Altro Tegulis Hygienic Wall Cladding Installation for a Major Government Organisation

Background

Goss Environmental Coatings was once again selected by one of our long-standing clients, a major Government Organisation, to deliver a specialist hygienic wall cladding solution across four of their staff buildings.

With an ongoing professional relationship built on trust, consistency, and attention to detail, we were commissioned to upgrade the staff bathroom facilities with a durable, easy-to-clean hygienic wall cladding system that balanced practicality with a smart, modern finish.

This was part of our long-term partnership with the client, reflecting their confidence in our capabilities and our commitment to delivering reliable, hygienic solutions for high-traffic environments.

The project required a product that could withstand regular cleaning, resist moisture, and maintain a professional appearance while subtly enhancing the interior environment for staff. Working in live, operational Government buildings also meant careful planning and coordination to ensure minimal disruption to day-to-day activities.

Scope of Work

The client’s brief was clear: refurbish the staff bathroom areas in four buildings using a product that was more hygienic, easier to maintain, and visually superior to traditional tiles. The solution needed to be quick to install, low maintenance, and highly durable, all essential qualities for high-use staff facilities.

After evaluating a number of options, the Altro Tegulis hygienic wall cladding system was selected as the ideal choice. This cutting-edge hygienic wall cladding solution offers the realistic appearance of traditional ceramic tiles, with the added benefits of a smooth, solid panel that is easier to clean and resistant to the growth of bacteria and mould. These characteristics make Tegulis hygienic wall cladding especially suitable for demanding environments like public sector washrooms.

The project involved the complete re-cladding of bathroom walls installing Altro Tegulis hygienic wall panels, requiring precise installation techniques and expert product knowledge. While thermoforming was not required, due to manufacturer guidance to preserve the realistic tile effect, the project still called for meticulous detailing around internal and external corners, window reveals, and service penetrations.

The Solution

Our expert installation team carefully managed the fitting of the Altro Tegulis hygienic wall cladding to ensure a flawless, tile-effect finish with superior hygiene performance. The panels, which feature a de-bossed grout line for visual authenticity, were installed using a tongue-and-groove system to create a seamless appearance.

This installation method, combined with the use of clear hygienic silicone rather than visible grouting, resulted in a durable, watertight solution that eliminates the risk of staining, discolouration, and bacterial ingress associated with real tile grout.

The tactile realism of the Tegulis hygienic wall cladding was enhanced by the precision with which our installers measured and aligned the panels, ensuring consistent pattern flow and a professional look throughout the bathrooms. Each wall surface upgrade was carefully executed, with close attention paid to transitions, corners and terminations, key areas for achieving a truly polished result.

By choosing Altro Tegulis hygienic wall cladding, the client not only improved the visual appeal of their facilities but also ensured long-term hygiene performance and ease of maintenance. This modern alternative to tiling provides a cost-effective, time-saving solution that is perfect for public sector washrooms and any high-traffic environment where cleanliness and appearance are paramount.

The Result

This installation of the Altro Tegulis hygienic wall cladding system successfully transformed the staff bathrooms into clean, professional, and highly hygienic environments. The client now benefits from a surface that supports stringent cleaning regimes while projecting a contemporary, high-quality finish in line with organisational standards.

By combining our technical knowledge of hygienic wall cladding systems with hands-on installation expertise, we delivered a result that exceeded expectations. The bathrooms now reflect the professional environment of the Government Organisation and will serve staff reliably for years to come.
