Hygienic Wall Cladding for Healthcare Facilities
We partner with Takiron and AM-Clad to provide PVC wall cladding systems engineered for the performance standards healthcare settings need. AM-Clad panels carry an ASTM E84 Class A smoke and fire rating, while Takiron IVY-ONE holds FM 4882 approval, a harmonized standard that combines FM 4880 and ASTM E84, giving compliance teams a documented foundation for surface specification. Hygienic wall cladding for operating rooms helps maintain cleanable wall surfaces through repeated sporicidal cleaning, helping facilities control ongoing wall upkeep costs.
There are several options for sealing the gaps between panels.
1. Heat welding PVC rod into the seams provides the best method of sealing the gaps where contamination can take hold, supporting infection control efforts in healthcare environments.
2. On the AM-Clad wall cladding system there are plastic dividers that can be used which are less expensive and easier to install but do not provide the level of protection that heat welding provides.
3. The lowest cost and easiest option is to fill the gaps with a sealant that is designed for hygienic environments. SPS CleanTech offers Chemlink’s M1-CR or Durasil sealant.
The product line covers a wide range of clinical requirements. Standard hygienic panels offer smooth, nonporous, ASTM E84 Class A-rated surfaces that can withstand the rigorous disinfection protocols healthcare facilities follow, while antimicrobial options with silver ions dispersed throughout the panel material help resist bacteria, mold, fungi and viruses in operating rooms and other high-risk clinical areas. We also offer decorative panels for patient-centered design in suites and common areas and heavy-duty options to address the impact demands of high-traffic clinical environments.
Wall Cladding Applications in Healthcare
Hygienic wall cladding is ideal for different applications, including:
- Operating rooms: Hygienic wall cladding helps maintain cleanable wall surfaces through repeated sporicidal cleaning, equipment impact and daily clinical demands, helping reduce areas where contaminants can collect between procedures.
- Patient rooms and suites: With wall cladding, you can create environments that balance hygienic performance with patient comfort through decorative panel options with printed imagery.
- Exam rooms and clinical areas: Installing these panels helps your wall surfaces retain their integrity through repeated disinfectant exposure, minimizing the surface degradation that allows pathogens to accumulate between patient encounters.
- Hospital corridors and common areas: Fitting your facility with wainscoting panels that can withstand the constant impact of equipment and cart traffic helps extend surface life.
Your Partner in Sourcing Wall Cladding for Healthcare
SPS CleanTech is committed to helping you find a suitable hygienic wall cladding system for your facility. Our portfolio covers a broad range of hygienic wall cladding for hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Our team also implements a Proven Process that prioritizes understanding your needs and matching you with a fitting solution. We confirm product specifications against your facility’s compliance requirements and coordinate delivery to align with your installation schedule.
Facilities managers who currently source panels, sealants and accessories across multiple vendors can consolidate procurement through SPS CleanTech, reducing complexity and freeing up time for higher-priority work. For contractors, an accurate specification helps protect project budgets from the cost exposure associated with mid-project product changes.
