Maintaining a hygienic environment is essential in healthcare settings, and this is especially true in veterinary practices where both animals and humans share the same spaces. From consultation rooms to kennel areas and reception spaces, veterinary facilities must meet strict cleanliness standards while also ensuring durability in busy, high-traffic environments.
Recognising these needs, Riverside Vets in Bromborough partnered with Saniclad during the development of their new site. The project involved installing specialist hygienic wall cladding systems designed to support infection control, improve cleanliness, and provide long-lasting wall protection throughout the facility.
Different areas of the practice required different solutions, demonstrating the versatility of hygienic wall cladding systems. Biomax was installed in the consultation and kennel areas, while Sanishield wall protection was used within the reception area.
Hygienic Cladding Installation at Riverside Vets Bromborough
Veterinary clinics present unique hygiene challenges. Consultation rooms and treatment areas require surfaces that can be cleaned quickly and effectively, while kennel areas must remain dry and hygienic to prevent the spread of bacteria, mould, or disease.
Traditional wall surfaces such as painted plaster or tiles can deteriorate over time or allow moisture to penetrate. Hygienic wall cladding provides a sealed, non-porous surface that helps maintain strict hygiene standards while offering improved durability.
For veterinary practices, this type of wall protection ensures that surfaces remain easy to clean and resistant to bacteria, helping staff maintain a safe and controlled environment.
Biomax: Advanced Hygiene for Consultation and Kennel Areas
For the consultation rooms and kennel areas at Riverside Vets, Biomax hygienic wall cladding was selected due to its advanced antimicrobial properties.
Biomax incorporates Silver Ion technology, which actively works to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and pathogens. Independent testing has shown that Biomax can reduce SARS-CoV-2 by 61.98% after four hours and 87.98% after 24 hours, highlighting its effectiveness in environments where infection control is critical.
In addition to its antimicrobial performance, Biomax offers several practical benefits for veterinary settings:
- Smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean
- Resistance to moisture, mould, and mildew
- Sealed wall protection to prevent bacteria build-up
- Durable construction suitable for busy environments
These features make Biomax particularly well suited for kennel areas where maintaining a dry and hygienic environment is essential for animal health and wellbeing.
Sanishield: Durable Wall Protection for Reception Areas
While consultation and treatment areas require enhanced antimicrobial protection, reception areas have slightly different demands. As the main entry point for visitors, the reception area at Riverside Vets needed a wall protection system capable of withstanding heavy daily use.
To meet these requirements, Sanishield wall cladding was installed in the reception area. Sanishield provides strong resistance to bacteria, chemicals, and fire, making it ideal for high-traffic commercial spaces.
Reception areas in veterinary practices must balance durability with presentation. The wall surfaces must remain clean and professional while also withstanding contact from people, pets, equipment, and general activity throughout the day.
Sanishield helps achieve this by providing a tough, easy-to-maintain surface that protects walls while maintaining a welcoming environment for visitors.
Professional Installation with Minimal Disruption
The installation at Riverside Vets was carried out by Saniclad’s experienced installation team. With extensive experience across healthcare, veterinary, hospitality, and commercial sectors, the team ensured the project was completed efficiently and to a high standard.
Work was carefully coordinated alongside other trades involved in the site development to minimise disruption and ensure the project progressed smoothly. This collaborative approach helped deliver a professional finish while maintaining the timeline of the overall build.
Saniclad’s installation team has completed over 5,000 projects, building a strong reputation for reliable service, high-quality workmanship, and long-term performance.
Long-Term Durability and Performance
Both Biomax and Sanishield wall cladding systems are designed to deliver long-lasting results. Their durable PVC construction provides reliable wall protection in environments where hygiene, safety, and durability are essential.
The materials are also supported by a 15-year product warranty, demonstrating confidence in their long-term performance and quality.
For veterinary facilities like Riverside Vets, these solutions provide peace of mind that wall surfaces will remain hygienic, durable, and easy to maintain for years to come.
Supporting Clean and Safe Veterinary Facilities
The installation at Riverside Vets in Bromborough highlights how modern hygienic wall cladding solutions can support the needs of healthcare and veterinary environments. By combining advanced antimicrobial technology with durable wall protection, materials like Biomax and Sanishield help maintain clean, safe, and professional spaces.
As veterinary clinics continue to prioritise hygiene and infection control, hygienic wall cladding remains an effective solution for ensuring both animals and staff are protected within a well-maintained environment.
