Kimpton Flooring Are the leading specialist in lining clean rooms with flexible sheet vinyl. We are a well established friendly company which offers a personal service to many leading Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Research Laboratories and other end users that require very durable, sterile, easy clean surfaces which will not crack, flake or chip as is often the case with more expensive solid laminates, plastic cladding, paint and resin coatings. 

 The sheet vinyl cladding is available in various grades to suit all requirements, including fire retardant to BS476 class ‘O’, flame spread, anti-static for electronic production facilities and slip-resistant for wet areas. The sheet vinyl is specially produced with reduced flecking, no surface polish and added fire resistance.

 Kimpton Flooring  Perfected the method of fully coving Floors, walls and ceilings of Clean rooms and then applying 2mm thick, 2 metre width, heavy duty Flooring grade sheet vinyl, to the ceilings and walls of new and existing clean room areas, the forming of the vinyl around all  coved corners and using a contrasting colour vinyl on the floors.  All seams, joints and mitres are then thermo-welded with matching vinyl welding rods which are cut and smoothed flush so as to give an impervious surface all over. The finished product is bright, easy to clean and will enhance any working environment.  

 Kimpton Flooring Have successfully Installed many thousands of square metres of sheet vinyl cladding throughout the UK and overseas for many Major Pharmaceutical companies.

 We have carried out and installed the single largest clean room cladding project in the UK - The London Blood Laboratory, at Elstree, Hertfordshire,  Where over 40,000 square metres of specially produced Flame retardant Gerflor 2mm thick, heavy duty sheet vinyl was applied to Walls, Floors and Ceilings in Laboratories, Corridors, Production and Storage Areas.

 The flooring  was thermo-welded to the wall vinyl and all internal mitres on floors and ceilings were fitted with separate 'Shield' type inserts to avoid single sharp corner joints that could encourage a build up of grime. Likewise, all external mitres were formed around the sharp edge and thermo-welded on the flat side so as to make much stronger, barely visible easy clean corners.

    Kimpton Flooring       Offer a relatively low cost cladding solution to clean room areas, as the sheet vinyl can be fixed directly over standard tapered edge plaster boarding that only requires the joints taped and skimmed flush.

The plaster board can be fixed directly over existing wall and ceiling finishes without the need for costly paint removal and re-plastering.

Alternatively, the plaster board can be fixed as a double layer over standard Gyprock type galvanised stud work which enables services and pipe work to be run inside the cavity behind the stud wall.

This method enables clean rooms to be renovated or installed without costly down time waiting for block work and plaster to dry out.
