PVC wall cladding offers many benefits, when used as a hygienic cladding solution. PVC, or Poly Vinyl Chloride cladding, is one of two types of plastic cladding available through Bliby Plastics. We also offer polypropylene wall cladding, which offers enhanced benefits, with its improved strength at extreme temperatures, and its greater fire resistance than PVC.
PVC is already widely utilised as a building material due to its ease of installation, cost benefits and durability. Not only is it a widely used material, but it is one that is replacing other traditional materials such as wood, clay and concrete in many areas.
PVC cladding is easy to install, as panels can easily be cut to size quickly. Due to the lightness and flexibility of the material, it can be manufactured in large panels. This offers rapid coverage of large areas very quickly which, as a result, provides a low installation cost for your plastic wall cladding.
Water resistance and mould resistance are two characteristics which add to the versatility of plastic hygienic cladding, and make it extremely popular for kitchen and bathroom settings. When comparing pounds per square metres between plastic cladding and ceramic tiling, plastic is hard to beat. Once in situ, the lack of grouting and the reduction in corners and edges when using plastic, means there is much less opportunity for mould or bacteria to take hold, when compared to tiled surfaces. Once the cladding is in place, there is no need for finishing, which adds to the ease of installation.
