Over the years JBH Refurbishments have become specialists in the installation of hygienic cladding in hospitals, dental practices, commercial kitchens and laboratories across London and the South East making them one of only a few approved installers in these areas.
Healthcare and Dental Industries
Having established themselves as London office refurbishment experts, JBH Refurbishments have gone onto refine its services for the healthcare and the dental industry by ensuring staff have industry standard training in the installation of hygienic cladding.
All work is undertaken by qualified staff utilising approved and appropriate methods and finishing and working to the highest standards of workmanship to ensure each hygienic workplace they refurbish is hardwearing, easily cleaned, with an impeccable finish.
To create the most hygienic working area, we use floor to ceiling materials that are impervious and smooth. Hygienic cladding is one of our most popular products for hospitals – particularly in operating theatres, wards and public zones – cosmetic surgeons and dental practises.
Most importantly hygienic cladding must be installed correctly. Our qualified engineers use specialist equipment to fit hygienic cladding, which provides a seamless finish in the corners and on the joins, meaning there is minimal breeding ground for germs. If this material is not installed correctly, it poses the same issues as tiling, where gaps in the seams can attract dirt and mould, just like grout.
For optimum hygiene we can fit hygienic cladding to the walls and ceiling. It can also be combined with cap and cove flooring, which again, leaves little breeding ground for germs.
Your Hygienic Cladding Choices
You may think that hygienic cladding only comes in white and there are no other choices. That’s not the case.
Available in a range of colours, hygienic cladding easily fits with any interior style. Plain and coloured panels are available along with a mosaic and stripe range which are available to mix and match according to your colour scheme requirements. You can even get panels moulded to look and feel exactly like high quality ceramic tiling and they can also be digitally printed in a design of your choice.
JBH Refurbishments able to offer their clients two types of hygienic cladding. These are: Altro Whiterock and Be-plas.
