Hygienic Wall Panel FAQ's
SaniBoard™ 10mm hygienic wall panels are engineered as heavy-duty, double-faced PVC wall cladding panels specifically for high-impact commercial environments where standard 1.5mm, 2.0mm or 3.0mm sheets may not provide sufficient rigidity. At 10mm thick and available in 2.50m x 1.25m and 3.00m x 1.25m panel sizes, SaniBoard™ offers significantly greater structural strength and long-term durability. The double-faced construction enhances stability and resistance to knocks, trolley impact and repeated cleaning. These hygienic wall panels are food-safe certified and tested to EN 13501-1 fire standards, making them suitable for commercial kitchens, food production areas, healthcare corridors and service zones where both hygiene compliance and physical resilience are essential.
SaniBoard™ 10mm hygienic wall panels are designed for demanding environments where high-impact resistance and hygiene compliance must work together. Common installations include commercial kitchens, food production facilities, hospital corridors, pharmaceutical areas, service corridors and industrial back-of-house spaces. Because these PVC wall cladding panels are 10mm thick and double-faced, they are particularly suited to areas exposed to heavy traffic, equipment movement or repeated wash-down procedures. Available in 2.50m and 3.00m lengths, they reduce joins while providing a solid, professional finish. SANIBOARD™ delivers a robust hygienic wall covering solution for projects across the UK that require superior durability compared to thinner sheet systems.
Yes, SaniBoard™ 10mm hygienic wall panels are manufactured to meet the performance expectations of regulated commercial environments. The panels are food-safe certified, supporting installation in food preparation areas and commercial kitchens. They are also tested to EN 13501-1 fire rating standards, providing reassurance for use in healthcare, education and industrial facilities. The smooth wipe-clean PVC surface supports effective cleaning regimes and reduces dirt retention. When installed with compatible trims and sealed using food-safe silicone, SaniBoard™ panels create a compliant hygienic wall system. This makes the 10mm double-faced wall cladding a reliable choice where inspection standards and long-term performance matter.
Installation of SaniBoard™ 10mm hygienic wall panels differs from thinner PVC sheets due to their increased thickness and weight. Panels are available in 2.50m x 1.25m and 3.00m x 1.25m sizes and should be acclimatised before fitting. Substrates must be clean, level and structurally sound. A high-grab PU adhesive is typically used to achieve full surface contact, and in some environments mechanical fixings may be required depending on substrate and impact risk. Cutting should be carried out with appropriate power tools and fine blades. Compatible SaniBoard™ trims must be used, as standard thin-sheet profiles are not suitable for 10mm panels, ensuring a secure and professional hygienic wall installation.
SaniBoard™ 10mm hygienic wall panels are ideal when maximum rigidity, impact resistance and long-term structural stability are required. While thinner 1.5mm, 2.0mm or 3.0mm PVC wall cladding sheets are suitable for many kitchens and washrooms, high-traffic corridors, loading areas and industrial spaces often benefit from the added strength of a 10mm double-faced panel. The thicker construction helps resist damage from equipment, trolleys and repeated contact. Available in 2.50m and 3.00m lengths, SaniBoard™ reduces flex and provides a more solid feel once installed. For projects where durability and heavy-duty performance are priorities, SaniBoard™ offers a superior hygienic wall panel solution.
