Tennant Company’s durable wall coating systems reduce maintenance costs, minimize cleaning time

by Ann Withanee — October 12, 2011—Tennant Company, a global leader in designing, manufacturing and marketing solutions that create a cleaner, safer, healthier world, launched its Mat Wall Coating System and Glazed Wall Coating System to provide durable interior wall surfaces that are simple to clean and easy to maintain, and reduce maintenance costs. Tennant’s epoxy wall-coating systems provide seamless, impact-resistant surfaces for an attractive alternative to concrete walls, concrete masonry units, drywall, ceramic tile, laminates and cement board.

The company’s two new products — Mat Wall Coating System and Glazed Wall Coating System—attack those areas that require continual cleaning, from public restrooms to commercial kitchens. Tennant’s wall coating system offers durability and flexible application. More, they contribute to the bottom line in reduced maintenance costs. The Mat and Glazed Wall Coating Systems are more than functional; they also contribute to the appearance of those areas where they are installed. For a custom look, both systems can be ordered in a striking array of colors and textures.

Tennant Company developed its wall-coating systems to provide flexible solutions that create a professional-looking appearance and save facility owners money. Specifically designed for environments that require frequent cleaning such as laboratories, locker rooms and shower areas, commercial and industrial kitchens, hospitals and schools, Tennant’s wall-coating systems provide chemical and abrasion resistance to stand up to the toughest of conditions. With unmatched durability and aesthetic appeal, the Mat and Glazed Wall Coating Systems can be integrated with Tennant’s seamless flooring system to provide a continuous sealed surface that reportedly does not promote bacterial growth caused by surface contamination.

Tennant cites these Wall Coating Systems benefits:

• Reduced maintenance costs with an easy-to-clean surface;
  
• Enhanced visual appeal with an integrated fiberglass sheet that covers tool joints and wall defects with Tennant’s mat system;
  
• Minimized repair costs created from long-lasting durability and increased impact and crack resistance;
  
• Increased facility air quality from low-odor and low-emitting materials, paints and coatings that offer LEED credits;
  
• Improved facility customization with a wide array of colors and textures to complement a company’s image.
