Key Criteria for Hygienic Cladding in Commercial Kitchens

One place where hygienic wall cladding is absolutely necessary is a commercial kitchen. Not only does this cladding need to be easy to clean, but it needs to be durable, mold resistant, and impact resistant. Why is this important in a commercial kitchen? Because the cleanliness of a commercial kitchen impacts food safety.

In today’s blog article we want to talk about hygienic wall-cladding options for a commercial kitchen. Solid-surface or vinyl or PVC wall cladding are great solutions for a commercial kitchen because they meet all of the criteria mentioned above.

Easy-to-Clean

The first necessary criteria is easy to clean because kitchens get dirty. Food boils over; dishes get broken; and food gets on the walls. An easy way to clean the walls is absolutely necessary, not just for your peace of mind but for your licensing.

Non-porous

The wall covering needs to be non-porous because you don’t want tomato sauce staining your drywall, or worse yet, getting in or under it. A non-porous surface literally acts like a wall, preventing food or bacteria from going any further.

Seamless

These types of hygienic wall covering have either no seams or invisible seams. This means that there is no place for them to decay or harbor microorganisms. Seamless is absolutely necessary in keeping kitchen walls clean.

We are convinced that hygienic wall coverings are the best solution for a commercial kitchen wall covering. These walls coverings can be PVC, vinyl, or solid-surface. What they have in common is the ability to keep a busy commercial kitchen space clean for a very long time.
