Stylish Hygiene: Choosing Cladding Colours for Aesthetic Impact

When it comes to hygienic wall cladding, many people picture bright white walls with a clinical, sterile feel. While this traditional option remains a practical and professional choice, modern hygienic cladding has moved far beyond a one-shade solution. Thanks to Saniclad’s wide range of coloured hygienic wall cladding sheets, businesses can now combine essential hygiene standards with stylish finishes that reflect their brand identity and interior design vision.

From sleek neutrals that project professionalism to bold, vibrant hues that create energy and personality, Saniclad proves that hygiene and style can go hand in hand.

Why Colour Matters in Hygienic Environments

Colour isn’t just about decoration – it plays a powerful role in shaping how people experience a space. In healthcare, calming shades help reduce anxiety for patients. In retail or leisure settings, branded colour palettes create familiarity and trust. In kitchens and food preparation areas, lighter tones suggest freshness and cleanliness, while feature colours can energise busy teams.

By choosing the right cladding colours, businesses can send a clear message: we care about hygiene, but also about the experience of everyone who walks through our doors.

Antimicrobial Colours: Hygiene First, Style Second to None

For environments where sanitation is critical, Saniclad’s BIOMAX™ antimicrobial range offers unbeatable protection. These 2 mm thick sheets incorporate silver-ion technology that actively reduces bacteria and viruses on contact. Laboratory tests show BIOMAX™ reduces E. coli by 99.99% and Staphylococcus aureus by 99.98%, as well as achieving significant reductions in SARS-CoV-2 within 24 hours.

What sets BIOMAX™ apart is that it delivers this protection without sacrificing design. Available in a range of colours, it allows hospitals, laboratories, food processors, and clinics to create modern, welcoming spaces while maintaining the highest hygiene standards. With a 20-year defect warranty, these antimicrobial sheets are a smart, long-lasting investment.

Standard Colours: Bringing Personality to Your Walls

Beyond the BIOMAX™ range, Saniclad offers a wide selection of coloured cladding sheets. Popular choices include Cream, Blue, Grey, and Green – each offering its own mood and aesthetic impact:

Cream creates a warm, professional atmosphere.
Blue conveys trust, calm, and reliability.
Grey is modern, neutral, and versatile.
Green suggests freshness, balance, and nature.

These colours are particularly effective in commercial kitchens, schools, leisure centres, and office environments, where design contributes to both branding and staff morale. And because every sheet is smooth, wipe-clean, and non-porous, they not only look appealing but also ensure the highest standards of hygiene are maintained.

A Finish That Works Hard Behind the Scenes

Saniclad cladding is designed to perform under pressure. Every sheet is easy to clean, resistant to moisture and staining, and Class 1 fire-rated. This means your choice of colour doesn’t compromise on compliance, durability, or safety. Instead, it gives you the freedom to design a space that is both practical and visually distinctive.

Creating a Branded Environment

One of the biggest advantages of coloured hygienic cladding is the ability to extend your brand identity throughout your physical space. Whether it’s a coffee shop chain using warm shades that echo its logo, or a gym choosing bright, energetic colours that inspire movement, cladding can reinforce the personality of a business as effectively as signage or uniforms.

By integrating colour into your walls, you can transform cladding from a purely functional solution into a design statement that customers remember.

Hygiene Meets Style

Modern hygienic cladding is about more than function – it’s about creating spaces that are clean, safe, and visually appealing. With Saniclad’s extensive colour range, you no longer have to choose between compliance and creativity. From the advanced antimicrobial protection of BIOMAX™ to the versatile palette of standard shades, Saniclad ensures your walls reflect both your brand identity and your commitment to hygiene.

In short, stylish hygiene is no longer a contradiction – it’s the new standard.
