Which Wallcovering Is Most Durable for Hospitals, Schools and Hotels?

In heavily used buildings such as hospitals, schools and hotels, the most durable solution is glass textile painted with a suitable paint. Plain painted plaster and paper-backed wallpaper wear out quickly in these buildings.

Why does glass textile stand out?

According to the SYSTEXX catalogue, glass textile resists impact, abrasion and puncture; with a suitable paint system it is washable and withstands disinfectants and cleaning agents. Almost all products are fire class B-s1, d0, and the manufacturer recommends them particularly for clinics, schools and public buildings.

Choosing by area

• Hospital corridors and rooms: glass textile with disinfectable paint.
• School corridors and classrooms: glass textile with high abrasion resistance; the Xtreme range in the catalogue offers three times the abrasion resistance of standard glass textile.
• Hotel corridors: glass textile or fabric-effect vinyl.
• Hotel rooms: vinyl or textile wallpaper; ceramic tiles in wet areas.

An example from our own work

Erdağ Yapı carried out the framing, plastering, painting and finishing work at the Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic in Küçükçekmece. In buildings like this a wall has to stay cleanable for years, not just look good.

Can it be installed while the building is in use?

Yes. According to the manufacturer, the Reno range with Aqua technology is suitable for renovation during normal operation, even in busy areas such as hospital corridors. Request a survey for your project on our glass textile application page.
