Bathroom panels are an ideal choice when you wish to create hygienic and highly-functional restrooms in a commercial establishment. They present a great way to maximise space utilization and impart a stylish look and feel to the restrooms. Made from high pressure compact laminates, bathroom panels offer a wide array of choices in terms of color, design, and texture to render the desired ambience. When looking for high quality panels, reputable brands such as Greenlam Sturdo offer tried and tested solutions that comply with international quality and safety standards. Here are four major certifications to look for when buying bathroom panels.

1. Antibacterial Certification

Antibacterial certification is awarded for bathroom panels that pass the ‘Antibacterial Efficacy Test’. The bathroom environment has excessive humidity which can lead to the growth of mildew and other microbial organisms. That is why bathroom panels that are capable of resisting any growth of microbial activities come highly recommended. Antibacterial and antiviral panels are treated with special chemicals such as polyhexamethylene biguanide which kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses, keeping your bathroom surfaces safe and hygienic. Greenlam Sturdo offers bathroom partitions that have been proven to be also effective against coronaviruses.

2. Fire Propagation Certification

Bathroom panels receive the Fire Propagation Certification after successfully completing the fire resistance tests conducted as per the British Standard 476: Part 6: 1989 “Methods of test for Fire Propagation for Products”. The test is conducted to assess the behavior of a product in specific heat conditions. It helps in testing the material’s resistance to extreme temperature and fire.

3. Greenguard Certification

Greenguard certification is intended to enforce strict chemical emission norms and regulate the emission of Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs such as formaldehyde. If you want to have healthy indoor air quality in your commercial bathroom, choose bathroom panels that have the Greenguard Certification.

4. Chemical Resistance Certification

Chemical resistance is important for bathroom panels to ensure that they are not stained or damaged by any cleaning agents that you may use. The chemical resistance certification is awarded after conducting a thorough chemical spot test on the bathroom panels.
