AM-Guard® | Antimicrobial Textured Wall Cladding

AM360

AM-Guard® is a high-impact PVC wall protection system designed for environments where durability, wall protection, antimicrobial performance and long-term performance are essential.

The panels provide a scratch-resistant, non-porous surface that protects walls from impacts, abrasion, and daily wear while remaining easy to clean and maintain. Manufactured from durable PVC, AM-Guard helps extend the life of interior walls and reduce ongoing maintenance compared with traditional wall finishes.

AM-Guard is widely used in hospitals, schools, playrooms, kitchens, corridors, service areas, and commercial facilities, where walls are exposed to frequent contact from equipment, trolleys, furniture, and general traffic.

Preparing the surface

AM-Guard should be fitted to a plumb surface that is clean, dry, smooth and free from dust, grease and flaking paint. It can be fitted over existing tiles, fair-faced brickwork, blockwork, plaster walls and boarded-out stud partitions. The sheets fix directly to the dry substrate using high quality AM360 approved adhesives. See the Installation Guide for full details.

Fire Ratings

AM-Clad has been tested to the following fire standards:

• AS/NZS 3837 – Group 1
• EN 13501 – B-s3,d0
• BS 476 Parts 6 & 7 – Class 0
• ASTM E84 – Class A

Additional Information

Cutting and Drilling

Sheets can be cut to size using a fine-toothed, circular or jigsaw and specialist hand tools. Use slow machine speeds to prevent overheating.

Corners

Sheets can be expertly thermoformed on-site ensuring a professional finish and minimising edge joints around corners, windows and doors.

Method of Fixing

Systems and sheets should be bonded to the wall with AM360 approved adhesives.

Floor Junction

Specialist PVC profiles create a neat interface between AM-Clad sheets and floor detail, or a vinyl overlay, as required.

Joints

Sheets are fixed using matching PVC ‘H-Divider’ joints and end trims, flush hot welded joints, or matching foodsafe silicone sealant. Always leave an expansion gap of 3mm to 4mm at all joints or fixings – see current Datasheet and Fixing Detail PDFs for guidance.

Chemical Resistance

High resistance to mineral acids, alkalis, plating solutions, paper making chemicals, pickling solutions, inorganic solutions and fumes. See individual Data sheets for more details.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning using a soft cloth and a suitably diluted mild detergent is all that is normally required. Do not use abrasive pads or wire wool. Do not clean above 60°C.

Limitations

AM-Clad sheets should not be used in rooms where the temperature exceeds 60°C or near a naked flame.

Warranty

AM-Clad systems are guaranteed for 30 years. Full Warranty details are available on request.

Storage

Sheets should not be used in rooms where the temperature exceeds 60°C or near a naked flame.
