Germ Free Tiles

Germ Free Tiles

Germ Free tiles from Endura by Johnson are engineered to meet the stringent hygiene demands of regulated industries. Designed for continuous microbial defence, these tiles incorporate silver-ion-based antimicrobial technology, which neutralises over 99% of bacteria, viruses, fungi , and moulds — ensuring consistent protection even between scheduled cleaning cycles.

In sectors like food processing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and commercial kitchens, microbial contamination isn't just a concern — it’s a risk to compliance, productivity, and public health. Germ Free Tiles reduce that risk at the surface level. By eliminating microbes on contact, they support GMP protocols, FDA/USDA compliance, and help organisations meet the hygiene benchmarks outlined in ISO 22196:2011 and JIS Z 2801:2010 standards.

Unlike topical coatings, our antimicrobial compound is permanently embedded in the tile glaze — developed at H&R Johnson’s DSIR-certified R&D facility. It does not wear off, leach, or require reapplication. The result: long-term protection without chemical runoff, surface damage, or manual retreatment.

Key Features of Germ Free Tiles Core Advantages for Regulated Facilities Benefits for Regulatory and Operational Compliance
Integratedsilver-ion antimicrobial layer embedded within the glaze (not a surface coating). Permanent antimicrobial efficacy—protection lasts the life of the tile, no reapplication needed. Helps facilities meet mandatory hygiene regulations in sectors like food, pharma, and healthcare.
Available in 30x30 cm size with 1 cm, 1.5 cm, and >2 cm thickness options. Eliminates bacteria, viruses, moulds, and fungi that contribute to contamination risks. Reduces microbial load between cleaning cycles, supporting sanitation SOPs and HACCP frameworks.
Designed for walls and floors in wet, sterile, or moisture-prone industrial areas. Certified slip-resistant (R9) and water-absorbent < 0.5%, reducing accidents and Safe for direct and indirect human contact; free from toxic additives or coatings.
Scratch- and stain-resistant surface helps retain hygiene integrity in high-traffic facilities. Withstands chemicals, acids, alkalis, and exposure to aggressive cleaning agents. Minimises downtime and maintenance frequency, reducing long-term cleaning costs.
Available in matt and plain finishes for seamless visual and operational integration. Performance tested in industrial plants for over 15 years under real-world conditions. Ideal for critical infrastructure zones—sterile corridors, cleanrooms, production units, hospital wards, and public washrooms.

FAQ

Not entirely. These tiles are a complementary layer of protection. They reduce microbial buildup between cleaning cycles but should be used alongside standard cleaning protocols.
Yes. Germ Free Tiles support standards like ISO 22196:2011 and JIS Z 2801:2010, and are safe under FDA and USDA guidelines.
Anywhere hygiene and cross-contamination control are critical — pharma units, diagnostic labs, food processing zones, kitchens, hospitals, and public sanitation areas.
Standard tiles do not inhibit microbial growth. Germ Free Tiles offer built-in, round-the-clock antimicrobial action and are engineered for long-term durability under harsh industrial use.
No. They follow standard tile installation practices and require no special cleaning agents or protocols — making them a cost-effective upgrade for hygiene-sensitive environments.
