Antibacterial and Easy-Clean Wall Selection

Surfaces for hygiene-sensitive rooms

Hygiene-sensitive rooms — treatment zones, production rooms and laboratories — need walls whose faces and joints stay cleanable under frequent cleaning. The surface described in the company profile for that use is the inorganic precoated panel: a calcium silicate substrate with an ultraviolet-cured fluorocarbon finish, described as antibacterial, mould-resistant and easy to clean, for laboratory and healthcare use.

Those three descriptions are the company profile's own wording for the panel's intended character. No antibacterial test figure, mould-resistance figure or cleaning-test figure is published on this page, because the company record does not give such figures for public listing. A surface described as easy to clean is not a substitute for a cleaning routine: the joint must also be tight and cleanable, and the maintenance guide covers the routine that keeps the wall in service.

Selecting for your rooms

List the hygiene-sensitive zones separately from general zones, and confirm the surface, joint and colour for each sensitive zone. Consider whether the zone needs a coated finish, a steel face, or a mix — coated finish for the most hygiene-sensitive faces, steel faces elsewhere — and confirm that mix room by room. Then send the shortlist for confirmation before ordering.

This page makes no performance claim and no compliance claim for any surface. If your project specification requires a measured figure or a particular document for a surface, raise it at enquiry stage for the exact panel and finish ordered, and ask for it to be confirmed before ordering.
