FRP Wall Panels for Healthcare Applications
Resilient wall coverings and panels are what protects your facilities. Glasbord, made with fiberglass reinforced plastic and Surfaseal finishing, has a unique construction process that makes it impact resistant and non-porous. Protect your healthcare facility with wall panels that are mold and mildew-free, scratch-resistant, and tough enough to withstand regular maintenance, including caustic cleaning chemicals.
Why FRP Wall Panels Are Ideal for Healthcare Environments
Impact & Scratch Resistant
Engineered for high-traffic areas, FRP stands up to carts, stretchers, and daily wear—supporting a longer lifecycle vs. painted drywall or vinyl surfaces.
Unsurpassed Hygiene & Cleanability
With a smooth, non-porous surface, FRP helps limit soil buildup and makes routine disinfection faster and more effective—ideal for patient care areas, procedure rooms, and washrooms.
Chemical & Stain Resistant
FRP tolerates frequent cleaning, including strong disinfectants and caustic agents used in healthcare environmental services (EVS), without degrading surface integrity.
Moisture & Mold Resistant
Non-porous construction resists moisture ingress to help reduce conditions where mold and mildew can form—perfect for washrooms, utility rooms, and food service zones.
Easy to Install & Maintain
Lightweight sheets can be installed over many existing substrates to minimize disruption; once in place, routine cleaning keeps walls looking professional for years.
Optional Fire-Rated Panels
Available in Class A or Class C per ASTM E-84 to support code requirements in healthcare occupancies. (Confirm with your AHJ for project-specific needs.)
