Choosing Wall Systems Compatible With Strict Hygienic Standards

Walls are one area that is often overlooked when trying to maintain the hygiene of a facility. This is unfortunate as walls can frequently act as a major source of bacteria and contamination, this can in turn affect the proper operations of a facility or industry where strict hygiene standards are required. In today’s blog we will be looking at how you can choose wall systems that are compatible with strict hygienic standards.

Installation

When choosing wall systems one of the first things you should look at is how these wall systems are installed. When strict hygiene standards are required, you will want to ensure that your wall systems are installed without seams or grout lines so there is no place for bacteria or other microorganisms to collect.

Durability

Durability is also an important component when choosing wall systems for hygienic environments. You will want wall systems that are impact and scratch resistant as scratches and damaged areas can create places where bacteria is able to collect. You should also choose systems that are easy to replace should significant damage occur.

Non-Porous

This is an extremely important feature when choosing hygienic wall systems. You will want to ensure that your wall systems are made of non-porous material as porous material is able to collect moisture and particles that can lead to mold, mildew or other microorganisms. With nonporous material moisture just slides off and most microorganisms cannot find a place to grow. These surfaces are also easy to clean, often requiring only mild chemicals and water to achieve hygienic results.
