How to install hygienic wall cladding around pipes

Installing hygienic wall cladding on a flat wall is relatively straightforward, but pipework can have a significant impact on the finished project and needs careful attention.

Most food production facilities, commercial kitchens, healthcare environments and factories have exposed pipework running through walls.

Poorly executed cuts can:

• Leave unsightly gaps

• Create areas where dirt and bacteria can accumulate

• Affect wash-down procedures

• Reduce the professional appearance of the installation

Why Accuracy Matters

Hygienic wall cladding is designed to create a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.

Every penetration through the wall system needs to be carefully considered to ensure hygiene standards are maintained.

A precise fit around pipes:

• Looks better

• Reduces maintenance issues

• Supports cleaning regimes

• Helps facilities meet industry requirements
