Are Wall Panels Safe For food?

Hygiene is imperative in food preparation areas and as such they require wall coverings which aid hygiene and protect food.

Types of food safe wall panels

PVC wall panels, such as those from National Plastics, are the most hygienic choice of wall panel for food preparation areas. The benefits of these panels - which will be explored in more depth later in this blog – such as being 100% waterproof and easy to maintain, make them the perfect choice for settings such as commercial kitchens.

Importance of having wall panels which are food safe

Food hygiene is imperative in both private and commercial kitchens. Surfaces in food preparation and cooking areas can become dirty, which in turn can breed bacteria if not cleaned effectively. As such, installing wall panels which are food safe is key to creating a hygienic environment.

Benefits of Food Safe Wall Panels

Impact Resistant

PVC wall panels are extremely durable. As such they can withstand knocks and bumps, which makes them perfect for use in frequently used areas such as kitchens.

Maintenance and Cleaning

PVC wall panels are simple to clean and maintain. They require only a wipe with a clean damp cloth to keep them spotless and looking like new. PVC wall panels are also durable and need very little maintenance to keep them in top condition and good working order.

Hygiene

As PVC wall panels are 100% waterproof, easy to clean, and require no grout during the installation process, they are extremely hygienic. The lack of grout helps to reduce the risk of mould developing, whilst also making the panels easier to clean than traditional ceramic tiles.
