the cold in!
As mentioned above, PIR insulated panels are excellent at retaining temperatures within an environment, which makes them ideal for cold rooms like the ones we install across the South East.
PIR panels seamlessly fit in with the design. In addition, they are easy to clean, making it easy for you to ensure your cold storage room is kept in great condition without the risk of any bacteria or moisture becoming an issue.
2 – Cost-effective and customisable
Hygienic wall cladding is easy to install when done by professionals, like our fantastic team of contractors. As well as this, due to their construction, they are easy for us to shape and customise to your exact measurements.
This means a shorter installation time and reduced overall cost whilst ending up with a bespoke, long-lasting solution.
3 – Low Maintenance
We mentioned earlier that hygienic wall panels are easy to clean, which couldn’t be more true! Due to the way they are constructed and installed, there are no cracks or gaps, which is often the case with walls that require grouting.
This means that mould and bacteria cannot build up on the surface. Not only is this a great hygienic benefit, but it also means that the panels only require a cloth and surface cleaner to keep absolutely spotless, drastically reducing the amount of maintenance you have to carry out.
