Why You Need Certified Technicians to Install Your Commercial Wall Protection System

Commercial wall protection systems have grown in popularity over the past decade and are now commonly implemented in hospitals, research labs, public buildings, and food processing facilities.
The reason for their growth is their quality, ease of maintenance, low upkeep costs, and long lifespan. However, these panels are significantly different than typical wall cladding, and professional installation is strongly recommended for the following reasons.
Accurate Installations
Wall protection systems vary in size, thickness, and installation technique, making it difficult to follow an online guide. Certified technicians possess years of training and a thorough understanding of different materials like ALTRO Whiterock hygienic panels and water-resistant vinyl coverings. This specialized knowledge prevents mistakes such as gaps or weak spots that can lead to damage over time.
Certified technicians also adhere to strict industry standards and ensure careful measurements and compliance with guidelines that less experienced workers might overlook.
Maximizing Durability
Installing hygienic wall cladding is not as simple as putting tile on top of adhesives. Before installation occurs, preparation tasks, such as cleaning surfaces, must be performed to ensure long-lasting durability.
In addition to preparation skills, certified installers tailor installations based on specific environmental requirements—whether it’s a sterile lab needing antimicrobial features or a busy kitchen requiring heat resistance.
Mitigating Hazards
Incorrectly installed wall protection systems can lead to structural damage or hygiene problems that could result in mould growth or bacterial spread in healthcare settings.
Certified technicians mitigate these risks by strictly following health codes and building regulations during installation. They also ensure tight seals to prevent water infiltration—a common issue causing long-term degradation if not properly managed.
As you can see, poor-quality installation can compromise your facility’s infrastructure integrity, potentially leading to costly repairs and negatively impacting business operations.
On the other hand, certified technicians bring essential skills and in-depth industry knowledge, ensuring quality work that maximizes durability while minimizing risks.
