New Year, new projects to transform your spaces!

Start the year fresh with hygienic, durable, and stylish interiors from Hycom.

The beginning of a new year is the perfect moment to rethink your spaces. If you manage spaces such as schools, healthcare facilities, gyms, food manufacturing sites and commercial kitchens, you’ll understand that the condition of your walls and floors has a direct impact on hygiene, safety, and overall efficiency.

At Hycom, we help organisations transform interiors quickly and effectively, combining long-lasting performance with modern design. In 2026, why don’t you let us help you make a fresh start with solutions that are as practical as they are stylish?

Why upgrade your spaces in 2026?

Outdated or worn interiors don’t just look bad. They can affect cleanliness, maintenance, and safety too. Here’s why now is the perfect time for a refresh:

• Hygiene matters: High-traffic and wet areas need surfaces that are easy to clean and maintain.
• Boost efficiency and morale: A fresh, modern space inspires staff, visitors, and clients.
• Improve mental wellbeing: Carefully chosen colours can affect the way people with different needs feel and behave. You can read more about that here: https://www.hycom.co.uk/industry-leaders/designing-with-colour-creating-hygienic-and-comfortable-environments.html 
• 2026 design trends: Demand for functional, durable surfaces with contemporary finishes is increasing in schools, gyms, hospitals, commercial kitchens and healthcare facilities.

With Hycom, you can meet these needs without compromising on style or practicality.

Hycom solutions for every space

Altro Hygienic Wall Cladding range
Market leader and our partner, Altro, offers a huge range of hygienic wall systems that are ideal for wet and high-use areas. Ranging from their flagship Whiterock White through to tile effect Tegulis, and soft muted Satins shades to the biophilic effects of Wall Designs, now you can create spaces that really perform on all levels of appearance and functionality. All systems are hygienic, smooth, easy to clean and offer the long-lasting protection and performance as you’d expect from Altro.

Trovex Diamond Panels
For high-traffic environments like schools, gyms, and care facilities, Trovex Diamond offers extraordinary strength and impact resistance. Tough yet stylish, it’s perfect for walls that need to withstand daily wear and tear.

Altro Vinyl Flooring
Paired with our wall solutions, Altro vinyl floors create a seamless, hygienic surface that’s easy to clean and maintain. Durable and slip-resistant, it’s the ideal choice for showers, kitchens, medical areas, and communal spaces.

Ceilings
A hygienic ceiling usually has less impact and bacteria concerns to contend with than walls, but there are parameters such as accessibility and access to lighting and electrics to be aware of. There are ceiling planks, wipeable grid ceilings and metal grid ceilings suitable for multiple industries and project types, depending on the requirements of the setting.

Recent transformations: start the year inspired

In 2025 we worked on many exciting projects where outdated and worn interiors were transformed into hygienic, modern spaces. One of the final jobs of the year was at a cricket club in Wales where we were asked to revamp the shower rooms. Below are some before and after photos to show the transformation. Our fitters installed Hycom Satins panels in a contemporary Pebble shade and Altro Aquarius flooring, creating a fresh, easy-to-clean environment.

This transformation will not only improve hygiene and maintenance but also enhance the look and feel of the spaces for the players who use them.
