Coronavirus has reached the United Kingdom and cases in Scotland are increasing. With this risk, it is extremely important to do everything possible to reduce the spread of infection within and outside the workplace.
Clansman Interiors install hygienic wall cladding for sectors where hygiene is paramount therefore we are aware of the importance of workplace hygiene.
What is hygienic wall cladding?
Hygienic cladding is a wall covering made out of UV stabilised material which helps reduce the spread of bacteria and infection. With the current coronavirus outbreak, it is more important than ever to be keeping on top of hygiene. This is used in sectors where hygiene is of the utmost importance.
When should a PVC wall be used?
Health and safety is paramount in many industries and in some, hygienic wall cladding is mandatory. Wall cladding is advised in high risk areas including:
- Food prep areas
- Factories
- Catering facilities
- Kitchens
- Hospitals
- Clinics
- Surgeries
- Laboratories
- Pharmacies
To help control virus outbreaks, wall cladding installation would be beneficial in schools, leisure centres and gyms where individuals are mixing with others.
Benefits of hygienic wall cladding
Hygienic wall cladding reduces the spread of bacteria. As it is chemical and moisture resistant, PVC cladding does not attract mould therefore it is much easier to keep free from infections.
With its smooth surface, PVC wall cladding is easier to keep clean and hygienic in comparison to tiles and stainless steel walls. Bacteria can get in-between the corners and cracks of tiles and other wall materials causing it to multiply and spread quickly as it is much harder to clean thoroughly.
Many infections including coronavirus spread through the air from people coughing and sneezing but also through touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your face. Installing a work surface that is easy to clean is a sure way of increasing infection control.
PVC wall cladding can give your customers and staff the confidence that your premises is doing everything it can to put hygiene first and keep everyone safe.
