The antibacterial properties of our surfaces are not affected by the choice of decor, texture and coreboard. With our matching decors you can use the same decor for different applications, even in areas with high hygiene requirements.Cleaning
Antibacterial properties are no substitute for cleaning or disinfecting the surfaces of our products. Regular cleaning should be carried out in private applications and a hygiene plan implemented in commercial applications. Without regular cleaning the benefits of an antibacterial surface are compromised.

ISO 22196:2011 tests the growth of Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli, measuring the reduction in bacteria over a 24 hour period, and the effectiveness of the antibacterial properties on the surface. All of the EGGER products listed below scored a value of ≥3 which indicates that the surface has a strong antibacterial effect, which is the highest possible result in the test.

|---|---|

| Significant | 2 ≤ A < 3 |
| High | A ≥ 3 |
Application areas
EGGER provides all the products and decorative surfaces required, in terms of function and design, across multiple application areas.Home

Design without limits. Hygiene is particularly important in busy public and commercial areas where people gather and interact. With our wide range of antibacterial surfaces, there is no need to compromise on the design.

A high level of hygiene is vital in these public areas. Easy to clean and durable products such as compact laminate or standard laminate are popular for such applications. They also offer a wide range of design possibilities.
Medical centres and laboratories
Using products with antibacterial properties are paramount in the health sector. Furniture and surfaces in waiting areas, treatment rooms and hospital wards which are made with EGGER products, safely meet the high level of hygiene required.
