NEW HYGIENIC WALL LINING SYSTEM New to the SA market, Jemiclad is a certified hygienic wall and ceiling lining system, making it the go-to wall protection product in medical facilities, from operating rooms to ablutions, whether wainscot or full height. When building healthcare facilities, hygiene is a priority and the materials used need to be unfavourable to the spread of infection. There should be no opportunity for bacteria to grow. Jemiclad’s homogenous, smooth and non-porous wall and ceiling linings are ideal for environments with strict hygiene protocols. The lining solutions are airtight and watertight, which means they’re ideal for infection control. Moreover, they are bonded to the substrate, which eliminates the possibility of bacterial growth or pest infestation behind the panels. The linings can easily be cleaned with industrial cleaners and disinfectants. Jemiclad also boasts excellent chemical resistance, as well as good abrasion characteristics. It is UV-stabilised and 100% recyclable. No matter the architectural configuration of your hospital, Jemiclad can deliver. Their hospital wall panels can be moulded around internal and external corners, which means you do not have to use old-fashioned corner guards to fix them in place. To finish the joints, you can choose between a colour-matched, co-extruded trim and hot air-welded rod. Jemiclad is also an excellent choice for custom cutting, notching and shaving. It easily fits around pipes, electrical outlets and mechanical devices. You can choose to thermoform Jemiclad to inner and outer corners, right down to the size of a pencil radius. Doing so eliminates the need for silicone abutments. Jemiclad is available in an increasing number of finishes and colours, and can also be printed on.
