Is Hygienic Wall Cladding an effective alternative to tiled hotel bathrooms walls?
Hygienic wall cladding for hotel bathroom refurbishments can be both costly and time consuming, especially when the works include refurbishing all en suite bathrooms. Hotel bathrooms have traditionally been tiled rooms which, naturally, require more labour-intensive cleaning on a daily basis, so must be hardwearing.
Over time, it is often the case that traditional grouting used for the tiled surface can become unsightly. Walls often become discoloured or damaged, in turn, creating an ideal home for germs to lurk.
Hygienic Wall Cladding – The alternative to tiles for Hotel Bathrooms
Thankfully, most hotels will refurbish their bathrooms when the surface finish and tiles do not meet their exacting room quality standards for those all-important star’ ratings. We have found that some hotel chains are now turning to hygienic wall cladding for their en suite refurbishments instead of replacing their finish with traditional tiling.
Installing hygienic wall cladding substantially reduces the typical wear and tear problems occurring in the future.
Additionally, hygienic wall cladding offers a quick, effective and efficient way to create a sleek, stylish yet hardwearing finish to en suite bathrooms. With a range of colours and cladding options available, the colour themes of the hotel brands can be maintained.
Our clients can choose to have all the original tiling removed and walls prepared, or alternatively, they can opt for hygienic cladding to be installed directly over the top of the existing tiles. This is a much quicker and more cost-effective way to refurbish bathrooms, as it saves time on the cost to remove the tiles and prepare the surfaces. Either method results in achieving a hardwearing, hygienic and stylish finish.
