Why Does a Washable Wall Covering Matter in Restaurants?

Because a restaurant wall meets cooking vapour, food splashes and hands every day, and a surface that cannot be wiped soon looks dirty. Guests read cleanliness first from the wall and the table.

Three things a washable covering gives you

• Impression of hygiene: a spotless wall suggests that the kitchen is clean too.
• Low upkeep: the wall is wiped rather than repainted, so it lasts longer between refurbishments.
• Uninterrupted trading: cleaning is done after closing and the dining room is not shut.

Which coverings are washable?

• Vinyl-surfaced wallpaper with two or three waves on the label
• Washable paint over glass textile
• Decorative paint with a protective final coat
• Tiles, glass and laminate panels

Which surfaces are not suitable for a restaurant?

Real textile and paper-faced wallpapers, unprotected lime-based finishes and matt ceiling paint absorb stains at table height. They can be used on upper parts that hands do not reach.

Correct cleaning

A soft cloth and neutral detergent are enough. Degreasers and abrasive products thin the protective layer; try a new product first in a corner that is out of sight.

Does the whole wall need to be washable?

The part up to table and chair height is enough; a more decorative surface can be used above. In café and restaurant renovations, Erdağ Yapı recommends materials on this basis.
