Aesthetics and Hygiene in Harmony
In large kitchens, canteens, and catering operations, uncompromising hygiene is essential. Wherever food is prepared daily, all surfaces must meet the highest hygiene standards – from floor to ceiling. With Hydewa’s specialized wall and ceiling systems, you create hygienic kitchen areas that are not only easy to clean but also long-term resistant to moisture, heat, and aggressive cleaning agents.
Whether in communal catering, gastronomy, or industrial food processing – our FRP systems help you reliably comply with hygiene requirements and ensure flawless kitchen processes.
For the most demanding areas such as kitchens, food storage, and cold rooms, we rely on our premium product Glasbord®.
Thanks to the special Surfaseal film seal, Glasbord® also meets the strict requirements of relevant guidelines (e.g. HACCP) for food hygiene.
Other unbeatable properties of Glasbord® include its low joint content (the otherwise critical joint content of tiles is reduced by up to 90%), easy cleaning, and simple installation. In terms of investment costs, the advantage lies in short installation work and thus reduced construction time, since Glasbord® can be applied directly onto tiles as sheet material.
Rethinking Hygiene: Our FRP Solutions for Catering Areas
Uncompromising Hygiene:
The smooth, non-porous surface of our FRP wall and ceiling claddings prevents dirt, grease, and bacteria from adhering. This is essential for kitchen hygiene and makes it easier to comply with strict HACCP guidelines.
Durability in Daily Kitchen Operations:
GRP surfaces are extremely resistant to moisture, heat, and aggressive cleaning and disinfecting agents. Unlike traditional tiles, they do not crack or corrode, ensuring long-lasting hygiene in catering environments.
Minimized Joints:
By using our large-format FRP panels, the number of joints is reduced by up to 90% compared to tiles. This eliminates the main breeding ground for germs and microorganisms and makes cleaning much easier.
High Impact Resistance:
GRP panels are highly robust and resistant to knocks and impacts that often occur in a busy kitchen. They are ideal for areas with heavy operational traffic.
Quick Installation:
Our FRP solutions can be installed directly over existing tiles or other substrates without requiring costly demolition. This saves time, minimizes downtime, and makes them an efficient solution for renovations.
Areas of Application for Maximum Hygiene in Large Kitchens
Our FRP systems are the ideal choice for all areas of professional gastronomy and communal catering:
Large kitchens and catering operations: Wall and ceiling claddings that must meet the highest hygiene standards.
Cooling and storage: Moisture-resistant panels are perfect for cold rooms and storage areas.
Dishwashing areas: Resistance to water, heat, and cleaning agents makes FRP the perfect solution for wet rooms and dishwashing areas.
Serving areas: Attractive and hygienic surfaces are also suitable for cladding buffets, counters, and serving stations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does kitchen hygiene actually mean?
Kitchen hygiene includes all measures for cleanliness and the prevention of germs when storing, preparing, and processing food. This includes easy-to-clean surfaces, regular disinfection, and separation of work areas.
