ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide brings together the questions people face when choosing sheets and planning a hygienic wall cladding project. It is designed to help you understand the options before reviewing specific products.
Start with the room and work towards the product.
WHY IT EXISTS
A product page can tell you a sheet’s size and specification. It cannot know the condition of your wall, where your joints will fall or how the room will be used. Those are the decisions this guide helps you think through.
The pages cover sheet selection, PVC thickness, project planning and common applications. They are written as practical starting points, with links between related topics so you can follow the questions relevant to your project.
OUR CONNECTION TO SANICLAD
The guide is connected with Saniclad, a UK supplier and installer of hygienic wall and ceiling systems. It links to Saniclad where readers can check current products, specifications and installation information. It is not an independent comparison of all suppliers.
Guide content is intended to explain planning considerations. Product ranges, availability and technical information can change, so the current details on Saniclad’s website should be checked before ordering or specifying a system.
HOW TO USE THE SITE
Think about the room, substrate, sheet size and the finished wall.
↗ 02 / COMPAREConsider the differences between 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm and 3 mm PVC sheets.
↗ 03 / MAP IT OUTMeasure the wall and account for joins, corners, edges and components.
↗ 04 / ADD CONTEXTReview how use and maintenance priorities differ between working spaces.
↗A NOTE ON SPECIFICATION
A general guide cannot confirm that a particular sheet, adhesive or finishing detail meets the requirements of every project. Always review current product documentation, installation instructions and any site-specific requirements.
If a room has specialist hygiene, fire or performance requirements, establish those requirements before selecting materials. Ask Saniclad for the documents relevant to the exact product you are considering.
