Glasbord® FRP Panels with Surfaseal®: The Ultimate Hygienic Wall and Ceiling Solution for Commercial and Industrial Facilities

Built for Cleanliness in the Toughest Environments

In industries where cleanliness, durability, and compliance are non-negotiable, selecting the right wall and ceiling materials is critical. From busy commercial kitchens and food processing plants to healthcare facilities and clean rooms, surfaces must withstand constant cleaning, moisture exposure, and demanding operational conditions.

That's where Glasbord® FRP Wall & Ceiling Panels with Surfaseal® Finish stand apart.

Manufactured by VALTO Engineered Materials (formerly Crane Composites), Glasbord® FRP Panels with Surfaseal® has earned a reputation as one of the industry's leading fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) panel solutions. Designed specifically for environments that demand exceptional hygiene and long-lasting performance, Glasbord® helps facilities maintain a clean, professional appearance while reducing maintenance challenges.

What Makes Glasbord® Different?

At the heart of Glasbord®'s performance is Surfaseal®, an exclusive, patented barrier technology engineered to provide superior protection against everyday wear and contamination.

Unlike traditional wall coverings that can absorb moisture, stain easily, or deteriorate over time, Surfaseal® is permanently fused to the FRP panel surface. This creates a smooth, durable protective layer that resists:

• Stains and discoloration

• Moisture penetration

• Mold and mildew growth

• Harsh cleaning chemicals

• Surface scratches and wear

The result is a wall system that remains cleaner, brighter, and more attractive for years, even in high-traffic environments.
