What is hygienic cladding?
Hygienic cladding refers to a sanitary PVC material that can be added to walls or ceilings designed to provide a clean, durable, and easy-to-maintain surface. The smooth, non-porous surface is resistant to chemicals, dirt and moisture reducing the risk of contamination. Hygienic cladding is commonly used in environments that require strict hygiene standards, such as hospitals, dentists, commercial kitchens, food processing plants, laboratories, and cleanrooms.
What adhesive should I use for PVC cladding?
When installing PVC cladding, it's essential to choose the right adhesive to ensure a secure and durable application. We have a wide range of hygienic cladding adhesives available on our website that are specifically designed to bond PVC materials effectively and provide a strong hold. The main adhesives used for installation are Premierbond 2 Part Adhesive and Premierbond HT Hybrid MS Polymer Adhesive.
How do I cut hygienic wall cladding?
Cutting hygienic wall cladding requires precision to ensure a clean and professional finish. Tools required include a measuring tape, marker or pencil, straight edge or ruler, utility knife or jigsaw, clamp and sandpaper.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to cut cladding effectively:
Measure and Mark
- Measure the area where the cladding will be installed.
- Mark the cutting lines on the hygienic cladding sheet using a marker or pencil. Use a straight edge to ensure the lines are straight.
Secure the Cladding
- Place the PVC cladding on a stable work surface.
- Use clamps to secure it in place to prevent it from moving during cutting.
Cutting
- Using a Utility Knife: Score along the marked line with a utility knife. Make several passes with increasing pressure until you can snap the cladding along the score line.
- Using a Jigsaw: If using a jigsaw, choose a fine-toothed blade to minimise chipping. Follow the marked line carefully, keeping the jigsaw steady and moving at a moderate speed.
Smooth the Edges
- After cutting, use sandpaper to smooth any rough edges. This will ensure a neat finish and prevent any sharp edges that could cause injury.
Check the Fit
- Place the cut piece in its intended location to ensure it fits properly. Make any necessary adjustments by trimming or sanding further.
For more detailed instructions please see our installation guide.
Can hygienic cladding be used outside?
No, hygienic cladding is not recommended for external use. While hygienic cladding is highly effective for wet indoor environments, it is not designed to withstand the challenges presented by outdoor conditions.
PVC cladding lacks sufficient UV resistance and prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the material to degrade, discolour, and lose its structural integrity. The outdoor environment can significantly shorten the lifespan of hygienic cladding as the material’s properties are optimised for indoor use, ensuring durability and hygiene in controlled environments but not in unpredictable external conditions such as wind, snow and frost.
For exterior applications, it is advisable to use materials specifically designed to handle outdoor conditions, such as weather-resistant panels, composite cladding, or materials with built-in UV protection.
Can PVC cladding be painted?
Yes, PVC cladding can be painted, but there are specific considerations and steps you must follow to ensure a successful and durable finish, such as cleaning and priming before paint is applied. Painting can be useful for matching interior design schemes or refreshing the appearance of the cladding, however painted PVC cladding may not be as durable as its original finish, especially in high-traffic or heavily cleaned areas.
Can PVC cladding go over tiles?
Yes, hygienic PVC cladding can be installed over existing tiles, provided that the tiles are securely fixed and the surface is properly prepared. This method is often used to save time and labour, as it eliminates the need for removing old tiles.
Is hygienic cladding cheaper than tiles?
Hygienic cladding is made from PVC which is significantly less expensive to buy than ceramic or porcelain tiles. The large sheet size of hygienic cladding means less individual pieces are required per project which also lowers the overall spend. Installation of hygienic cladding is much quicker and less labor-intensive compared to tiles and is much easier to clean, reducing installation and maintenance costs.
Can you drill into PVC cladding?
Yes, you can drill into PVC hygienic cladding making it a flexible option for various applications, but there are some considerations and best practices to ensure a clean job:
Choose the Right Drill Bit
Use a drill bit specifically designed for plastic or PVC. A standard twist drill bit can work, but a bit designed for plastics may provide cleaner holes.
Use a Pilot Hole
Start with a smaller pilot hole to guide the larger drill bit. This helps prevent the PVC from cracking or splitting.
Drill at a Low Speed
Drill at a slower speed to minimise heat buildup, which can cause the PVC to deform or melt.
Support the Cladding
Ensure the cladding is well-supported to prevent movement, which could lead to uneven drilling or damage.
Avoid Over-Tightening
When using screws or fixtures, be careful not to over-tighten them, as this can cause stress and potential cracking in the cladding.
Test on a Scrap Piece
If possible, test your drilling technique on a scrap piece of PVC cladding to adjust your approach if needed.
Clean the Area
After drilling, clean up any plastic shavings or debris from the area to ensure a neat finish and proper installation of any fittings.
Is PVC cladding waterproof?
Yes, PVC cladding is waterproof. This makes it an ideal material for environments that require moisture resistance and easy maintenance, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial spaces. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is inherently resistant to water, which prevents moisture from penetrating the surface and the smooth, non-porous surface ensures that water and moisture cannot seep through. To ensure a completely waterproof installation, it is important to properly seal the joints and edges of the cladding panels with silicone sealant and appropriate trim.
