Frequently Asked Questions

Is hygienic wall cladding required in commercial kitchens?
Commercial kitchens must have wall surfaces that are easy to clean, non-absorbent, and hygienic. While regulations may not mandate a specific product, hygienic wall cladding is widely accepted by environmental health officers as a compliant solution.
Why is hygienic wall cladding better than tiles or painted walls?
Unlike tiles or painted walls, hygienic cladding has minimal joints, no grout lines, and a seamless finish when correctly installed. This reduces dirt traps, improves cleanliness, and lowers long-term maintenance requirements.
