Colour Antimicrobial Wall Cladding FAQ's
Saniclad BioMax™ antimicrobial colour wall cladding is specifically engineered for environments where hygiene performance is just as important as interior design. Manufactured from high-quality PVC and enhanced with an antimicrobial surface technology, these 2.0mm sheets help inhibit the growth of bacteria on the wall surface, supporting improved cleanliness in healthcare facilities, laboratories, food preparation areas and commercial kitchens. Available in 2.44m and 3.05m lengths across colours such as Pastel Blue, Pastel Green, Pastel Grey and Pastel Cream, Saniclad BioMax™ sheets combine wipe-clean practicality with coordinated colour styling. Each sheet is food-safe certified and tested to EN 13501-1 fire rating standards, delivering a compliant, durable and easy-maintenance hygienic wall cladding system for regulated UK commercial interiors.
The Saniclad BioMax™ colour antimicrobial wall cladding range is supplied in a practical 2.0mm thickness, offering a balance of rigidity, ease of installation and long-term durability. Sheets are available in 2.44m x 1.22m and 3.05m x 1.22m sizes, helping installers minimise horizontal joints and achieve a cleaner, more seamless finish. The 2.0mm profile provides improved stiffness compared to thinner sheets while remaining manageable on site. For projects requiring greater coverage height, the 3.05m length is ideal for commercial kitchens, healthcare treatment rooms and laboratory walls. All coloured Saniclad BioMax™ sheets are designed to integrate with compatible trims and jointing systems, ensuring a fully hygienic, professional wall lining solution that meets modern compliance and performance standards.
Coloured antimicrobial PVC wall cladding from the Saniclad BioMax™ range is commonly specified in healthcare settings, clinical rooms, dental practices, veterinary facilities, food production areas and commercial kitchens where bacterial control and wash-down durability are critical. The antimicrobial surface technology supports hygiene protocols by helping to reduce microbial growth on the sheet surface, while the wipe-clean satin finish allows for regular cleaning with standard non-abrasive products. In education and care environments, softer tones such as Pastel Blue or Pastel Green provide a welcoming aesthetic without compromising compliance. By combining colour coordination with hygienic performance, Saniclad BioMax™ antimicrobial wall cladding offers a practical solution for regulated commercial interiors that demand both visual appeal and dependable hygiene control.
While standard coloured PVC wall sheets provide a hygienic, wipe-clean surface, Saniclad BioMax™ antimicrobial wall cladding adds an additional layer of protection through integrated antimicrobial technology. This enhancement is designed to help inhibit bacterial growth on the surface of the sheet, making it particularly suited to hygiene-critical and clinical environments. Supplied in 2.0mm thickness and available in 2.44m and 3.05m lengths, Saniclad BioMax™ sheets maintain the same durable PVC core construction but offer increased reassurance where infection control is a priority. Combined with food-safe certification and EN 13501-1 fire testing, the Saniclad BioMax™ colour range delivers a higher-specification hygienic wall cladding solution for medical, laboratory and food-safe installations across the UK.
When installing Saniclad BioMax™ coloured antimicrobial wall cladding, it is important to prepare a clean, dry and level substrate such as plasterboard, plywood or securely bonded tiles to ensure full adhesive contact. Sheets should be acclimatised prior to fitting and cut using fine-toothed tools to maintain clean edges. A 2–3mm expansion gap should be allowed around perimeters to accommodate natural movement. Use a suitable high-grab PU adhesive for full coverage bonding and roll the sheet to remove air pockets. Compatible trims and jointing profiles should be selected to match the 2.0mm thickness, and all internal corners and joins sealed with food-safe silicone. Correct installation ensures the antimicrobial surface performs effectively and the finished wall remains hygienic, compliant and visually consistent.
