If you are thinking of putting up some tiling for a bathroom or kitchen, then you might want to think again and go for a different solution with hygienic wall cladding. This has long been used in areas such as healthcare buildings, schools and commercial kitchens in hotels and restaurants because there are no grout lines where bacteria can gather. The great news is that hygienic wall cladding is now available in a wide range of designs from white to bright colours to bespoke designs that can even contain images or logos.

At Young’s we don’t just deal with your flooring needs but act as installers for wall cladding brands such as Altro Whiterock and Trovex. We recently installed a tiled town scene as a backdrop for a local council office reception – proving that if your tiling has to be functional it certainly doesn’t have to be boring.

The Benefits of Hygienic Wall Cladding.

There are numerous benefits from having wall cladding installed instead of normal tiles and many commercial premises opt for it as their first choice:

  • It’s durable and longer lasting, more resistant to impacts than general tiles
  • You get a more hygienic covering of a wall because there are no grout lines that can collect bacteria and mould
  • They are easy to clean and maintain
  • They can handle high temperatures so they are perfect for areas such as kitchens
  • They can be used for a wide range of installations from wet rooms and rest rooms to clinical areas, laundries and have even been used in mortuaries.

With the latest printing technology available you now don’t have to settle for a standard colour or design when you opt for hygienic wall cladding. Bespoke designs can be created to cover whole walls which means you get a functional covering that actually looks exciting.

Companies like Trovex have their own gallery that you can choose from or you can opt to use your own design or image. This has led to a wider use of wall cladding over normal tiles in recent years with educational establishments, health centres as well as hotels and restaurants choosing it as the sensible option.

There have also been advances in the technology used to develop wall cladding in recent years, with antimicrobial solutions such as Activ:ion that further prevent bacterial growth and protect walls. This is essential where good hygiene is required such as in the kitchen or a clinic. Other places where it is invaluable are leisure centres where it outperforms other, more standard, wall coverings.

Companies such as Altro Whiterock also produce flooring and ceiling solutions that ensure places which need to be kept hygienically clean have everything they need to protect visitors. At Young’s we can assess your needs and make sure you get the right solution that meets your needs, professionally installed and with a backup support that is second-to-none.
