Colour Cladding FAQ's
SaniLife™ coloured hygienic wall cladding sheets combine the practical performance of commercial-grade PVC wall panels with enhanced interior design flexibility. Manufactured in durable 2.5mm thickness and available in 2.44m and 3.05m sheet lengths (with selected colours in 3.05m only), these coloured wall cladding sheets provide a wipe-clean, moisture-resistant and food-safe surface suitable for regulated environments. Unlike painted finishes, the colour runs consistently across the sheet, helping maintain appearance even after years of cleaning. Tested to EN 13501-1 fire standards, SaniLife™ sheets are ideal for commercial kitchens, healthcare settings, gyms, retail spaces and feature walls where compliance and visual impact must work together. This makes them a practical and design-led alternative to standard white hygienic wall panels.
The SaniLife™ coloured PVC wall cladding range is supplied in a robust 2.5mm thickness, offering enhanced rigidity compared to thinner sheets while remaining easy to cut and install. Most colours, including Jet Black, Battleship Grey, Tin Grey, Pastel Grey, Pastel Blue, Pastel Green and Cream, are available in both 2.44m x 1.22m and 3.05m x 1.22m sheet sizes. Selected colours such as New York Yellow may be supplied in 3.05m lengths only. The 2.5mm thickness provides improved wall coverage and helps mask minor surface imperfections, making it suitable for busy commercial interiors that require a strong, hygienic and professional finish with fewer joints and reduced maintenance concerns over time.
Yes, SaniLife™ coloured hygienic wall cladding sheets are fully suitable for commercial kitchens, food preparation areas, healthcare settings and other hygiene-critical environments. Manufactured from high-quality PVC, the smooth satin surface is non-porous, wipe-clean and easy to sanitise using standard cleaning products. The sheets are food-safe certified and tested to EN 13501-1 fire rating standards, supporting compliance in regulated commercial interiors. The 2.5mm thickness provides durability for daily wash-down routines, while colour consistency ensures a professional appearance is maintained. Whether installed in kitchens, laboratories, gyms or retail environments, SaniLife™ coloured PVC cladding delivers both hygienic performance and long-term visual reliability.
At 2.5mm thickness, SaniLife™ coloured PVC wall cladding sheets offer greater rigidity and strength than thinner 1.5mm or 2.0mm alternatives. This increased thickness helps the sheets sit flatter against substrates and better cover minor wall imperfections, reducing the likelihood of visible undulations. The added durability makes them well suited to commercial environments where walls are subject to frequent cleaning and general wear. While not impact-rated like specialist high-impact systems, the 2.5mm construction provides dependable everyday performance in kitchens, corridors, retail spaces and healthcare interiors. Combined with compatible trims and colour-matched silicone, SaniLife™ sheets create a secure, hygienic and long-lasting wall lining solution.
For a professional and hygienic finish, SaniLife™ coloured wall cladding sheets should be installed with compatible PVC trims and colour-matched silicone sealant. External angles, internal corners, H-section joining trims and J-section edging trims are available in matching or complementary colours to maintain design continuity. These trims are specifically designed to suit 2.5mm sheet thickness, ensuring a neat fit and consistent joint detailing. Using the correct profiles helps protect edges, maintain clean lines and support wash-down performance in regulated spaces. Combined with suitable PU adhesive and proper sealing, the full SaniLife™ cladding system provides a durable, compliant and visually cohesive coloured hygienic wall installation across commercial projects.
