Where hygiene demands are at their highest, stainless steel delivers. We supply and fit commercial-grade stainless steel wall panels and sheet cladding for commercial kitchen environments — from splashback areas and cooking lines to full wall coverage in food production facilities. Hard-wearing, non-porous and easy to wipe down, stainless steel wall cladding is the standard in professional kitchens for a reason.

We install Altro Stronghold 30, Altro ContraX and heavy-duty commercial vinyl systems that meet the flooring requirements for commercial kitchens. Whether you're running a restaurant kitchen, a catering operation or a food production facility — we'll specify the right floor for your environment and install it with minimal disruption.

Food Production & Processing. Industrial-grade hygienic flooring, wall cladding and stainless steel panels for food production environments where HACCP compliance is non-negotiable.
Commercial kitchens operate under constant pressure, and hygiene is not optional — it is a legal requirement. From restaurants to schools and care facilities, every surface must support cleanliness, safety and long-term durability. One of the most common issues we see is inappropriate materials: painted walls, standard tiles with grout lines and untreated floors that quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria and grease. Left unaddressed, these lead to hygiene risks and failed Environmental Health inspections.

Yes. The material:
While not always legally mandatory, hygienic wall cladding is widely used in commercial kitchens to meet hygiene expectations and pass Environmental Health inspections. It significantly reduces the risk of bacteria build-up in food preparation areas.
The best commercial kitchen flooring is slip-resistant, non-porous and designed for heavy use. We typically install systems such as Altro safety flooring and commercial vinyl solutions that meet food safety and hygiene requirements.
Hygienic wall cladding plays a critical role in commercial kitchens, where cleanliness, compliance and durability are non-negotiable. Unlike traditional tiles or painted surfaces, modern wall cladding systems are seamless, non-porous and designed for intensive daily cleaning. Alongside properly specified commercial kitchen flooring and stainless steel surfaces, they form the foundation of a hygiene system that meets Environmental Health standards. From restaurant kitchens to food production facilities, every surface must resist moisture, grease, heat and heavy use while remaining easy to maintain and fully compliant. Choosing the right materials is essential — not every kitchen requires the same solution, and using the wrong system can lead to hygiene risks, premature wear and costly rework.
