Food and Beverage

Hygienic cladding and coatings installers for F&B facilities, including food preparation areas, production, and food and drinks service.

Hygiene is top priority in these facilities to always ensure food/drink safety. Surfaces need to be kept clean and wall/ceiling protection should be as hygienic as possible.  

Food and beverage environments are busy areas, with constant exposure to dirt, grease and moisture.  Keeping surfaces clean must be quick and efficient, withstanding regular and robust cleaning regimes.

Wall surfaces need to be easily maintainable and cleanable, not harbour bacteria and not be prone to allowing mould / bacteria to grow. They also need to comply with food safety regulations (for example food safe PVCu polymer materials and FDA approved hygienic coating systems) and, in public facing areas, be of attractive colours and customer friendly appearance.
