Hygieclad PET-g wall cladding is a PVC-free and fully recyclable wall cladding solution developed for healthcare and hygiene-sensitive environments.
Manufactured in Ireland through the partnership between Brett Martin and Material Solutions, Hygieclad gives architects and specifiers another material option for projects where hygiene, durability, practical performance and sustainability all matter.
This product overview covers its main features, technical specifications, applications and the support available for project teams.
What Is Hygieclad PET-g Wall Cladding?
Hygieclad is a flat, solid wall cladding sheet made from PET-g.
It provides an alternative to traditional PVC wall cladding for projects where PVC-free material selection and end-of-life recyclability form part of the brief.
The material is 100% PVC-free and 100% recyclable.
At the same time, Hygieclad provides the practical features needed for demanding healthcare and commercial environments. These include durability, a smooth and easy-to-clean surface, fire performance and easy fabrication.
This combination makes Hygieclad particularly relevant when project teams want to consider sustainability alongside the functional requirements of the interior.

Key Features of Hygieclad
100% PVC-Free
Hygieclad gives architects and specifiers a PVC-free material option for healthcare and hygiene-sensitive environments.
This can be particularly relevant for projects where material composition forms part of the sustainability strategy.
100% Recyclable
Hygieclad PET-g is fully recyclable.
This allows project teams to consider end-of-life recyclability as part of the wider material selection process.
Durable Wall Protection
Healthcare and commercial environments can place significant demands on interior walls, particularly in busy and high-traffic areas.
Hygieclad is tough, durable and impact-resistant, providing practical wall protection for demanding interior environments.
Smooth and Easy to Clean
Healthcare and hygiene-sensitive environments need surfaces that teams can maintain easily.
Hygieclad provides a smooth, easy-to-clean surface suitable for spaces where cleanliness and regular maintenance are important.
B-s2,d0 Fire Classification
Fire performance is an important consideration when specifying wall cladding for healthcare and commercial interiors.
Hygieclad has been independently tested and classified B-s2,d0 in accordance with EN 13501-1:2018, providing documented fire performance for project evaluation.
Architects and specifiers should review the relevant fire classification report and application conditions when assessing the product for a specific project.
Lightweight and Easy to Fabricate
Hygieclad sheets are lightweight and easy to handle.
Installers can cut and fabricate the material using standard tools. This makes the product practical for contractors working with different layouts and project requirements.
Where Can Hygieclad PET-g Wall Cladding Be Used?
Hygieclad PET-g wall cladding has been developed for healthcare and hygiene-sensitive applications.
Potential environments include:
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Clinics
- Laboratories
- Cleanrooms
- Care homes
- Industrial kitchens
- Commercial hygiene areas
These applications share similar requirements. They need wall finishes that combine durability with surfaces that teams can clean and maintain easily.
However, every project has its own technical requirements. Architects and contractors should review the product documentation for the intended application before specification.
Why Consider PET-g for a Healthcare Project?
Healthcare wall cladding needs to meet practical requirements first.
Hygiene, durability, maintenance, fire performance and installation all matter when selecting a wall finish.
However, project teams may now have additional sustainability objectives.
Hygieclad allows architects to consider a PVC-free and recyclable material while still addressing the practical requirements of healthcare interiors.
It therefore expands the range of options available to project teams rather than simply replacing established wall cladding systems.
For projects where PVC-free specification or recyclability carries greater importance, PET-g can provide a particularly relevant alternative.
Manufactured in Ireland, Supported Locally
Hygieclad is manufactured in Ireland through the partnership between Brett Martin and Material Solutions.
The partnership combines Brett Martin’s manufacturing expertise with Material Solutions’ local distribution and project support.
For architects, contractors and specifiers, this also means access to a local team when evaluating the product for a project.
Material Solutions can support project teams with product information, technical documentation, samples and specification guidance.
Choosing the Right Hygieclad Option
The right product configuration will depend on the project.
Architects and specifiers can consider factors such as the application, required finish, sheet dimensions and technical requirements when evaluating Hygieclad.
White and Beige are available as standard colour options, while gloss is the standard finish. An embossed finish is also available on request.
For projects at an early specification stage, reviewing a physical sample alongside the technical information can help teams assess the material and finish.
Is Hygieclad Right for Your Project?
Hygieclad may be worth considering if your project requires:
- A wall cladding solution for a healthcare or hygiene-sensitive environment
- A PVC-free material option
- Full material recyclability
- A durable and easy-to-clean wall finish
- Fire performance for demanding environments – B-s2,d0 fire classification to EN 13501-1:2018
- Lightweight sheets that are easy to fabricate
- Local product and specification support
The final decision should always reflect the requirements of the individual project.
