In schools and laboratories, safety and hygiene are non-negotiable. Walls behind benches, sinks, and cooking equipment need protection from heat, spills, and impact. Traditional wall coverings like tiles or laminates often fail in these environments, requiring frequent maintenance. 

That’s why stainless steel splashbacks and stainless wall linings are increasingly specified for schools and labs. At Marko Stainless, we fabricate EFSG-compliant stainless splashbacks designed to withstand the daily demands of education and laboratory environments.

Why Stainless Steel Splashbacks? 

  1. Fireproof Protection 
    Stainless is naturally fire-resistant. In science labs with Bunsen burners or school kitchens with cooktops, stainless splashbacks provide a fireproof barrier that laminates and acrylics cannot. 
  1. Hygienic Surface 
    With a non-porous finish, stainless prevents bacteria and mould growth. This makes it perfect for spaces where hygiene is a priority, such as food tech rooms and science labs. 
  1. Durability 
    Unlike tiles that can crack or laminates that warp, stainless wall linings withstand impact, moisture, and heat for decades. 
  1. Easy Cleaning 
    Stainless is quick to wipe down and doesn’t stain, reducing maintenance time for schools and lab staff.

Stainless Splashbacks in Schools 

In schools, splashbacks must not only be durable but also meet Education Facilities Standards & Guidelines (EFSG). 

Common applications include: 

  • Food Technology Rooms: Protect walls from heat and splashes in cooking classes. 
  • Science Laboratories: Shield surfaces from chemical spills and heat exposure. 
  • Classroom Wet Areas: Provide long-lasting protection behind sinks and wash stations. 

By installing EFSG-compliant stainless splashbacks, builders and architects can be confident their school projects will pass compliance checks while delivering long-term performance.

Stainless Splashbacks in Laboratories 

In labs, materials are exposed to chemicals, heat, and heavy use. Stainless steel wall linings provide a durable and hygienic solution that withstands these conditions. Unlike tiles or painted walls, stainless doesn’t absorb chemicals or peel under stress, making it the safest choice for modern labs.

Design Options 

At Marko Stainless, we fabricate splashbacks and wall linings to suit project requirements: 

  • Custom sizes to fit benches, sinks, or full wall coverage 
  • Brushed or polished finishes depending on aesthetic preference 
  • Integrated units with stainless benches and sinks for seamless design 
  • Fireproof wall linings for full protection in high-risk areas 

This flexibility ensures every project gets a splashback tailored to its exact needs.

Stainless vs Other Wall Coverings 

  • Tiles: Require grout, which is difficult to clean and prone to bacteria build-up. Tiles can also crack under impact. 
  • Laminate: Low-cost but flammable and prone to warping when exposed to heat and moisture. 
  • Acrylic: Modern-looking but lacks fire resistance, unsuitable for schools and labs. 
  • Stainless Steel: Fireproof, hygienic, impact-resistant, and EFSG compliant. 

When compared to alternatives, stainless clearly provides the safest and most durable solution.
